Body mass index (BMI) is a common method for interpreting body weight. It analyses your weight in relation to your height.

Often a soothing massage is enough to prevent or effectively relieve tension in the neck or back area. The powerful Shiatsu massage, in particular, is often found to be very effective. Depending on the intensity and applied pressure, this type of massage can also work deep into the tissue and is ideal for relaxing aching muscles and general tension.

The human body consists of fat mass and lean body mass. A high percentage of body fat increases the risk of illness and cannot be simply identified by sight. Even people who appear slim can have a high body fat percentage!

Blood pressure can be measured on the upper arm or wrist. The measurement results are – as various tests show – just as reliable when measured by either method.
However, with increasing age, the blood vessels can narrow due to deposits or harden due to arteriosclerosis. This particularly affects the wrist arteries, which are further from the heart, making precise measurement more difficult. Older people and smokers should therefore take measurements on the upper arm.
Wrist devices are unsuitable for patients with diabetes, as the arteries may be calcified or porous.

The human body consists of up to 65% water. Water is an important factor in personal well-being. Too little can cause tiredness, poor concentration and even serious damage to your health.

Blood pressure measurements can easily vary from one moment to the next. In many cases, this is completely normal. Even minor factors such as movement, tension or the method of measurement can alter the result. A brief overview helps to better classify these fluctuations and to understand typical causes.

Blood pressure is a general term used to refer to the level of pressure in your blood vessels. For your blood to reach all of your body's organs, it needs to be pumped out of the heart at a certain level of pressure so that the blood circulation in your body is maintained. Blood pressure is generally measured in mmHg (millimetres of mercury).
This value is influenced by your heart's power, the level of resistance in your arterial blood vessels, the blood quantity and other regulatory systems.

An optimal indoor climate is crucial for health, performance and well-being – especially when we spend up to 90% of our lives indoors. Dry or polluted air can promote respiratory diseases, allergies, fatigue and lack of concentration. Modern air technologies provide a remedy: air purifiers filter fine dust, pollen, animal hair, bacteria and viruses from the indoor air, while humidifiers support the ideal humidity of around 40–60% and thus relieve dry mucous membranes, skin and eyes. Combination devices such as air washers clean and humidify at the same time, dehumidifiers protect against mould and moisture damage, and sea climate devices simulate the beneficial, salty coastal climate for sensitive airways. The guide shows how you can specifically optimise your indoor climate with the appropriate Beurer devices – for clean, healthy air in your home or office.

We breathe in and out about 20,000 times a day. Approximately 10,000 litres of air flow through our lungs. Fresh, healthy air makes breathing easier and reduces the risk of absorbing harmful substances, pollen, viruses, or bacteria through the air we breathe.
At the same time, most of us spend between 80 and 90% of our lives indoors. The air there is often poor: humidity is too high or too low, the temperature is not optimal, or the air is polluted with harmful substances.

Our metabolism can be boosted greatly through strength training, which then leads to weight loss. Some people are initially surprised at this statement, however. Endurance sport was previously recommended for losing weight. But now to lose abdominal fat, for example, for many people strength training is more effective than endurance sport.

As individual as people and their cultures are, so are the needs when it comes to hair removal. Especially in the summer, we show more skin with lighter clothing. But the razor bumps or stubble that come with many hair removal methods are uncomfortable for some and restrictive. To achieve long-term carefree and beautiful results, consider permanent hair removal with an IPL device.

Heat promotes various healing processes and penetrates deeply into the muscles and tissue. In the case of muscle tension, the perception of pain in the brain is reduced and the muscles are relaxed by the supply of heat. Metabolism is stimulated, the vessels expand and circulation is promoted. In this way, the tissue can be supplied with nutrients and toxins can be transported out of the body. Persistent pains such as muscle tension or damaged tissue can be relieved with heat but only following medical advice. In the case of muscle tension, heat should only be applied if the joint is neither inflamed nor swollen. It is not recommended to apply heat directly to the joint but to limit the application to the surrounding musculature.

Whether on the face, neck, or hands - wrinkles are a normal part of ageing. Essentially, with or without wrinkles, your skin is unique and radiant. However, those who want to combat the fine lines can counteract them with the right skincare and a healthy lifestyle.

The skin is the largest organ of the human body, covering an area of approximately 1.5 square metres. It not only shapes our external appearance but also protects our body from all environmental influences. External factors like cold, dry air, or sunlight attack the skin and cause it to look dull, cracked, or unhealthy. Therefore, the skin equips itself with a protective and oily film. Since this protection does not withstand all influences, it is important to engage with your skin and understand what it needs.

Getting older is a part of life and brings with it many valuable experiences. However, as the years go by, everyday routine changes: physical strength diminishes, memory becomes less reliable and even simple things become more difficult. The question then is: How do I organise my everyday routine so that I remain independent for as long as possible?

Imagine your mind as a control centre, constantly in action, like a juggler keeping track of appointments, daily tasks, and the needs of others. This constant mental activity is called Mental Load, an invisible weight that runs through our everyday life. It's like a constant whisper in the background that can overwhelm and exhaust us. But what if there were ways to dampen this whisper and reduce stress?

Why do some people seem to lose weight effortlessly, while others maintain or gain weight despite similar diets? The answer often lies in the energy balance; the interplay between energy intake and energy expenditure. Understanding how much energy your body truly needs can help you consciously regulate your weight and stay healthy in the long term. In this article, you will learn how to determine your daily calorie needs, what factors play a role, and how you can balance your energy with diet, exercise, and smart measuring aids.

The term "healthy diet" seems like a closed book to most people. Many find it difficult to maintain a balanced diet due to lack of time, an abundance of food, or unplanned eating habits. This quickly raises questions such as: What can you eat? How is a healthy diet characterised? What does a healthy diet really look like? What does it actually do for me?
To answer these questions, we offer you a small insight into the topic of healthy eating!

Light and darkness are the most important timekeepers of our internal clock. The reason for this is special receptors in the retina of the eye. They are sensitive to light and regulate biological processes in the body when light falls on them - including our biorhythm. When daylight hits these ganglion cells, it wakes us up and switches the body to "activity". At the same time, the production of the happiness hormone serotonin is boosted.

How often have we resolved to eat healthier, exercise more, or finally quit smoking, only to fall back into old habits after a short time? It is no coincidence that new registrations and visits to gyms boom every year at the beginning of January, only to decline again over the course of the month.

Daylight is essential to life and has a significant impact on our health and well-being. It regulates our circadian rhythm, our hormone balance, our mood and our sleep. We often only realise just how important daylight really is to us when we are deprived of it. If we do not get enough natural light and sunlight, the risk of health problems and mood disorders increases.

With a length of approximately 7 meters and a size of around 300m², the gut is the largest internal organ of the body. It hosts a complex ecosystem of trillions of microorganisms that make up our gut flora. These play a crucial role in digestion, nutrient absorption, and even in regulating our mood and immune system.

Pain is a daily companion for many of us. Whether due to chronic illnesses, injuries or stress-related tension – pain can significantly impair quality of life. However, the answer doesn't always have to be a pill. Pain therapy with TENS can help you alleviate pain completely without medication and improve your well-being.

Sleep is essential for our physical and mental well-being, and good sleep is our daily source of energy. However, we do not always manage to sleep well. A large proportion of people suffer from occasional sleep problems. When thoughts, worries or stress once again prevent us from falling asleep, or when something stops us from sleeping peacefully and restfully.

Snoring affects many people and can be more than just a nuisance: it is often caused by an underlying medical condition. Men over 40 in particular tend to snore more frequently and loudly; as people age, these differences even out.

A healthy and restful sleep is our energy source day after day. Some people get into bed and fall asleep within minutes. Others count sheep for hours without success, toss and turn, search for the right sleep position or wake up in the middle of the night. There are also significant differences in how much sleep a person needs to start the day energised.
Sleep is vital and in today's world more important than ever. The demands on our everyday lives are constantly increasing. Family and job, exercise and sports, meeting friends and just taking a break – all this and much more needs to be juggled. But what influences our sleep, and can we actively improve our sleep?

Sleep is often seen as a mere rest phase, in which our body simply switches off. But in fact, sleep is much more than that. While we sleep, our body performs a whole range of complex tasks. It's the time of the day when it regenerates and gathers new energy for the coming day. We sleep so that we can recover and the mind can process the experiences of the day. But what exactly does our body do while we slumber peacefully?

How does sleep affect our body?

Especially during autumn and winter, we often feel lethargic and tired. The reason for this is the lack of natural daylight and sunlight. That's because light plays an essential role in our health. Not only does it significantly influence our well-being, our sleep and our mood, but it also shapes our biological rhythm. To optimally supply your body with daylight during times of low light, it is worth using a daylight lamp.

The fascia system is indispensable for the body and is largely responsible for its support. What's interesting is that there are parallels between the structure of an orange and the human fascia system. The fasciae form a network that runs through the body and keeps everything in place, much like the fine, white fibres in an orange hold the pulp together. In addition, both the fasciae and the structure of an orange are flexible, can stretch and contract again to enable movements. This similarity can help us understand the complex and fascinating system of fasciae better.
