Nutrition

What and how much have you had to drink so far today? If you realize it's been too little, grab a glass of water quickly before you continue reading. Find out how many liters of water per day you should actually consume, how to adequately hydrate your body during hot weather, and why it's crucial for effective AURUM training.

Energized through the summer - that's how you have the power to do exactly what you want. But what role does nutrition play in this? Which nutrients are particularly important for your health and strength? We'll show you what a balanced diet can look like in hot weather and provide you with helpful tips to stay or become fit and healthy even as temperatures rise.

Good nutrition is key to overall health and well-being. However, many of us only pay attention to what we put into our bodies later in life. In this blog post, we will learn from someone who only started caring about nutrition in their 30s: Toto Wolff, Austrian motorsport executive and former racing driver, currently serving as the CEO and Team Principal of Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team, shares his experiences and insights on creating a balanced diet that works for him. Although he "loves Oreos", he wouldn't eat them, and if he did, in moderation. Instead, he would attempt to have a balanced diet with plenty of protein, carbohydrates, and a mix of vegetables and fruits.

Eggs - a pure vitamin and mineral bomb that should not be missed not just at Easter, but also at the daily breakfast table. Eggs are real powerhouses with many valuable nutrients. They are rich in vitamins A, B2, B12, D and folic acid, as well as phosphorus, selenium, iron, zinc and choline. Almost all the proteins and amino acids contained in eggs can be converted and absorbed. And now comes the surprise: egg yolk contains more proteins than the protein itself! Yup, egg yolk consists of about 50% water, 32% fat and 15% proteins. Liquid egg white, on the other hand, is about 90% water and only 10% protein. #sorrynotsorry but so much for the trends of eating only egg white omelette with leeks and spinach on the weekend. Oh yeah, and one thing right up front: the information in this blog post refers exclusively to the chicken eggs and NOT the chocolate eggs.
