Frühstück, a German breakfast feast

I love staying at German hotels like the H2 Hotel Wien Schönbrunn where they serve a full German breakfast buffet. It’s a great way to start a day of heavy tourism!

“A typical German Breakfast is coffee and various juices, German crusty rolls, jam, jelly, wurst and cheese platter and soft boiled eggs.”

In general, we noticed that Austrians (and Europeans) in general eat more whole foods and are fitter than Americans — yes, I know that’s a gross overgeneralization but I think we have a lot to learn in the US.

This Just In: Over Consumption of Sugar Contributes to Muscle & Joint Pain!

Americans eat a lot of sugar! According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the average American consumes roughly 47 pounds of cane sugar and 35 pounds of high-fructose corn syrup per year. We all know sugar is the main ingredient in the obvious villains such as candy, ice cream and other desserts, but there are also hidden sugars in most processed foods. This includes many so called “healthy” foods such as whole grain breakfast cereals, granola bars, pasta sauce, yogurt, and sports drinks. It is widely known that overconsumption of sugar causes obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, but did you know that it could be contributing to your muscle and joint pain as well?

The one regimen I’ve never tried, however, is the one I write about the most: the Mediterranean Diet.
