Биография
Since 2016, I have been working at the Foundation Diet and Health Switzerland. During my employment, I have performed a wide range of tasks – this ranged from creating ingredients, transferring cookbook recipes, contributing to the development of new concepts and tools, coordinating translation work, work management, introductions of new employees, and creating and correcting of articles around nutrition to the reviews of nutrient compositions and supplements based on scientifically founded databases.
With my participation, I also hope to motivate people to adopt more health-conscious behaviour. Because a balanced diet is not only one of the most efficient means of influencing physical well-being daily, but at the same time a long-term investment in the future, which, unfortunately, offers added value that is often greatly underestimated.
Мотивация
The motivation behind studying biology lies in my interest in developing and deepening an understanding of people and the environment, especially the background of diseases. But I was also fascinated from the very beginning by the body’s own immune system and the general anatomic and physiological structure of people. After successfully completing my Master of Science in Infection Biology, I decided additionally to study pharmaceutical sciences. This is based on the wish to expand my knowledge in a complimentary area, namely how and why medicine affects us and what prevention options are available to us.
Particularly regarding the latter point, physical activity, a stable, social environment, and a balanced diet are crucial. Working at the foundation helped me to develop a better awareness of nutritional physiology and has therefore had a positive influence on my everyday life. Nutrition is a constantly evolving field, the influence of which on diseases in civilization will continue to play a major, albeit often underestimated, roll in the near future.
