About Gesund sein!

Gesund sein!

Gesund sein! is the quarterly German health and nutrition magazine focused on anti-inflammatory eating, sold through the BPV Medien Vertrieb GmbH & Co. KG in Rheinfelden. Positioned in the "Gesundheit & Essen" (health & food) segment, the magazine builds each issue around the theme "Frei von Entzündungen" (free from inflammation): the nutritional science of chronic low-grade inflammation – the "stillschweigende Entzündungen" (silent inflammations) that burden the organism even when no acute illness is present – and the kitchen's answer: fresh, cooling, nutrient-rich dishes, anti-inflammatory ingredients, antioxidant smoothies, omega-3-rich oils, healthy grilling ideas, sweet desserts and herb-and-fruit refreshments. With four issues a year at 8.99 euros per copy and an annual subscription at 39.96 euros, Gesund sein! is the special-interest magazine for the health-conscious cook – the quarterly inspiration for the delicious, healthy, uncomplicated seasonal kitchen where pleasure and well-being coincide.

Overview

Gesund sein! appears quarterly – four issues per year, numbered by year and quarter (Nr. 01/2025 through Nr. 04/2026 in the documented shop range) – distributed by the BPV Medien Vertrieb GmbH & Co. KG, Römerstrasse 90, 79618 Rheinfelden. The single issue costs 8.99 euros (8.95 euros for the 2025 issues); the annual subscription is offered at 39.96 euros, discounted to 33.97 euros in the promotion – the special-interest pricing of the premium health magazine, positioned above the weekly women's-magazine health pages and below the medical specialist literature.

The magazine's concept – the "Gesundheit & Essen Magazin" – dedicates each issue to the anti-inflammatory kitchen: "Frei von Entzündungen" as the recurring theme that gives the quarterly its identity. The editorial promise addresses the summer issue's logic, which the shop's issue description articulates: the summer is here, and it is fun to use the good weather for outdoor activities that do us good and benefit health – yet there is much to consider, because precisely in the warm season it is important to support the body with the right nutrition. High temperatures can burden the organism, and the silent inflammations take no pause in summer either. With a conscious diet, readers can help their body regulate itself, strengthen the immune system and feel well all around.

Each issue delivers the seasonal inspiration in the magazine's signature mix: crisp salads with anti-inflammatory ingredients, light soups with seasonal vegetables, refreshing smoothies full of antioxidants, light dishes with omega-3-rich oils that nourish the body while relieving it, healthy grilling ideas, sweet desserts and refreshing drinks with herbs and fruits – the pleasure without regret ("Genuss ohne Reue"). The goal, in the magazine's own words: to deliver inspiration for a delicious, healthy and uncomplicated seasonal kitchen – full of aromas, colors and nutrients that promote well-being. Because healthy eating means not renunciation but conscious enjoyment ("bewussten Genuss") with all the valuable foods that the season gives – the anti-dogma position that distinguishes the magazine from the diet-book literature.

The target readership is the health-conscious home cook: the readers – predominantly women, in the health-magazine segment's typical demographic – who seek the intersection of pleasure and health, who want the scientific backing for their kitchen choices without the diet-book dogma, who cook seasonally and consciously and who treat the quarterly issue as the seasonal inspiration source. The magazine serves the lifestyle-medicine trend: the growing public awareness that chronic low-grade inflammation – driven by diet, stress, lack of exercise and environmental factors – underlies many civilization diseases, and that the kitchen is the most accessible intervention.

History

Gesund sein! was developed as the health-and-nutrition special-interest magazine in the BPV Medien Vertrieb's portfolio – the Rheinfelden-based media distribution house (Römerstrasse 90, 79618 Rheinfelden; info@craftery.de; support Monday–Friday 09:00–17:00) that handles the magazine's sales through the craftery.de shop. The magazine established its quarterly rhythm with the "Frei von Entzündungen" theme as its signature: the Nr. 01/2025 through Nr. 04/2026 issues documented in the shop – eleven products listed, from the single issues (Nr. 01/2025 through Nr. 04/2026) to the "Gesund sein-Bundle" (19.90 euros, discounted to 13.99 euros) and the annual subscription – the continuous quarterly exploration of the anti-inflammatory kitchen across the seasons.

The theme's choice reflects the nutritional science's direction in the 2020s: the chronic low-grade inflammation – the "silent inflammation" – as the lifestyle medicine's central concept; the dietary patterns (Mediterranean, plant-forward, omega-3-rich, low in ultra-processed foods) that the research associates with reduced inflammatory markers; the specific anti-inflammatory foods (berries, leafy greens, fatty fish, olive oil, nuts, turmeric, ginger) that the magazine's recipes feature. The magazine translates the science into the seasonal kitchen: the summer's cooling dishes and antioxidant smoothies, the autumn's root vegetables and immune-supporting soups, the winter's warming anti-inflammatory menus, the spring's detoxifying greens – the year's cycle as the anti-inflammatory program, each quarterly issue timed to the season's produce and the season's health challenges.

Content and Sections

The editorial program of Gesund sein! follows the seasonal kitchen's anti-inflammatory logic, issue by issue. The recipe sections form the core: the seasonal dishes – crisp salads with anti-inflammatory ingredients, light soups with seasonal vegetables, refreshing smoothies full of antioxidants, light main courses with omega-3-rich oils, healthy grilling ideas for the summer, sweet desserts that prove health and indulgence compatible, refreshing drinks with herbs and fruits – each developed around the anti-inflammatory ingredients and each photographed in the magazine's appetizing visual language, from the ingredient list to the working steps.

The nutritional-science sections explain the background: the silent inflammations – what they are, how they arise, how they burden the organism; the immune system – how the conscious diet strengthens it; the self-regulation – how the body, properly nourished, regulates itself; the omega-3 fatty acids, the antioxidants, the phytochemicals – the "why" behind the recipes, the conscious enjoyment's scientific foundation, presented accessibly for the lay reader.

The seasonal features address the year's challenges: the summer heat's burden on the organism and the cooling nutrition strategy; the autumn's transition and the immune preparation; the winter's darkness and the mood-and-immunity nutrition; the spring's renewal and the detoxifying greens – the seasonal nutrition strategies that make each quarterly issue timely.

The lifestyle sections complement the kitchen: the outdoor activities that benefit health, the exercise that complements the anti-inflammatory diet, the stress management, the sleep – the holistic health program around the anti-inflammatory nutrition, because the magazine's philosophy treats the kitchen as the center but not the boundary of the healthy life.
