Talk/lecture with Berit Nordstrand

On Monday when I went into my gym to freeze my me membership as the pregnancy is telling me to stop the harder workouts now. 

I saw a poster about this talk at the local hotel, oh interesting.

Finally someone who is a doctor who focuses on the food before filling people with medicine.

So nice to listen to someone talk about food as passionate as I am about how I eat, and how I want to feed my family. Someone with a degree and years with this that is telling people yes you need to eat fat, illnesses are often caused by food intolerances. And you can eat your way in to a healthier and happier life.

I know a lot of people look at me funny when I talk about food. 

Trying to have my kid have a healthy diet, but having him in a barnehage that have a very different view.

Margarine on bread, extra skimmed milk with added vitamin-D.

Yes we need extra vitamin D, but our kids need fat, for their brains development. And also kids are outside several hours a day, and need less added compared to a grown up in an office job.

Oatmeal for lunches, yes ok.... Our old traditional oatmeal... But this also spikes our insulin levels.

So does the bread they get for breakfast, and all the sugar in yoghurt and yoghurt drinks.

I was very happy when she said that giving your kid biola ( a yoghurt drink here in Norway, that also gets it's added fiber from corn :( )with breakfast is the same sugar amount as pop.

Think about that one.

Kids are often on a sugar high to crash for a new sugar high to a new crash over and over again none day.

Can cause insulin resistance to type 2 diabetes.

Anyways enough about that for now, but I do believe we really need to help our kids into a heathier lifestyle. 

So thank you Berit for a wicked speech, hope I can help spread your word more.

Looking forward to read your book as I was just done an other book and was looking for something new to read

Now to my project of the day, Jonas asked for kombucha today out of the blue. So decided to pick that up again. Been thinking about it for a while, but I think I just over did the kombucha for a while and got tired of it. Silly me :(

So a couple of weeks now it will be all ready. 

Back to fermented foods.

Now sitting and reflecting about all the stuff I heard tonight. 

With a cup of warm fresh milk from the farm and honey. 

Yum!
