Tip from our food editor Kathleen Schmidt-Prange: "Top breads or soups with sprouts or microgreens. The nutrient-rich sprouted seeds and miniature plants not only look great, they're also crazy healthy."Why sprouts contain so many nutrients like no other food, you can read here in detail.

Especially now in the cold season body lotion is indispensable. The changing weather outside and the dry heating air indoors remove a lot of moisture. Body lotion is therefore mandatory. But is there actually also one that really does not stick? Our beauty editor Philipp Wehsack has tested the range of products.

His conclusion: "Until recently, I never, really never used body lotion. I found the eternal absorption and the sticky film on the skin, which many products leave behind, too annoying. Since I recently gave the vitalizing body lotion from Lavera a chance, I even cream myself several times a week. Because not only does the cream smell fantastic like orange, it also absorbs in seconds and isn't sticky at all. On top there are no unnecessary ingredients like silicones and parabens in it. Of course, is also natural cosmetics. Absolute purchase recommendation!"

Her summary: "I also love this pillow that warms up to about 40 degrees when I have a looming bladder infection and pinpoint tension in my neck. As soon as you take it out of its packaging, it provides pleasant warmth for 8 hours. It's thin and comfortable, so I don't feel any of it except for the soothing warmth and can move around easily. Plus, the adhesive that holds the pad in place doesn't irritate my skin, which I especially appreciate since I have a patch allergy. I always have at least one ThermaCare for period pains in stock within reach".
