life and work

Winfrid Heinen was trained as a machine fitter, but has published numerous books on the subject of pleasure and health since the 1970s. Most of the works are self-published, produced, designed and illustrated with his own photos.

In 1993 he built a grape seed mill, with which the tradition of cold pressing grape seed oil could be revived. He founded Vitis AG for production and marketing. After extracting grape seed flour from the press cake of the seeds, he developed numerous products such as grape seed bread mix, grape seed spelled flour, bars, noodles, mustard, pesto and grape seed crispbread. He received patents in 34 countries for the inventions of oil pressing and flour extraction from grape seeds. Since 1995 he started to build a network for research and nutritional medicine in cooperation with various scientific institutes. This was followed by documentation on ORAC and FRAP analyzes and their use in Germany - and the first ORAC claim on grape seed products, as used today for other top-quality products in the food retail sector.

His participation in nutrition and health initiatives, the scientific lectures and numerous practical seminars on the subject of food resulted in the initiative “Quality and Health - Agenda 2020 e. V. “, of which he is chairman. In 2016 he launched the Auf! -Ruf! -Deutschland health initiative.

Since January 2019, Winfrid Heinen has been editor-in-chief of the new magazine he designed, "Healthy & Happy WITH THE PRIME POWER OF NATURE". The magazine is published six times a year by Linus Wittich Verlag Föhren and is only available by subscription. In it, Heinen provides readers with information and motivation for health care with enjoyment and quality of life - Heinen quote: "holistic and in plain English". As a basis for the texts, he uses knowledge that he has developed with scientists and medical professionals - including at the interdisciplinary science congresses he held on the Moselle in 2002, 2004 and 2006. Likewise, the experiences from a practical test of his fitness and vitality project Nutrition - Movement - Lifestyle (EBL), which he carried out in 2014/2015 with the Trier Chamber of Crafts. The result, a documented health gain for the participants, which according to usual parameters averaged 14%, was published by the Chamber of Crafts in a press release.
