First 5 km run!
I thought for a long time if I was born for running… As you know, I love activities, yoga, climbing, trekking, trips. But I always had doubts whether I could stand the distance, whether I had enough strength. So I tried.Completely spontaneously, I bought a ticket for a 5 km run as part of the fantastic annual #BergenCityMarathon event … and I ran 😉Time was irrelevant (35.26 min), the most important thing was whether I had enough strength… and I have… I will say more… I want more! 🙂 There is something fantastic about group running – this strength, this energy, these smiling faces! Truly magical time! Well, of course, great…

Kombucha – homemade booster!
What is “kombucha”?It is a sweet and sour drink made of tea, sugar and tea mushroom (Japanese mushroom). When ready to drink – ripe, it should be slightly sour – “a’la ice tea”.

Food power! #1
A foreword to this big chapter.In our fast-paced life, we forget about the most important thing that builds our body, that strengthens and heals it – nutrition! We learned to eat mechanically – instead of nourishing! We swallow food in a hurry, we eat whatever, we eat toxins, antibiotics, pesticides…Look at your plate and ask yourself “Are there vitamins? is there good quality protein? is there good quality fat?”It is not by chance that it is said that “You are what you eat”… If you don’t take care of NUTRITION, forget about a healthy body, healthy head, positive thoughts, strength to live, power and energy! Nourishment – strengthens, builds, nourishes,…
