I am back in my usual world. This world is safe, predictable, structured, wealthy …. My body is here but my mind is still with all the fantastic people I have met during my trip to Kenya with Better Globe. Visiting the poorest of the poorest in Africa. As doctor I have met thousands of patients in Sweden – rich and poor, with all kinds of problems. Often sad because they don’t have everything.

Today’s blog text is different from what I usually write. At first I was thinking this is not about health at all but I soon changed my mind. This is really about health – global health. Then I thought at least it is not about my  or your personal health – but it is too. These issues affect our minds – for good or for bad – and that affects our mental health. Tomorrow I will go to Kenya and see poverty in the eye.

8 essential factors for a long and healthy life

One might think I am a “shrink” to make such a statement. But no, I attended this fantastic lecture at a Rotary meeting in my hometown Lund, Sweden a couple of weeks ago.

Are you still on track with your promises?

Small steps leads to big results!

2012 is a month old. Only eleven month to go. What do you want to fill it with? Did you set your goals during the Holidays? Did you make a lot of promises about your health a month ago?

Respect the differences!

The outside may differ but on the inside we are all the same.

One of my daughters is for the moment studying in Verona and the family decided to spend Christmas with her instead of staying at home as usual. This time was a much more relaxed time together then previous holidays since we were not stuck with all traditions.

We really had a lovely time in Italy and I tried to study the culture and learn from it. I can clearly see that the Italians have a different culture from us in very many ways.

Age and energy and health!

Take care and live longer!

Today is January 17th and we celebrate one of our daughters 22nd birthday. She is in the beginning of her career, studying economics and she aims for a life as successful business woman. She had a “youth company” as a course during High School and was very successful as entrepreneur. She even got an award and some money as prize for her efforts.

All this hard work had a price for her to pay. Even when you are young and healthy there are limits of what you can expose your mind and body for.
