Möller's Dobbel / Möller's tran

Hello there!!!

Today I am inspired to talk about something very "typical norwegian". And that is the aliment complement "Möller's dobbel" - "your allié to hold you healthy and increase your immune system".

So this aliment complement is taken by the majority, even all Norwegian people. They take it from the age of 4 weeks after birth and it is something they take during all their life.

It is sold such as liquid "Möller's Tran" or as capsule "Möller's dobbel". It is a complement which is rich in vitamin A, D, and E.

From my experience the first time I tried the liquid one I almost went to the bathroom to throw up. It is disgusting for someone who has never tasted it. It smells strong like fish and it's oily so you basically feel like you are drinking "fish oil". And by the way the product is really made from fish oil. So you really feel it.

The other option is to take the capsule. That choice is definitely what I could recommend to people who want to try it for the first time. This one is test less and just goes fast in the mouth and quickly swallowed with water.

As I heard from Norwegians it really help them having a better immune system and contribute positively to the child development. So why not? I may be tempted to try it in a near future (even if there is no hope it will help me gaining some inches, haahha ). It will be just for the experience of trying and maybe improving my immune system, specially in winter time.

Norwegian Winter 2015

This winter as the previous ones is going to be cold, cold, very cold.

I already feel the cold going through my bones. It is not a joke it really feels that way. 

More the days goes and more we loose sun time. It is getting slowly darker and the days are being limit to 5 hours day time. Well the rest of day is still there but it is just darkness.

Basically days are starting at 9 and ending up around 3pm. So you wake up and go to your occupations still night time and when you come back home around 4pm it is already night. 

But no, it's not night, you still have the "day" time. So do something you like doing: like going to this coffee place you like with some friends, or go to the gym, or do anything but not just stay home the whole rest of the day.

My first year, it wasn't that obvious, for me night meant : home and chill. So my first winter 2014 I basically was staying home and doing nothing meaningful. That was….not the way. At least not that much "norwegian way". Norwegian way is: you get out from work around 4pm, you have dinner/middag and then you go out again to your occupations (some even go from work straight to their others activities: sport; other hobbies).

And they are home around 8/9pm, watch their favorite movie/serie and go to bed around 10/11pm.

So this winter 2015 I have decided to live the norwegian way: after my day occupations, I keep on living the day: go to the gym and come home around 7/8pm. And for now I kinda feel the good effects of that rhythm. You feel less "eaten" by the cold and darkness of the winter.

Peace&Love
