Salon Vivre Autrement 2018

Organic food fairs, novelties, literature, discussions … it’s a real treat for a nutritionist! This season I went to Paris, where in the beautiful Floral de Paris park, the exhibitors familiarized visitors with the offer of their products, allowed them to taste their delicious, innovative flavors and presented modern culinary solutions. Le Salon etéique et bio was the best idea to refresh the knowledge about […]

Mindfulness

The fullness of presence – in the attempt to translate the term mindfulness is a special kind of attention: conscious, non-judgmental and directed at the current moment (Jon Kabat-Zinn, 1990), at the same time experiencing a world that is beyond dreams, expectations and is a kind of experience of things “the kind of they are “(Ray, 2002). The mindfulness idea is consistent with both practice and approach, which consists in being completely […]

Feeding bridge

I don’t have to teach anyone about eating I breakfast – I hope. Lunch, the more. But I still see the habit of skipping breakfast II! I call this meal as feeding bridge because it serves as a smooth transition to lunch, which is the second most important during the day. At least half of adults and a significant percentage of schoolchildren forget about the second breakfast or consider them […]

La cucina di Vaticano, what does the Pope eat?

Alleluia! Probably you are already preparing an Easter breakfast. Today I have a question for you – have you ever wondered what is on the table where the Pope sits? What are his preferences, who and how cooks for him or according to which recipes? One part of my last trip was to learn about it from the best sources! Residents of the Vatican working for the […]

The basic rules of composing menu

Amongst lots of theories describing recommendations in proper nutrition and many doubts and controversies  I  met, I strictly recommend those described below: Quality – choose fresh and raw products and some of them, such as dried fruit or dairy products, poultry – if possible organic, and unprocessed – in a naturally occurring form, with the least amount of food additives. Read labels – avoid sugar, […]

Visit in the École de danse de l’Opéra national de Paris

You can write a book about the ballet school of the Paris Opera. However, I focused on the nutritional issue, which of course I am most interested in. Hours of classes at the Parisian ballet school are similar to the Polish system, but the nutrition system looks a bit different. And not only because of the country itself and its capital, which is of great importance here, but also […]

Ballerina’s Diet

I liked dancing since I was a child. I danced. I have not liked eating since I was a child. I did not eat it. During subsequent stages of education and trying to realize my dreams, I noticed a close relationship between the condition of the dancer and nutrition. And although I did not manage to finish the ballet school, at the right moment for myself, I understood that as an adult man one […]

Paris workshops “Healthy Parent, Healthy Child” – done!

On beautiful, snowy Saturday at 6 Rue de l’Égalité in Vincennes, there was an intensive but very pleasant workshop, which I had the big pleasure to lead. The partners of the workshop were Weesh Paris, Sylveco.pl, Cannaderm.pl, Honey Sufflet and Hotel Opera Richepanse. The program included, among others: – learning to compose the correct menu – seasonal products – advantages and disadvantages – proper […]

Sardinia – the smell of basil, lemons and myrtle.

Each region of a given country has its own autonomous cuisine. Traditions, methods of preparing specific dishes have their own history and are passed down from generation to generation. Being three months in nature, learning the recipes and tasting new dishes, I fell in love with this island. I’d like to show you the difference between Italian cuisine, which you probably know perfectly, […]

Do the dancers eat only vegetables?

A common myth concerning the diet of classic dancers, especially of the female sex, is that the whole regime is dictated by a permanent regime. Hardly anyone remembers and is aware of the energy cost of everyday lessons, trainings and performances. Just like everyone who cares about human figure and health, professional dancers sometimes need very little change to achieve a better frame of mind.
