Our vision with Glimja is to make it easier for you to feel good and inspire you to take care of yourself in the best way.
- We want to offer products that have pure, natural ingredients and are produced as fairly and sustainably as possible.
- We also want to share as much information and knowledge as we can about how we can all be “long-term healthy” and live in harmony with ourselves and the world.
Studies of healthy and long-lived people around the world point to several important factors.
When it comes to lifestyle and health, we have written down five very important things we want to reflect on with you.
1. Community
Something all long-lived populations have in common is that they value friendship and family and spend time together with others.
It can be easy to forget how nourishing this is in our fast and individualistic time.
One way to socialize is to work together either on daily tasks or a group project, for example, growing food together or building a greenhouse together. This gives us both efficiency and quality of life while we feel a sense of belonging and that we get to contribute.
What can you do today that gives you a little extra “social nourishment”?
When do you experience community?
2. Sense of Meaning
A sense of meaning is often strongly connected to a sense of community and perhaps most to feeling that we contribute something to the community, that we get to contribute.
Whether we think of the word community as our small family, our city, or the entire human family on Earth.
In Japan, they have a word for this; “Ikigai,” which can simply be translated as a person’s “reason for being.” Your Ikigai is something that brings you joy and feels natural and fun to study, do, and contribute to.
It doesn’t have to be just one thing, but often there is one or two things in focus that stand out.
Have you taken the time to think about what your Ikigai might be?
How do you want to contribute?
3. Movement in Everyday Life
Sweating at the gym or on the running trail has its benefits, but there are also other ways to strengthen yourself through movement.
Some of the world’s longest-lived populations show that gentle and regular forms of movement in everyday life can also be the key to a long life.
Gardening, yoga, tai chi, qi gong, climbing trees, hopping on stones, playing with children or pets are examples of things we can do every day to take care of our bodies and minds in a gentle and long-term sustainable way.
Another way can be to train for something with a fun goal, for example, learning to do handstands, juggle, or walk a tightrope.
Moving together gives both a sense of health and community.

4. Rest and Recovery
We need to make sure to rest and unwind regularly to live a long and happy life.
Sleeping well is important, but other forms of recovery such as spending time in nature, reading a good book, taking a sauna, getting a massage, meditating, contemplating, or socializing with good friends are just as important for the soul’s recovery and inspiration.

5. Nutrition
There are endless theories about what makes a good and nutritious diet, but there is no diet that fits everyone.
However, they all have one thing in common: natural and nutrient-dense food without unnatural additives.
Besides eating a toxin-free and nutrient-rich diet, most nutrition experts agree that we need to add concentrated nutrition in the form of supplements to support our bodies.
Humans have always used herbs and various highly valued foods to enhance their health and prevent disease.
In our modern times, when soils are depleted and less nutritious while we are exposed to more stress from the environment in the form of unknown chemicals, exhaust fumes, and electromagnetic pollution, it becomes more important than ever to give ourselves the best possible nutrition to optimize our health.
With us, you can read more about why you might need dietary supplements.
Finding the right products can be difficult. At Glimja, we have made it our mission to gather the very best, purest, and most effective nutritional products under one roof, making it easier for you to make the right choices.
The most basic products that most people can benefit from supplementing with are:
- A green powder: Provides chlorophyll, phytonutrients, and antioxidants.
- A natural multivitamin–mineral: Essential vitamins and minerals in concentrated form. A little of everything to cover daily needs together with a nutrient-dense diet.
- Almost all Westerners need to supplement with this essential fatty acid.
- Our defense is partly in the stomach and controlled by the balance of our "microbiomes" – i.e., our gut bacteria. If digestion doesn’t work as it should, everything else we do for our immune system will work less well.
