How Our Attitude toward Aging Impacts Physical and Mental Health with Malin Svensson

Every time I went back to Sweden, my brothers and I, my sisters as well, we would sit down and brainstorm, what can I bring over to America that will be very successful? And one of those discussions was one of my brothers who is a doctor who has started to do stavgang, which in English is Nordic walking. He would put his poles on his bike and he would bike out to a hilly area, because in southern Sweden where I'm from, we don't have too many hills. It's pretty flat. And he would use those poles and just feel very invigorated and strong and just loved it. And my brother-in-law knew the company Excel, which was the very first company that made Nordic walking poles back in the '90s.
