VITAMIN G3: healthy & happy with “vitamin green”
Initiative VITAMIN G3｜Review
Healthy and happy with vitamin green: an initiative for people without a network
No matter what: the cards are reshuffled every day!
Do you still remember the following? What had been foreshadowed for weeks became a done deal in March 2020: a hard lockdown. In order to maintain our healthcare system, we had to minimize our social lives and stay at home. Far-reaching restrictions and contact restrictions determined our lives. Those were hard times that nobody wants to talk about today. But one thing has remained: We can make an important contribution to our own well-being and better health with our own lifestyle.
The VITAMIN G3 campaign – healthy and happy with vitamin green. A brief look back at a dark time
The pandemic led to confrontation with situations that we thought impossible, challenging us emotionally, physically and mentally, even existentially. Initiatives quickly formed on the internet to support people during this difficult time by encouraging (digital) social contact or offering video tutorials for sport, mediation or yoga. However, particularly vulnerable groups, e.g. the many people who were unable to access the internet due to a lack of network coverage or age, were left out.
We wanted to reach precisely these people, which is why I launched the VITAMIN G3 - healthy and happy with Vitamin Green campaign, eliciting wild support from the public. The publisher OPTIMUM Medien & Service realized the VITAMIN G3 health card games in record time. The accompanying campaign The Forest in the City motivated older people in particular and set a positive example. Every evening at half past six, people came together on their balconies, at open windows, in their own gardens or on the terrace. Together, they created a forest in the city using the free exercise card The Forest in the City to strengthen their resilience and immune system. Each for themselves and together. It was a welcome change and a complete success!
The realization remains: Our body's immune defense is not an unchangeable variable. How can we strengthen it ourselves?
The answer is: through exercise, proper nutrition, stress management and freedom from addiction. And last but not least, by spending time in nature, especially in forests, as shown by results from numerous research. Forest air is the best revitaliser for your lungs (click here for a perfect exercise). According to the findings of psychoneuroimmunology, people who are under chronic stress are less able to resist viral attacks. The more relaxed, balanced and content we are, the greater our chances of staying and, in many cases, becoming healthy.
I am deeply convinced that we all have an inner doctor who helps us to overcome even seemingly insurmountable challenges and to take life into our own hands with a positive attitude. To do this, we don't need a lot of fuss, but rather the basics of life.
Our outer and inner nature provide us with everything we need to immunize ourselves against problems, stress and crises. With the VITAMIN G3 initiative - healthy and happy with vitamin green, we have contributed to ensuring that this fundamentally important message reaches those who need it most.
The health card games are still small inspirations for happiness: instructions that can be easily implemented anywhere. And I recommend them to everyone who wants to do something for their health and well-being every day.

For years, Dr. Melanie H. Adamek has been studying the health effects of Shinrin Yoku, a a widespread health sustaining practice in Asia. She says: “For me, Shinrin Yoku is the logical consequence of Kneipp's health teachings, and it has the potential to become a universal health concept, especially here in Europe.”
During times of great pressure to change, we are more than ever dependent on simple, universal building blocks for a healthy lifestyle. Dr. Melanie H. Adamek has developed a toolbox with which you can easily and casually use the forest as a source of health and well-being, anytime and anywhere.
Many people talk about the link between forests and health. Few have Dr. Melanie H. Adamek's profound expertise. She is very familiar with the crème de la crème of the German and international scene and has researched the health effects of the forest herself. You too can benefit from Dr. Adamek's knowledge, eloquence and charm.
