Optimized down to the last Brazil nut: Why every ingredient counts at Healmeal

At Healmeal, nothing is left to chance. Every ingredient, every quantity, every combination – everything is thought through down to the smallest detail. Not because we are perfectionists (okay, maybe a little), but because we eat these meals ourselves. Every day. And we don't want to make any compromises. The Brazil Nut Formula: Precision instead of guesswork The perfect example: Brazil nuts In every Healmeal breakfast, you will find exactly 2-3 Brazil nuts. No more, no less. Why? Selenium requirement: This quantity perfectly covers your daily selenium requirement. Too little? Not optimal effect. Too much? Risk of selenium poisoning. That's Healmeal in a nutshell: scientifically sound, precisely dosed, without compromise. Nuts: Why a handful is just right Science says: 2 handfuls of nuts (approx. 30g) per day significantly reduce the risk of colon cancer. What we do: Exactly this amount – with rotation. Sometimes cashews, sometimes hazelnuts, sometimes walnuts. Why rotate? Because each type of nut has a different nutrient profile. Together they give you the complete spectrum. And yes, as a vegan, 2-3 Brazil nuts are your complete daily selenium requirement. Covered. Done. Next topic. Berries: No homeopathic quantities Berries would definitely be in our top 5 foods if we could only eat 5. Why? Antioxidant bombs. Vitamins. Anti-inflammatory. Simply incredibly healthy. Studies say: 50-150g of berries per day, depending on the study What we do: 170-190g per bowl – more than most recommendations, because we say: when it comes to what's healthy, better too much than too little. Our rotation: Blueberries (naturally wild, more antioxidants), Blackberries, Raspberries Plot Twist: Why NO bananas for breakfast? Many people think: bananas + berries in a smoothie = healthy! The reality: Bananas inhibit the absorption of antioxidants from berries by 90%. What the f*ck, right? Your whole life you might have put bananas in your berry smoothie and thus destroyed almost all the health benefits. The rule: No bananas with berries or other flavanol-rich foods (like cocoa). Period. Therefore: At Healmeal, we deliberately don't include bananas in our breakfast. Instead, over 150g of pure berry power. Vegetables: Not just for Instagram In some "healthy" ready meals, you'll find 2-3 small broccoli florets. Homeopathic. Alibi vegetables for marketing. With us: Proper portions. Scientifically justified by Dr. Michael Greger's recommendations (How Not To Die). Every ingredient, every quantity – everything has a reason. Fun Fact:Felix also has to make sure the packages open and there's no trash lying around in the warehouse. But we can't write that on the page, otherwise people will think: "Dude, what's wrong with him?" (Okay, now we've written it down anyway.) Tomato paste instead of tomatoes: The small difference We don't use fresh tomatoes, but tomato paste. Why? Much higher concentration of lycopene (super healthy), more intense taste, and Felix doesn't have to chop (okay, that was his argument). The Daily Dozen Challenge: Healmeal meets all Dr. Michael Greger developed the "Daily Dozen" – the daily dozen foods you should eat: berries, nuts, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and so on. The truth: Whether you take Brian Johnson's nutrition recommendation or Dr. Greger's – Healmeal completely applies. You simply don't have to worry anymore. We've already done that for you. Flaxseed: The one thing you should eat every day Of all his Daily Dozen, Dr. Greger says: One thing you should specifically eat every day – flaxseed. Why? Omega-3 fatty acids (ALA – the plant-based form), fiber, minerals. The big question: Ground or whole? The dilemma: Whole flaxseeds are optimal for Omega-3 if you chew them well. Otherwise, they come out the way they went in. Ground flaxseeds react quickly with oxygen, Omega-3 degrades. But: You still get the fiber and minerals. What Felix does privately: Flaxseed grinder. 1 tablespoon in, grind, boom, eat immediately afterwards. Freshly ground = maximum benefit. What we do at Healmeal: Currently ground, because the reality is: most people chew 3 times and swallow. But: This is a dilemma we are thinking about. Our recommendation to you:Chew well. Mindfulness. (Or get a flaxseed grinder and be like Felix.) Ceylon Cinnamon: Because details matter We use Ceylon cinnamon, not regular Cassia cinnamon. Why? Ceylon cinnamon is better for blood sugar levels and contains much less coumarin (which can be problematic in high doses). The amount: a whole teaspoon. Not homeopathic, but correctly dosed for the health benefit. Cocoa Nibs: Raw Power for Breakfast No defatted cocoa powder. We use raw cocoa nibs in our breakfast. 100% raw cocoa – no sugar, no bullshit. All minerals and fiber still in there. Tastes great and is crunchy. Benefits start at 7g – we use 10-12g. What raw cocoa does: Theobromine for a gentle, long-lasting energy boost (no caffeine crash), antioxidants, good for the brain, just f*cking healthy. Bonus:For all those who don't drink cocoa every day (which is highly recommended) – you still get your daily dose in your breakfast. Sourcing:From family farmers, fair trade, one of the highest quality cocoa varieties we can source. Garlic: The Golden Mean Garlic is included. But: Not so much that the food smells of garlic. Not so much that YOU smell of garlic. Enough for the health benefit. A little taste, but not too much. The Healmeal philosophy: Not too little (just to put it on the marketing), not too much (so it becomes unpleasant). Just right. Why Healmeal is more expensive – and worth it All of this – the precise quantities, the high-quality raw materials, the remineralized osmosis water, the manual production – is incredibly elaborate. The truth: More expensive raw materials (fair trade, highest quality) more complex production (handmade, no mass production) no compromises on packaging (compostable, 10x more expensive). The result: Yes, Healmeal is more expensive than othercompetitors. But: These are meals we made for ourselves. We eat them every day. Why would we compromise? Conclusion: No homeopathic doses, no compromises At Healmeal you will find: No 3 berries in "berry muesli", no 2 broccoli florets in "vegetable dish", no marketing ingredients without real benefit. Instead: Scientifically founded quantities, precise dosage (down to the last Brazil nut), high-quality, fair-trade raw materials, no compromises. That's the difference:Healmeal is not primarily intended as a commercial enterprise. These are meals that we developed for ourselves – because we didn't want to make any compromises. And that's exactly what you get.
