Partnership dieNikolai + ms mooves
Up until now, my Demeter-certified cosmetics have helped many people with particularly sensitive or problematic skin or those who want to avoid artificial ingredients. With my AOX® OPC preparation, you can now also support your body from within, which has led to a wonderful collaboration with the association "ms moves - Health Promotion for People with Multiple Sclerosis". Judith and Anja from the association were so enthusiastic about my OPC preparation that they wrote an article about it, which provides deep insights, shows possibilities for help, but above all also motivates those affected:
MS - the disease with 1000 faces…
MS is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system and affects about 2.8 million people worldwide. Women are affected approximately twice as often as men. MS is one of the most common neurological diseases in young adults, and the exact causes are still unknown.
MS is also called the disease with 1000 faces, and this is due to the very different courses it can take. While some affected individuals remain fit and mobile decades after diagnosis, others are severely impaired after a very short time and are significantly restricted in their professional and social lives.
How can one positively influence the course of their own illness?
Conventional medicine often provides very inadequate answers here. Anja and I experienced the same thing that countless affected individuals experience when diagnosed: we were both given a bleak prognosis for the future – severe physical limitations were predicted, which we could at most delay. We were told to abandon the idea of a healthy and fit life.
We both refused to accept this and intensively explored the importance of sport, nutrition, and stress reduction to positively influence the course of our illness.
Today, we are healthier than ever – we participate in competitions and this year discovered mountain running as an exciting challenge for ourselves.
Running uphill and downhill trains the body extensively: strength and endurance, balance, reaction speed, coordination, and above all, the belief in being able to push one's own limits.
ms moves: We believe in life!
With the founding of the ms moves association, we primarily want to encourage and give hope to newly diagnosed people. Our goal is to provide comprehensive, positively motivating information and to show that in most cases, MS does NOT mean wheelchairs and severe limitations. Research shows that hardly anything is as low in side effects and at the same time as effective as regular exercise. There are important findings on the effect of nutrition on inflammatory activity, and there is extensive knowledge from trauma and stress research, as well as on the connections between the psyche and chronic diseases.
It is important to us to show that physical inflammatory processes can also be promoted or inhibited through nutrition, exercise, and stress. We want to encourage people with multiple sclerosis to pay attention to what they consume daily through food. This includes what foods they are – for example, animal or plant products, but also to what extent they have been processed (keyword convenience foods, fast food), where they come from (regionality), and under what conditions they were produced (organic vs. conventional farming).
The new AOX® preparation from die Nikolai is a wonderful discovery for us…
The polyphenols it contains are strong antioxidant plant compounds and thus help the body to inhibit inflammation.
OPC is many times more effective than Vitamin E, one of the vitamins whose intake is often recommended for MS.
The Demeter certification is particularly valuable to us: we are convinced that it is especially important for our body, which is already burdened by the disease, to consume products that are natural and free of pollutants and chemical additives. The fact that the AOX® preparation does not contain a capsule shell or other synthetic fillers and ingredients, which are often added to other food supplements, convinces us!
Come and visit us too…
We want to make it easier for other affected people to lead a healthier life. We want to motivate them to start moving, to set small or large goals, and to work towards them. From our own experience, we know how negatively a body experienced as deficient and "severely ill" affects one's psyche.
We support other affected people in feeling their own body positively again, developing a new, better body awareness and self-esteem, so that they can look forward with more joy and confidence.
Come and visit us too and spread our idea to the world!
