Nils Walbrecht: Our expert for nutrition and food
Share
TREND BACKGROUND:
In our own trend studies, we are continually receiving new evidence that people are increasingly seeking to eat more consciously. Health is a megatrend, and the motivation to age as healthily as possible is turning nutrition into a lifestyle. Conscious nutrition is one of the central pillars of this lifestyle. Holistic and preventative concepts and a focus on the "good things in food" are gaining in importance—our diets are becoming more targeted.
Reality check:
The trend is there, but the range of products on offer is still relatively unclear. What exactly is a "good" or even "better" diet? Brands are leaving consumers largely to decide. For some time now, nutrition experts have been intensively discussing and questioning common nutritional models, such as the ubiquitous food pyramid, which the German Nutrition Society (DGE) still recommends as a guideline for healthy eating. Authors such as Bas Kast with his "Nutrition Compass" and Dr. Kris Verburgh with her "Nutrition Hourglass" are trying to shed some light on the matter. Both works are absolutely worth reading, but still a bit too theoretical for us.
OUR RANGE:

OUR DRINKBETTER EXPERT INTRODUCES HIMSELF:
"I'm Nils, born in 1981, happily married, and father of two wonderful children. I've been working in the catering industry for over 20 years. As a chef, holistic nutritionist, and certified nutritional consultant, it's very important to me to be the interface between cuisine and food. Because food is a means of life! Since 2010, I've been the head chef of ErlebBar-Dortmund, an event location for cooking classes, team building, barbecue courses, tastings, catering, presentations, and much more. I also hold seminars and lectures on healthy and vital nutrition. Since 2019, I've also been able to accompany the German men's national handball team, where I contribute with full passion.
