when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar ..and the beer.

A professor

stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

So the professor picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor then picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

He asked

once more if the jar were full. The students responded with a unanimous yes. The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and poured their contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

“Now,” said the professor as the laughter subsided, ” I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things – your family, your children, your health, your friends, your favorite passions-things that if everything else were lost, and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else- the small stuff.

If you put the sand into the jar first,

“he continued, “there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all of your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take your partner out for dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls, the things that really matter. Set your priorities.

The rest is just sand.

One of the students raised her hands and inquired what the beer represented. The professor smiled. ” I am glad you asked. It just goes to show that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of beers.”

AUF DEUTSCH

Wenn die Dinge in unserem Leben fast zu viel zu sein scheinen,

Wenn 24 Stunden am Tag nicht ausreichen, denken Sie an das Mayonnaise-Glas und das Bier.

Ein Professor

stand vor seinem Philosophie unterricht und hatte einige Gegenstände vor sich. Als der Unterricht wortlos begann, nahm er ein sehr großes und leeres Mayonnaise-Glas und füllte es mit Golfbällen. Dann fragte er die Schüler, ob das Glas voll sei. Sie waren sich einig, dass es war.

Also nahm der Professor eine Schachtel Kieselsteine ​​und goss sie in das Glas. Er schüttelte das Glas leicht. Die Kieselsteine ​​rollten in die offenen Bereiche zwischen den Golfbällen. Dann fragte er die Schüler erneut, ob das Glas voll sei. Sie waren sich einig, dass es so war. Der Professor nahm dann eine Schachtel Sand und goss sie in das Glas. Natürlich füllte der Sand alles andere.

Er hat gefragt

noch einmal, wenn das Glas voll wäre. Die Studenten antworteten einstimmig mit Ja. Der Professor holte dann zwei Dosen Bier unter dem Tisch hervor und goss ihren Inhalt in das Glas, um den leeren Raum zwischen dem Sand effektiv zu füllen. Die Schüler lachten.

“Jetzt”, sagte der Professor, als das Lachen nachließ, “möchte ich, dass Sie erkennen, dass dieses Glas Ihr Leben darstellt. Die Golfbälle sind die wichtigen Dinge – Ihre Familie, Ihre Kinder, Ihre Gesundheit, Ihre Freunde, Ihre Lieblingsleidenschaften, wenn alles andere verloren wäre und nur sie übrig bleiben würden, wäre Ihr Leben immer noch voll. Die Kieselsteine ​​sind die anderen Dinge, die wichtig sind, wie Ihr Job, Ihr Haus, Ihr Auto. Der Sand ist alles andere – das kleine Zeug.

Wenn Sie den Sand zuerst in das Glas geben “, fuhr er fort,” ist kein Platz für die Kieselsteine ​​oder die Golfbälle. Das gilt auch fürs Leben. Wenn Sie Ihre ganze Zeit und Energie für die kleinen Dinge aufwenden, werden Sie nie Platz für die Dinge haben, die für Sie wichtig sind. Achten Sie auf die Dinge, die für Ihr Glück entscheidend sind. Spiel mit deinen Kindern. Nehmen Sie Ihren Partner zum Abendessen mit. Spielen Sie weitere 18. Es wird immer Zeit sein, das Haus zu reinigen und die Entsorgung zu reparieren. Kümmere dich um die Golfbälle, die Dinge, die wirklich wichtig sind. Setzen Sie Ihre Prioritäten.

Der Rest ist nur Sand.

Eine der Schülerinnen hob die Hände und erkundigte sich, was das Bier darstelle. Der Professor lächelte. “Ich bin froh, dass du gefragt hast. Es zeigt nur, dass es immer Platz für ein paar Biere gibt, egal wie voll dein Leben scheint.”😇

If not, the good news is that you can be, by learning to manage your energy more skillfully. If you are like me, you’re probably asking yourself about now “What the heck is ‘managing your energy’? Well, I assure you it’s not some new wave palaver or mumbo-jumbo, but a proven approach to balancing your energy and life, to reduce stress and burnout.

The creator of it, Tony Schwartz, the author of “The Power of Full Engagement”, outlines the key concepts behind it.

Ein Verständnis:

Inzwischen würde man begreifen, dass wir alle mit einem anderen Blick auf das Leben geboren werden. Dies ermöglicht es uns, verschiedene Ideen auf den Tisch zu bringen und dadurch Schwierigkeiten auf unterschiedliche Weise zu lösen. Um nicht zu kompliziert zu sein, was ist mit unserer eigenen Individualität? Sicher erkennen Sie, dass wir ein bewusster und ein unbewusster Verstand besitzen. Der größte Teil unseres Seins wird von diesen Kräften angetrieben. Das Gefühl der Instabilität und des Unglücks tritt auf, wenn das Bewusstsein und das Unbewusste nicht miteinander synchron sind und auf unterschiedliche Weise handeln, um Kohärenz zu erreichen. Es ist bedauerlich, dass der größte Teil unserer Natur von dem stammt, was wir in unseren prägenden Jahren zwischen geburt und 7 Jahren gelernt haben, was nicht unbedingt bewundernswert sein muss! Der Trick besteht darin, dies zu realisieren, die erforderliche Korrektur vorzunehmen und auf dem Weg zu sein. Es liegt in unserer Verantwortung!

LACHEN😃

😚Most people most likely had or still do, deal with one of the above issues during the past 13 months. Let’s look at some of the things we can do in order to eliminate or at least decrease some of these problems.

✏️Why don’t you become creative, by drawing, painting, composing, or crafting, that is something you always wanted to do, right? but never had the time to it, no that time is here!

🍵Structure and plan your everyday

life (getting up, showering, getting dressed, having breakfast, starting to work …) or adapting to the new situation (for example because of the home office). Rituals help because they are firmly anchored, reduce stress, and provide security against loss of control. Even small rituals such as preparing a cup of tea or taking a bath reduce the stress level noticeably. 

💏Plan and look forward to a little highlight for the day, for example watching a nice film in the evening, trying out a new recipe, taking a relaxing bath, or cuddling with your partner. 

🏃🏽‍♀️Don’t ponder

too much about the crisis is poison for the soul and usually does not lead to anything. Breathing gymnastics, autogenic training, meditation, praying, or using the app and YouTube to do relaxation exercises. 

📞Maintain social contacts via chat, telephone, video, or with distance and mask in the fresh air over the garden fence or on the street.

👍Do not only complain

about the negative things of the crisis or losses but also talk about positive things. 

🛠Make plans for the time after the pandemic instead of remaining hopeless: a vacation, a new professional perspective, or volunteer work – or a new project in your apartment or around the house. 

🏋🏾‍♀️Do some exercise,

go for a walk in the fresh air, work in the garden, and play sports. All of this and the green nature relieve a lot of stress, daylight also helps the psyche and stimulates vitamin D production against the winter blues. 

🤨Do not suppress the crisis,

but accept the difficult situation as it is. Then it is easy for you to accept inadequacies and do something about them, rather than seeing yourself as a failure. 

📺Reduce your news consumption

to 1 or 2 times a day and focus on sources that do not spread panic and false facts. 

💝If you help others to cope with the crisis as far as you can, you will receive support too. At the end of the day, this makes you proud of having achieved something and lets you feel that there is something worthwhile in your life. 

Derzeit befinden sich auf meiner Website über 350 Blogs. Meine Plattform sollte interessante, informative Blogs über Essen, Getränke und Reisen bereitstellen.

Auf meiner Website

gibt es wirklich nichts zu verkaufen, mit Ausnahme der erstaunlichen Wandkunst meiner Frau und meines E-Books mit Lebensgeschichten, das allen neuen, aufstrebenden, jungen Kochlehrlingen gewidmet ist, um ihnen zu sagen, was es bedeuten würde, eine Kochlehre zu solvieren und Ihnen meine guten und schlechten entscheidungen darbieten.

In den letzten Monaten

haben immer mehr leute meine webseite “UlrichK’s Food and Travel Blog” abonniert!  Als ich das letzte mal geprüft habe waren es über 1100 personen! Für eine Webseite, auf der keine Produkte wie Shopify, Wish oder Amazon zu  verkaufen sind, war ich gleichzeitig überrascht und happy, da es sehr zeitaufwändig ist, Blogs zu recherchieren, zu schreiben und gleichzeitig eine  effiziente Webseite zu unterhalten..

Ich hatte absolut keine Ahnung, wie man eine Webseite erstellt und unterstützt, aber heutzutage kann man mit Hilfe von YouTube alles lernen, und die von WordPress.org bereitgestellte Website-Plattform war eine große Hilfe und einfach zur erstellung  am anfang. Nachdem ich von meiner Hosting-Firma Hostgator.com internen Analyseprogrammen und Google Daumen hoch erhalten hatte, für innerhalb eines Monats viele neue Abonnenten zu erreichen, schlugen sie vor, Google Adsense zu implementieren.

Ich optimiere

und passe die Dinge auf meiner Website fast täglich an, um sie für meine Abonnenten effizienter, schneller und interessanter zu gestalten. Seit meiner Pensionierung vor 2 Jahren habe ich die Zeit, mich der Beherrschung der Internetwelt zu widmen, und ich liebe es. Meine Frau beschwert sich, dass ich zu viel Zeit am PC verbringe, anstatt mit ihr!

 Meine Abonnenten kommen aus der ganzen Welt, vorwiegend aus den USA, Europa und einem kleineren Prozentsatz aus verschiedenen Ländern.

Der am häufigsten gelesene Blog ist über 5 G und Tinnitus,

Ich habe dieses Klingeln jetzt seit einem Jahr in meinen Ohren und es stört mich wahnsinnig! Während ich hier sitze und dies schreibe, summt das Innere meiner Ohren wie verrückt!
Ich lebe in einem Haus, das im 14. Jahrhundert mit dicken Backsteinmauern gebaut wurde, so wie sie damals gebaut wurden. Als wir in das Haus einzogen, mussten wir Internet- und Wifi-Verbindungen installieren lassen. Ich glaube, dass mein Tinnitus verursacht wird durch die 4 G Wellen, die in diesen dicken Mauern kriechen und hin und her funken!

Und jetzt denken sie darüber nach, irgendwo in dieser kleinen Stadt einen 5G-Turm zu installieren! das macht dann mein Ohr noch unerträglicher!

Nach Angaben der medizinischen Weltgesellschaften gibt es keine nachgewiesene Heilung gegen Tinnitus, was für mich angesichts der fortschrittlichen Technologien, die in den medizinischen Bereichen des 21. Jahrhunderts verfügbar sind, etwas erstaunlich ist.

Was ist die Lösung? Wenn mein Ohrensausen zum Zeitpunkt der Installation von 5G unertragbar ist, müssen wir entweder das Internet in diesem Haus loswerden oder an einen anderen Ort ziehen, vielleicht in ein Haus mit dünneren Wänden !!

Wenn Sie in den nächsten Monaten keine Blogs mehr von mir sehen, liegt das wahrscheinlich daran, dass mein Kopf explodiert ist, Komplimente von 5G !! 😄

Bitte bleiben Sie Sicher und gesund!

Gruss Ueli Köpf

As of today

there are millions of deaths caused by Covid-19 and millions of infections in the World.  I do understand that a country cannot stay shut for an indefinite amount of time, as it would cause as much harm as the virus itself, due to depression, medical issues, suicides, obesity, etc.

However, governments apply their rules and laws upon the population; they make us pay taxes, they make us put children in school, otherwise, they find the parents, they make us drive on the assigned side of the street, they make us pay a yearly TV & Radio tax (at least here in Switzerland), they make you apply for a drivers license before you can drive your car, they make you buy a specific, taxable garbage bag, they issue fines for speeding,  they fine us for jaywalking, etc., etc, the list goes on with all kinds of laws and regulations.

As I understand,

this virus is contagious and transmittable by mouth, nose, and eyes, it is considered an Acute Respiratory Syndrome disease?! Now, I may not be the brightest star in the sky, but wouldn’t it make complete sense to wear a mask to prevent the spread of this disease whether you are symptomatic or not, and since anyone could be a carrier?

I would not trust a stranger on the bus or on a train with my life, because that person refuses to wear a mask. 

To avoid and overcome that fear of trust and to eradicate the virus, in my opinion, everyone should be wearing a mandatory mask until a vaccine is available. Sure, some folks will rebel against such a rule, but they will overcome and deal with it just as they do and accept all the other rules and regulations put upon us!

One has to wonder

whether or not this is about population control. By not implementing a mask law, it’s like saying, “Deal with this virus on your terms, if you wear a mask your continued survival depends on it, if you are not wearing it you may die! “ 

It is a no-brainer to me! My opinion is just what it is, my opinion, and some common sense!

Please comment with your thoughts below!

Plant protection products are prohibited in Switzerland. However, imported vegetables may still contain traces of pesticides. Farmers criticize unequal treatment.

Swiss farmers and consumers face a new problem. After 12 toxic pesticides were banned in the course of the pesticide scandal last year, it is now clear that the bans are full of holes.

Pesticide residues can still be found on imported food, while they are banned on domestic products. The Federal Food Safety Agency confirms this to the “SonntagsZeitung” in the case of the controversial pesticide chlorothalonil, which has been banned since December: “Food from third countries where chlorothalonil is not prohibited may still contain traces of chlorothalonil”.

«Wave of pesticide imports»

This also applies to the other pesticides, which have been withdrawn in the past months, says a BLV spokeswoman. Farmer President Markus Ritter sharply criticizes the unequal treatment of foreign products: “It is not acceptable that fruits and vegetables with residues of pesticides banned in Switzerland can be imported.”

This distorts the competition and “destroys our agriculture”. And: without a declaration, you are deceiving consumers. For Ritter, it is clear where the new competitive disadvantage of Swiss farmers is leading: “With today’s practice there is a wave of pesticide imports.”

The Hidden Secrets Behind Your Veggies & FruitsThe Hidden Secrets Behind Your Veggies & Fruits

Quoted by 20 minutes-online Swiss News

This may be an obvious question for the health conscience amongst us but there are influences that may be less cogent.

Exceeding safe alcohol limits regularly. partaking in recreational drug use, smoking, and eating a poor diet are the least brain-friendly pastimes you can partake in. Less innocuous activities that unbalance a healthy brain are disturbed sleep, too little exercise, high blood pressure, and simply not engaging your grey matter. These considerations put brain health at the forefront of the agenda, as they are very common factors that can affect even the most virtuous of us!

What should, must and can we do about it?!

Of the  Energy the body produces the brain uses a massive 20%; armed with this information it is crucial to ensure the foods we consume provide adequate nutrition to support our control center.  Poor energy production can create symptoms such as memory problems, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. 

In a very digestible nutshell, the brain benefits from:

5 to 10 pieces of fruits and vegetables per day should come in the form of soup, stew, snacking dried fruit, or smoothies; chances are you are well on the way to hitting that target. To get you thinking; why not count the portions of fruit and vegetables you have consumed today?

But what is a portion of fruit or veg you may ask? The World Health Organisation has a clear guideline on what constitutes a portion!.

 We have highlighted a few for you below.

Fruit

*Two or more plums, two satsumas, three apricots, or seven strawberries 

*One apple, pear, banana, nectarine, or orange 

*Half a grapefruit, one large slice of pineapple, or two slices of mango

*30g/ one heaping tablespoon of dried fruit

Vegetables

*Two broccoli florets, four heaped tablespoons of cooked spinach or kale

*Three  heaped tablespoons of cooked carrots, peas, sweet corn, or eight cauliflower florets 

*one medium tomato or seven cherry tomatoes; 5 cm piece of cucumber or 1 1/2  sticks of celery

Did you know when awake the brain can generate approximately 23 Watts of power?

Carbohydrates

They are essential and not all bad for you.  Good choices can be brown bread, whole-wheat pasta, brown rice, and cereals. tAs a rule of thumb, if the food is white, for example, white bread, then it’s likely to have been lightly processed to get that commercially attractive color. Carbohydrates are your buddy (best friend) for improved concentration and mental performance.

Essential Fat

Intake is easily achieved if you eat oily fish mackerel, sardines, herring, or eggs and lean meat.

The brain consists of 60% fat a fifth of which is composed of the essential fatty acids known as Omega3s and Omega6s.  These brain-supporting nutrients are not produced in the body so, including eggs, avocados, poultry, and nuts will cover the Omega6s,  but Omega3s  are mostly found in oily fish, seeds, and nuts.

Protein 

It is commonly found in lean meats, fish, pulses, legumes, and tofu.  its primary function is for growth and repair.

 it is always a good practice to limit sugar and salt, as recommended by public health organizations. A healthy balanced diet is the bedrock for good brain health but making leisure time, being active, and planning ahead to mitigate anxiety when traveling or doing something new; is also good advice.

How the brain changes with age

Your brain is an organ but it behaves like a muscle and muscles love to learn and be challenged as we move through the different life stages; our brain acquires new information; learns fresh practices and develops different habits.

 Old nerf connections are lost; new ones are built, in the ever-changing environment that is the brain.  These processes are known as brain plasticity. Age is a wonderful thing, without it, we could not hope to be exposed to the magnitude of influences necessary to grow and expand the mind and its ability.

Being a wise owl s great, however noticeable changes in brain performance to creep in as we get older.  forgetting to take medicine or having difficulty remembering names could be an indication there is cause for concern.

Age 10 to 30

The brain reaches maturity when we reach our 20s. Areas such as reasoning, impulse control, and planning are fully developed.

Age 30 to 40 

It’s at this period in our lives that nerve cells start to gradually decline and brain volume starts to reduce

Age 42 to 50

Short-term memory may be trickier to recall as the first signs of gradual brain volume decline starts to show. Reactions to complex situations may take that much longer

Age 50 to 60 

Understanding, creativity, financial literacy, and language are still acute; however, multitasking may be a little more of a challenge

Age 60 to 70 

Reasoning, creativity, and solving problems are still sharp although processing information may slow down.

A 70 +

Cognitive health problems may become apparent; lifestyle and health issues will start to express themselves.

Keeping your brain active

Let’s get Physical

Did you know that exercise and being physically active are not the same thing? Being physically active simply means that you are mobile walking the dog, making a cup of tea, or visiting the shops.

Performing exercise means that you are raising your heart rate to improve your fitness.  it’s this activity that is of the most benefit to brain health.  Increasing the blood flow around the body has positive effects on cerebral performance;  so get that heart rate pumping!

According to a study, improving your balance can also pave the way for a healthy brain.  Balance and toning exercises may have a supporting effect on the part of the brain that controls mobility, better balance means we are less prone to trips and falls.

Learn Something New

This is a no-brainer, now that we know how much the brain loves to be challenged. When we acquire new skills or absorb new information the brain establishes new connections between nerve cells. As we repeat the practice it strengthens these connections.  The Brain makes complex decisions on how to process and store new material using different pathways which helps to change our performance. It is this process we attribute to improved cognitive flexibility and our ability to learn.

Brain Food

Nutrition plays a pertinent role in maintaining a sharp mind.  By paying attention to the food you consume you are supporting brain function and health. The well-reported attributes of oily fish are not likely to half-past you.  We are certainly avocated by their health-giving properties.

It is the essential fatty acids that the body cannot produce that we obtain from oily fish that nourish the brain;  after all, as we know now,  the brain is made of 60% fat.  The most effective essential fatty acids for brain health are EPA and DHA and oily fish provide ample amounts of these nutrients in the bioavailable form.  Almost 50% weight of the neuronal membranes is accounted for by DHA.  Widely known as Omega3s, these EFAs build cell membranes and foster new brain cell development.  Adding macrele, sardines, pilchards, or kippers to your diet, or linseed or Chia seeds if you are vegetarian, will support cognitive health.  If fish is limited in your diet you may consider a potency fish oil supplement, leafy green vegetables, blueberries, nuts, eggs, and seeds all packed with brain-loving nutrients and are easily incorporated into a daily menu.

Brain Therapy

Hit the Hay… when we sleep the brain doesn’t just switch off, it begins a clearing and restorative process. Getting a good night’s sleep allows the brain to perform vital housekeeping tasks,  such as washing waste from the brain by using cerebral spinal fluid. This task is possible only when we sleep as brain cells reduce in size opening channels between cells allowing fluid to pass through and sweep toxins away that build up during the day.  With this knowledge, it is not difficult to understand how a poor night’s sleep can interrupt this important work and result in a brain fog in the morning. Catching those valuable zzz also serves as a time for the brain to ingrain information taken throughout the day and preserve important memories. After quality rest, the brain performs better, and memory, focus accuracy, and creativity all benefit. So, pull up the pillow, defuse some soothing lavender oil, and sleep into the brain-supporting slumber.

Watch what you Drink

The Jury seems to be at a stalemate on this topic. Coverage in the media encourages that a little of what you fancy does you good and the next day abstinence is back in favor.  Whatever your view, getting sozzled may be fun but the hangover the next day is evidence enough that your brain wasn’t in on the party!

Alcohol interferes with brain chemistry, upsetting basic functions such as thoughts and feelings. Memory is also impaired and judgment can be affected too.  The brain processes slow down and short-term memory can even fail.

 It is sensible advice to preserve your precious mind, drink responsibly, and follow recommended alcohol guidelines by your authorities.

Connect

There is a lot to be said about happiness affecting brain health.  Connecting with family friends or like-minded people can provide a wealth of brain-loving endorphins.  being a socially active person can protect your mental well-being and on the flip side, loneliness can have a detrimental effect on cognitive health. Isolation is up there as a health risk along with obesity and health. Volunteering is heralded as being an excellent way to support brain health. 

Staying connected is how our species evolve and thrive,  the same principle applies today.  To live a happy life and maintain optimal cognitive conditions we need to spend time with people, laugh, share memories, and learn new things together, history knows we are good at it! 

Companionship takes many forms, and one never to be undervalued is the comfort that pets lend to our well-being.

Our furry friends create a routine and need our attention which adds structure to our day and gives a sense of purpose. 

They are perfect motivators for a daily exercise regime, who could deny those ‘ love my eyes’!  And can smooth away the owner’s tensions by stroking or playing with them.

 it is widely recognized that animals have a positive impact on our mental health and there are programs in place where animals visit patients in hospitals and residents in assisted living to help lift their spirits and improve their quality of life.

Pregnancy

Did you know there are approximately 100 billion nerve cells in the brain? In early pregnancy, they develop at a rate of  250,000 per minute.

Providing what your baby needs during pregnancy is what your body will do naturally,  however, the resources need to be ‘in the bank’, so to speak, there is plenty of attention paid to diet advice for pregnant couples with an emphasis on nourishment that will support their baby’s development. No less conceded is the baby’s growing brain.  Rapid growth changes occur in a baby’s brain during weeks 24 to 42 with a significant spurt from week 34. Similarly, the foods we consume for our own brain health stand to benefit that of gestating babies.
