Notes About GRAZ - AUSTRIA
(07-11 MAYIS 2012)
Within
our Austrian partner “BİT”, we did the third meeting of the Project in
Graz on the date of 07-11 May 2012 . As usual, we shared the experiences of
eight countries in this Project meeting and took decisions on some issue
related to the outputs.
These
are the most significant shares that;
Partner in Romania carried
out weekly sports and they have trained a large number of people willing to
stay healthy and this is organized for both the adults and students.
Zumba fitness course that BIT (where our meeting took place in) organizes is really worth
seeing. . Employees who can not find time to do sports can easily do Zumba dance
to be considered by the experts as helping losing weights highly under the
trainer’s observation in order to keep their bodies fit thanks to the Zumba
course. This acitivity has created the impression of an institution combatting
and paying attention to the obesity in our mind, and however we have
contributed this course with this good excitiment. 
4-day meeting in
Graz, as well as the shares, which are beneficial to health in Graz production
(bio-production), we added some beneficial information into our memory by listening
to one of the agricultural fruit and vegetable producers. One of them was
undoubtedly Obsthof Fattingerhof,who produces delicious apple and apple juice in Graz, all
participants could give the 10 total
scores out of 10 scores for its taste and appearance if there was a
competion of taste in the area . . In terms of production methods, the yield to
be fully effective without the use of fertilizers and pesticides had attracted
attention. . The participants, have discovered in terms of the benefits of
apples to human health; to lose weight, constipation, immune, cholesterol, and
consumption of at least 2 units is prominent for heart-to-day requirements.
After this nice gains, we found
ourselves in a foundation where it is produced. That’s the pumpkin seeds which
we know to be beneficial to health, but many do not know about the usage of a
product previously introduced. I believe that we have learnt a lot of things
important from the products (Pumpkin seeds) obtained by Berghofer Mühle. It has added a new information into our foods line being
beneficial to health. 
After these information bombs, for pumpkin seeds the
first thing a participant can think undoubtedly would be what else it would
be except cookie . But as we've seen and listened to Berghöfer Mühle’presentations
about pumpkin seed and besides we’ve tasted the beautiful salad sauces, oils
and confections, we found out the answers of our own questions spontaneously. In particular, we have learnt pumpkin seed oil to be used for
meals and salads is very beneficial for our health and to discover the most
important detail of this benefit for us is
that it has about "0" calorie and its protein rate is so high, therefore It plays a role
alternatively in the consumption of oil prohibited for fat and patients who are
diabetic and have cholesterol, as a matter of fact this information has drawn
off an unusual line in our mind .
One of our travel stops in Graz was a foundation where the
vinegar having been recently declared as a healthy sauce by the experts in
books and magazines is produced. That’s Fischerauer’s vinegar. In this plant the production of mustard were also made. Whereas the lemon
is frequently preferred much more in Turkish cuisine for salads, to find
out the frequent use of vinegar in
Austria was culturally an interesting acquisition for us.
As we’ve seen and heard, we have registered ourselves once
again about “vinegar” that is the best friend to the vascular system of body. Fischerauer describing the benefits which makes
it a panacea explained especially it is good for anemia, asthma, respiratory for diseases.
And how would we forget the famous “Austrian dessert” ? We tasted this
beautiful dessert with delicious sauce made of various apples.
Thanks to the contribution of the host institution, the participants of Project joined "Business Run Graz 2012" in terms of the overall perspective of the Project.
