Grandparents Day - 13 September

by Chaga Health September 12, 2020

Grandparents Day!

The purpose of the day is to honor grandparents, give them an opportunity to show love for their children's children, and help children become aware of the strength, information, and guidance older people can offer.

At Chaga Health Australia, we are celebrating our beautiful grandmothers.

Great grandmother Anu-Tiiu is 82 years young and loves her family (1 daughter, 2 granddaughters and 2 great granddaughters) more than anything in this world.

She does not like to cook (although her family can attest that she can make the most amazing patties out of any vegetable) or clean and would much rather spend her time reading. Lately her favorites have been stories about historic people and artists. Besides reading, she also loves knitting and is quite talented at it.

She spent 20 years singing in a choir and worked as an engineer for most of her life.

She has been a keen traveler all her life, has visited 33 countries and thinks her favorite places (besides her beloved home in Estonia, of course) are Siberia, Pompeii in Italy, pyramids in Egypt, Peru, Great Wall of China. She has visited Australia three times (one of which was a 5-week road trip halfway around the continent in a campervan!) and waiting patiently for the borders to re-open so she could visit again. She goes to gym every week and still helps out her daughter with her business as much as she can.

Great grandmother Asta (83 years young) has spent all of her life living in rural area and has been engaged in agriculture.

She has contributed in household, farming and community. Although worked as a bookkeeper, she has been really passionate about cookery, literature, singing in local choirs, handicrafts, gardening and healthy living.

One of her great habits is waking up when the rooster crows that is followed by Nordic walking for promoting her physical activity and overall wellbeing.

Great grandfather, who was a lifelong partner (more than 50 years) and support, passed away 10 years ago that made Asta to take care all of the large household by herself. Luckily, connected very closely with her family (2 daughters, 4 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren) she is never alone!

And today, she is cheering with Immuno Elixir and mumbles that at age of 83 years she also has an opportunity to be an advertising face.

Life is an adventure and her wise words ask everybody to be health conscious to enjoy longevity and be able to live happily.

People say its age that makes us old, but we believe its our state of mind that us old. Age is just a number!

Wishing all the beautiful grandparents all the health and happiness in the world.
