"My body feels too good to retire."

We know how important natural nutrition is for energy and well-being, and Thomas is an impressive example of this. But what's really behind this "too good to retire" feeling? Thomas likes to emphasize that training alone is not enough. "As a competitive athlete, I make sure I give my body all the nutrients it needs: proteins, carbohydrates, healthy fats, the whole range." There is a simple truth behind this: if you want to stay fit in the long term, you have to pay attention to your diet.

A handful of nuts every day - for Thomas, that's completely normal, whether in training or in everyday life. Sometimes he reaches for almonds, sometimes cashews, sometimes a nut mix. Dried fruit, on the other hand, naturally contains sugar and provides him with calories when he needs to eat quickly. This keeps the snack breaks varied.

Dear Thomas, you are exactly right. This is also shown by a recommendation from the German Nutrition Society, which advises: "Enjoy a small handful of nuts or seeds (about 25 g) every day."

"It's often stressful and hectic on the road, but with the right snacks I always have a little boost with me. They help me to stay focused, relax and simply feel balanced, no matter where I am. For me, this is simply part of a successful everyday life."
