We know it’s a positive thing, but how do you describe it exactly❔
The simplest definition for us is: practice for training your attention.
Veganuary. Or how to be more in tune with nature.
Although the days since March seem to have merged into one block of time, the New Year has come indeed. And it is in our human nature to feel as always full of hopes and new plans, no matter the current situation.
Since health was certainly the main theme in 2020, more than ever before in human history, naturally we have set our goals for the new year around this subject. Most probably, you also have at least one health-related goal in your New Year’s resolution list. And what better time than January, more recently celebrated as Veganuary to step on the new path to a healthier, plant-based eating. Should we, however do it at all costs and to what extent?
Vegan or not? Both!
With so many for or against opinions about milk, it is difficult to decide what is really true in all the available information out there. We believe that true is what is best for our body. Besides from sugar, which we think should be avoided, if we listen more to our body it would be easy to pick the right food for us every day and at each particular moment. Versatility in nutrients is key, that is why it is very important to enjoy different foods and not go to extremes in any diet.
Plant based eating is probably the fastest growing trend at the moment worldwide, with more new product launches than in any other category. While we have started Coppa della Maga with milk-based ice cream, we have been offering also vegan flavours for years. And with the upcoming Veganuary, we wanted to remind you of our coconut based ice cream, that now has also two amazing versions with added probiotics:
How do you begin your day?
In these times of uncertainly and unprecedented change, we need more then ever some structure and positive experience in our routine. And there is nothing else that helps us kick start our day in a positive mood than a healthy and delicious breakfast. Get up half an hour earlier and dedicate this time to prepare a beautifully arranged meal out of wholesome ingredients. It will not only replenish your body with healthy nutrients, but also brighten your mood with the beauty and indulgence it will bring to your senses.
Healing sun
We know how important vitamins and minerals are for the proper functioning of our body. What many people underestimate, however is how crucial some of these may be for keeping us fit and preventing some of the most serious health conditions. And while it is difficult to point out a single micronutrient as most important, if you have to prioritize and avoid deficiency, it would be wise to bet on Vitamin D. The good news is that keeping your healthy levels is quite pleasant. Read on to see how.
The miracle fruit
Following our all natural ingredients policy and in the search of the best raw materials around the world, we came across this amazing gift of nature. Avocado, called also ‘butter fruit’, is really a star and worth spending a minute to look into. Amongst its numerous benefits are:
Healthy or fad?
‘In the grocery store:
- Do you have Tom & Jerry?
- I beg your pardon!?
- Berry cherry?
- Do you mean roji berry?
- Oh, yes, that was it exactly…!’
Such jokes have become part of our life much like all the super foods flooding the health stores.
The amount of unfamiliar foods can feel overwhelming and difficult to keep track of. The question is how to distinguish between the fad and the really healthy ingredients, that would be really beneficial to our health. We present to you one of them today:
5 reasons why you should have citrus fruits more often
With their bright colours, citrus fruits are not just pretty and refreshing, but they also have a bunch of health benefits, from boosting immunity to fighting various diseases.
We are lucky to be able to enjoy them all year round, but there is no better time to indulge on a freshly squeezed citrus juice on the rocks than in the hot summer days! Here are a few facts that may make you consider having these yummy fruits more often, not just because of their delicious taste:
Health, pleasure, beauty – you can have it all!
When faced with the dilemma healthy or indigent, we refused to choose. As we truly believed almost 10 years ago and have proven that you can have them both! This is how and why we have created Coppa della Maga and we strongly advise anyone to stand for what you believe and to pursue your own dreams no matter what!
Health is the prerequisite of happiness. And isn’t that what we all strive for! Not quite, or at least not only that. We desire also pleasure, indulgence and good time. As healthy food manufacturers, we believed we can incorporate all of that in our products. That is how Coppa della Maga (in Italian ‘The Bowl of the magician’) was created and since the very beginning, we aim to combine health, indulgence and beauty into each of our products and everything we do.
Stay at home, stay fit and healthy
Without doubt, one of the things we miss most while staying at home is movement. And while it is difficult to organize on our own a whole training session as you would do in the gym or a group class, it is quite easy to turn our attention to another type of exercise that is otherwise often neglected: stretching. Fitness experts say it’s the part of a workout that most people tend to skip. It can make a difference in how your muscles respond to exercise by warming your muscles, which makes them more pliant.
But stretching is not just obligatory before exercise to warm up and prepare the muscles for sports. It is wonderful on its own, as it improves flexibility and posture, which are beneficial to our overall health and wellbeing. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Regular stretching keeps muscles long, lean, and flexible.
Here, we have gathered a few tips for stretching, that you can apply while playing one of the thousands online videos available to all of us:
