For Whom the Bell Tolls
Time is the most valuable asset we possess—or not. Those who simply waste their time—and we're thinking of lifetimes—are wasting life, their own lives. The importance of time to us is perhaps demonstrated by the word "Zeit," the most frequently used noun in the German language.
Time is, therefore, a very valuable asset. Everyone, by the way, gets exactly the same amount of time—24 hours a day—but what we do with it varies greatly.

Easier weight loss with the TerLiMa weight loss chart
Anyone who wants to reduce their body weight needs to monitor their progress. Simply stepping on the scale daily and remembering it might have been a bit heavier 14 days ago doesn't work well.
It's better to create a small chart. In this example, March 2011. The starting weight from the previous month was 95.5 kilograms. Then, for example, enter 5 kilograms down and write the days of the month, here 31 for March, in the top bar.
Now step on the scale daily under the same conditions, ideally after getting up and before breakfast, and enter the result in the list by point. It's not too bad to forget a day or stay away from home for a few days.
It's a long-term routine that counts. The TerLiMa weight loss chart also clearly shows that it's perfectly normal to gain weight occasionally during a weight loss period. Good luck with the TerLiMa weight loss chart, it's simple but helpful.
Bread dough arrives overnight from Tunisia today by Jumbo Jet
I was at the organic supermarket again today. They have really great three-grain black bread for €1.99 and spelt bread for €1.25, 500g each. The only description I can think of for the package of black bread from my so-called baker across the street (€2.20, all 500g packs) is from the historic torture chamber in Rothenburg ob de Tauber.
There's a story about a baker who baked too small rolls. As punishment, he was dipped twice in the Tauber River. The next day, he baked extra-large ones, so to speak. I'll show them what's what. 5 dips in the Tauber River.
Food is a responsible business. People used to know that. Now, all they know is the price. And they don't even know where the bread dough often comes from. It's shipped overnight from Tunisia.
They're flown by a Jumbo Jet from Tunis to Frankfurt. From there, they're flown to all major cities, then trucked to distribution centres and finally delivered by delivery van to the supermarket or bakery, where they're delivered: Freshly baked for you! Yes, warmed up! And it's not that transport and foreign production are impossible; these baked goods are made exclusively with dead white flour.

Every walk makes you slim
Conquer your inner demons with a pedometer on your feet.
People who wear a pedometer, a so-called pedometer, walk an average of two and a half thousand more steps. This could benefit people who know they should move more but struggle to overcome their inner demons.
This is the advice of the German pharmacy magazine Diabetiker Ratgeber. For a study at Stanford University in California, doctors tested the effects of wearing a pedometer. The results are astonishing. The participants walked an average of one kilometre more daily, lost weight, and improved their blood pressure. I can fully confirm this from my own running experience.
Perhaps you must be a bit of a "statistician" to let the numbers you read motivate you. I've noticed that if I set a specific limit, I can reach it more easily using a pedometer. These things don't cost much these days; mine was £ 9, and, as I said, it's worth it.
Blowing sugar up your ass. How the food industry produces fat people
There's a popular drug, either consumed willingly or smuggled in by the food industry, that's the root cause of many nutritional problems and public health in general.
