Cold vests against multiple sclerosis – cooling vests against painful overheating
Heat is becoming a serious health problem for more and more people, but especially for certain patient groups such as those suffering from MS. Multiple sclerosis is an incurable disease with which many sufferers can lead a good life thanks to good therapies. However, heat is extremely stressful for MS patients because heat additionally affects the nerves that have already been damaged by the disease. That’s why special cooling clothing was developed that can protect against the effects of heat and make therapies more effective. Design: Christian Kugler
How harmful are e-cigarettes, vapes and nicotine pouches?
Smoking is still the most widespread addiction in Austria. About one in five people say they smoke every day. Even though fewer and fewer people are turning to classic cigarettes, the consumption of new nicotine products is increasing, especially among young people. E-cigarettes, vapes and nicotine pouches are presented as a harmless alternative to traditional smoking, but the long-term effects of these products have not yet been sufficiently researched. This year’s World No Tobacco Day is dedicated to “protecting children from the influence of the tobacco industry”.
Stress – the underestimated nutrient robber
Stress is essential for survival. If danger threatens, we are immediately wide awake and ready for top performance. This is mainly caused by the stress hormone adrenaline. The workplace is primarily about constant stress. To perform under stress, the body relies on vitamins, minerals and fats until they are used up. According to a recent study, more than half of the working population is chronically stressed and many people suffer from health problems as a result. In addition to regular relaxation, a nutrient-rich diet is all the more important. Layout:

“Consciously healthy” tip on the topic of middle ear infections
Middle ear infection is a common infection in babies and young children, but can affect people of all ages. Common triggers are infections and injuries to the eardrum. During the bathing season, water and wind can lead to bathing otitis. This is the name given to inflammation in the ear, which can easily develop into a middle ear infection. If a middle ear infection lasts for several weeks, it is called chronic middle ear infection. Symptoms range from pressure in the ear, severe ear pain, headache or dizziness to fever or discharge from the ear.
Movita – when body and mind dance
Movita is a health-oriented movement concept and was developed primarily for women who do not have a dance partner but still want to dance. Composed of the words mobility, vitality and dance, Movita combines sporty-coordination movements with cognitive exercises. Here you can train your body and mind to lively music. In addition to the sporting activity, the social aspect and community are very important. Design: Christoph Hofer
