5 things that will relax you more than a holiday


Between work, household and family, it is quite normal to get into stressful situations from time to time. They can also move well and gladly over a few weeks. Our first reflex is then: I need a holiday ! We can also incorporate effective times into our daily lives. Quasi-mini holidays, which - if they are repeated regularly - have a more relaxing effect on us than a journey. Why? Because they are more sustainable than a few days of vacation at a time.




 A trip is nice, but after two weeks the recovery effect quickly returns. In addition, vacation does not always mean equal relaxation: quarrel with the partner, organization stress, illness ... Unfortunately, many stress-triggering trips. So how can we relax more effectively? For example, with these five measures.

 30-minute walk Every day! 


To work, lunch, after work ... best in nature. Various studies show that only five minutes in the forest can be extremely relaxing - and positively affect the cardiovascular system.

 Getting a pet 


What can it be: dog, cat, rabbit? Not everyone has time and desire to look after a pet. The fact is, animals reduce stress. The American Heart Association has found that they can reduce risk factors such as overweight, blood pressure and cholesterol. If you do not have time for your own animal, but do not want to do without it, you can also take a Gassi dog from the animal shelter.

 to do yoga 


Yoga can be a wonderful daily ritual in everyday life - because you can practice it at home. A study by the Massachusetts General Hospital has shown that relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation, or tai chi effectively reduce stress levels. A few minutes a day can already make the difference!

 Find a hobby 


Apart from reading or yoga, there are many more things that can be a hobby.

For beautiful tight legs: The 30 day leg challenge!

Let it burn: With this challenge, every day becomes a leg-day! As soon as the temperatures become summery again and the short pants season is up, the legs move back into the field of view. It means being prepared. Plays with our 30 day leg challenge and tightens your legs. Jumping squats for thighs and buttocks Squats, to German squats, are the absolute must-do for tight thighs and a crispy butt. Obviously, such an exercise must not be missed in a leg challenge, so we have picked out a super-effective variant in which the calves are also addressed. Here's how: Just get up, your feet are about shoulder-width apart. In order to spare your back and keep your upper body in good shape, your belly is taut. Lower your buttocks backwards as if you were going to sit down. Then you jump to the top. You can help with the arms and get some momentum (be careful not to bother your head).

Danger of confounding: wild garlic from lily of the valley, autumn and other plants

From the beginning of March to the end of May is finally bearish time. The joy of the fresh greenery and the accompanying delicious dishes is great. However, the risk of confusion with other toxic plant species is always present. Since most of these plants grow at the same time as wild garlic, are poisonous, or can even be fatal, you should be very safe in the determination. Bear the garlic correctly First and foremost, an important basic rule when collecting wild plants: determine the plants outside on the spot !
