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 possible way.
We want to offer products with pure, natural ingredients that are produced in a fair and sustainable way to the greatest extent possible.
We also want to share as much information and knowledge as we can about how we all can maintain "long-term health" and live in harmony with ourselves and the world. Studies on 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 upon with you.
1. Community
Something that all long-lived population groups 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-paced and individualistic time. One way to socialize is to work together either on daily tasks or in a group project, for example, it could be gardening 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 are contributing. What can you do today that gives you a little extra "social nourishment"? When do you experience community?
2. Sense of Purpose
A sense of purpose is often strongly connected to a sense of community, perhaps most importantly to the feeling that we contribute something to the community, that we get to make a difference. Whether we think of community as our immediate family, our city, or the entire human family on earth. In Japan, they have a word for this; "Ikigai", which can be simply translated as a person's "reason for being". Your Ikigai is something that brings you joy, feels natural to you, and that you find enjoyable to study, do, and contribute with. It doesn't have to be just one thing, but often there are one or two things that are in focus, that stand out. Have you taken time to consider what your Ikigai might be? How do you want to contribute?
3. Movement in Everyday Life
Sweating at the gym or on the running track has its benefits, but there are also other ways to strengthen yourself through movement. Some of the world's longest-living 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, jumping 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 approach can be to practice something with a fun goal, for example, learning to do a handstand, juggle, or walk a tightrope. Moving together with others provides both an experience of health and community. How do you like to move?
4. Rest and Recovery
We need to ensure we get rest and slow down regularly to live a long and happy life. Getting good sleep is important, but other forms of recovery such as spending time in nature, reading a good book, enjoying a sauna, getting a massage, meditating, contemplating, or socializing with good friends are equally important for the soul's recovery and inspiration. How do you recover? What makes you relax and feel peaceful?
5. Nutrition
There are endless theories about what constitutes a good and nutritious diet, but there is no diet that suits everyone. However, they all have a common denominator; namely natural and nutrient-dense food without artificial additives. Beyond eating a toxin-free and nutritious diet, according to most nutrition experts, we need to add concentrated nutrition in the form of supplements to support our bodies. Throughout history, humans have used herbs and various highly valued foods to enhance health and prevent disease.In our modern time when soils are depleted and less nutrient-rich 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.
You can learn more about why you might need dietary supplements. Finding the right products can be difficult. At Glimja, we've 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: Essential vitamins and minerals in concentrated form. A bit of everything to cover daily needs alongside a nutrient-dense diet.
Omega 3: Almost all Westerners need to supplement with this essential fatty acid.
Friendly gut bacteria: Our defense is located partly in the stomach and is controlled by the balance in our "microbiomes" – our gut bacteria. If digestion isn't functioning properly, everything else we do for our immune system will be less effective. How do you view the food you eat? Do you consume additional nutrients?
Are you worth the best?
