In the year 2022 an obesity crisis in unfolding right in front of us. Millions of people across the globe are overfed but undernourished, meaning they have such easy access to food but often times it is prepackaged, calorie dense, and overly processed foods. There are two things that humans can do every day to fuel their bodies, minds, and souls- eat healthy and move your body. Surprisingly, this is easier said than done. A lot of us have this mentality that eating healthy has to be this complicated, expensive, and boring process and that is not the case! What we choose to consume day in and day out will affect your overall health. Whether it is positively or negatively, well that is up to you!

 

Ahhhh, spring is finally here!! I don't know if it was the gloomy weather here in Sweden, the pandemic and not wanting to go out, adjusting to life with a baby, or a combination of all three- but this winter felt really long! I don't know about you, but I feel such a shift in my mood and energy as soon as spring rolls around and the days become brighter and longer. I love seeing the flowers and trees begin to bloom, and everything just starts to feel fresh and vibrant again.  I thought in today's post I would split things up into a few categories and "springify" them. I know springify isn't a word, but you'll see what I mean as you continue reading.

I know I JUST had a blog post about how I was going to be more consistent with my posts, but I have a really good reason for not having posted anything in the last couple weeks... I had a baby!!!

I still have a lot of ideas and posts to share with my Pop Nourish fam in the near future- but for the time being I am going to be focusing on my new baby girl and my journey into motherhood.

This quote is one that really stuck with me when I first began working towards my Holistic Nutritionist Certificate. It is so true, not only with eating but for many other things in life where people want to make a change, but fear ultimately holds them back.

Happy Friday, everyone! Going into the weekend I thought I would share a post highlighting my four most used kitchen gadgets! I think after reading this post they will become essentials in your kitchen too, if they aren't already! Of course there are bigger kitchen items such as Crock Pots, coffee machines, or blenders that make our lives easier and most people probably find essential, but today I wanted to show some love to these *in my opinion* underrated and sometimes forgotten gadgets!

For a lot of you, August typically means back to school time! Whether your child is going to be in a classroom full time, doing a hybrid situation, or learning from home- it is important that they are being fueled with healthy and nourishing foods!

Of course, these are just my ideas and there are a million more out there but I hope this post can help as you and your kiddos get back into a school year routine!
