The Rhythm of the Year with Hanka Zemanová

The audiobook Rhythm of the Year with Hanka Zemanová is read by the author, Hana Zemanová. Music by Karel Mařík. A year-round guide, divided into 12 main chapters according to the months of the year. You will learn how nature strengthens and heals us each month with its seasonal and local gifts, and how to align your lifestyle with the rhythms of nature. The audio recording is authentic not only because it is narrated by Hana Zemanová herself – the author of the printed version of the book Rhythm of the Year – but also because the individual chapters were recorded in the very month they describe. Hanka felt that the different energy of each season was imprinted in her voice and delivery. • What is natural to eat in winter and what in summer? Which foods and drinks cool us down in the heat and warm us up in the winter without disrupting our internal balance? • How can you cleanse your liver with a dandelion salad? What are your options if you live in a city and aren't surrounded by nature's embrace? • And how do you prepare the most affordable elixirs or syrups from rosehips, sloes, elderberries, sea buckthorn, or aronia berries? Hana Zemanová She studied at the Faculty of Education, but instead of teaching children in school, she teaches people how to eat more healthily and naturally. She has written four bestselling books: The Bio-Cookbook, The Bio-ABC, and The New Bio-Cookbook, which have sold almost 80,000 copies. In 2021, she completed her most beautiful and comprehensive book to date, Rhythm of the Year. Hanka was instrumental in the creation of Pro-BioLiga (now Lovime.bio) and the Zemanka Organic Bakery. She is fond of the saying: “Though the father of the disease be unknown, the mother is always diet,” and therefore considers honest food the simplest way to reduce the “chemical cocktail” in both our bodies and in nature. She shows that organic is not a trend or an unnecessary luxury, but an ever-increasing necessity – for the soil, groundwater, biodiversity, and for our own resilience and immunity. Hanka is from Prague, but since 2006 she has lived in the countryside near Sedlčany. She is the mother of two daughters, Natálka and Eliška.
