Stavanger – colorful town :)
We took advantage of a long weekend and went to the Stavanger area to finally climb Preikestolen and see the Lysefjord. Usually we visited the North of Norway, Lofoten, Geiranger, Sognefjrd, Olden, etc. This time we chose the South – and as everywhere in Norway, the views are amazing!Below is a small photographic report from Stavanger – a charming town with lots of small boutiques (by the way, I bought a beautiful summer dress there ;), small streets and colorful houses. A style similar to Bergen, but somehow different. I recommend getting lost in the small, charming streets. And find a delicious coffe bar on the way 😉 Beautiful!

Food in plastic? NO! BPA (bisfenol A) is your poison!
The plastic monomer and plasticizer bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the highest volume chemicals produced worldwide. BPA is used in the production of polycarbonate plastics, epoxy resins used to line metal cans, and in many plastic consumer products including: cans, plastic bottles (pets), plastic food packaging, food containers, thermal paper, baby bottles, toys, water pipes, drinking containers, eyeglass lenses, sports safety equipment, dental monomers, medical equipment and tubing, and consumer electronics (1). BPA can contaminate food, beverage, air, and soil. It accumulates in several human tissues and organs and is potentially harmful to human health through different molecular mechanisms. Due to its hormone-like properties, BPA may bind to estrogen…

First 5 km run!
I thought for a long time if I was born for running… As you know, I love activities, yoga, climbing, trekking, trips. But I always had doubts whether I could stand the distance, whether I had enough strength. So I tried.Completely spontaneously, I bought a ticket for a 5 km run as part of the fantastic annual #BergenCityMarathon event … and I ran 😉Time was irrelevant (35.26 min), the most important thing was whether I had enough strength… and I have… I will say more… I want more! 🙂 There is something fantastic about group running – this strength, this energy, these smiling faces! Truly magical time! Well, of course, great…

Tea World
Tea – a drink known probably all over the world. Drink – an infusion made from the leaves and buds of a group of plants – belonging to the Camellia plant genus. The history of tea drinking begins in China and most of its varieties come from here. Tea plantations can also be found in India, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Japan, Iran, Turkey, Vietnam and Indonesia.However, it is worth knowing a few details about the tea that is worth drinking, and which one should rather be avoided, because not every tea is tea 😉Real tea – these are dried leaves or buds (in the mixture you can also sometimes find “sticks”…

Kombucha – homemade booster!
What is “kombucha”?It is a sweet and sour drink made of tea, sugar and tea mushroom (Japanese mushroom). When ready to drink – ripe, it should be slightly sour – “a’la ice tea”. Only advantages – no disadvantages:– strengthening the immune system, due to the huge amount of natural probiotics,– rich in vitamins B1, B6, B12, C, proteins, fats, polyphenols and minerals– mine, due to the fact that it is made on the basis of green tea, has an additional antioxidant effect,– detoxifying effect – contains glucuric acid, which combines with toxins and drug metabolites, toxins are captured and excreted from the body,– contains acetic acid, therefore it has an…

Perfect cheesecake – NO sugar!
We don’t like sugar! It is harmful, causes many diseases, is addictive!But we like cakes – and that’s why I use erythritol instead of sugar. It is a natural sweetener from the group of polyols, come from fruits, lichens, algae and pollen. You will also find it in vegetables, fruits (e.g. grapes, pears), mushrooms. Importantly – the glycemic index of erythritol is zero, making it safe for diabetics and recommended for people with insulin resistance. In addition, it helps to reduce the development of tooth decay and protects the body against free radicals. Erythritol is also good for slimming, because it contains virtually no calories, but it is almost as…
