I've been living in northern sweden for a few years now and spend lots of time in Stockholm which is constantly ranked in the top 10 for healthiest, happiest, and city with the best quality of life in the world. I also saw that one documentary that show Sweden is being hit less hard by the obesity epidemic that other countries are facing. So how do the citizens of Sweden capital Stockholm have it so much easier to live healthy lives, especially compared to us in North America. Lets explore it today!
We all know the stereotype of Swedish people being the most beautiful people on earth, we picture tall blonde athletic people. Now it's a big diverse country, HOWEVER I will say the stereotype lives up. After staying up late one night binging RUclips documentary's I was watching one about obesity around the world and noticed that as obesity spread, it seemed to impact sweden less...which got me thinking. Amongst our more sedentary lives and constant fast food commercials, how has Sweden citizens managed to stay lean athletic and healthy? I've noticed a few difference between sweden and North America, and here's what I think is causing this. Enjoy!

What city should I do next? 🤔
Oslo! ❤
Göteborg 🙌🏼
Zurich!!
Phoenix
Come to Uppsala, we can show you around
I speak for the entire nation of Sweden when I say that we are so grateful to have you ❤️
I’m so flattered 🥲🫶
@@KeltieOConnor ❤️
Yess I agree. Välkommen 😊
Definitely, I love your Sweden content
Don't forget to drive out all the non-white immigrants though esp the Moslem ones (Sarcasm in case there's a gap in understanding).
I spent a month in Sweden when I came for a summer school. They gave us a month gym membership with a lots of classes. It ıs the reason why I started going to gym afterwards. I was walking to the classes and was eating a healthy bowl as lunch, it was cheapest and most accessible thing to eat. The student loft was so practable as well, I cooked a lot - which I haven’t done much in my dorm during the university. We partied almost every night during the month. I lost 5kg in that month without trying and spent the most peaceful month of my life. I missed it so much. No surprise that people happier and healtier there.
if you don’t mind telling me, what was the name of your summer school? it sounds rly good
I swear your editing improves more and more every week, I can tell all of the effort you put in to making them the best you can, it doesn't go unnoticed queen thank you for your amazing content always
Thank you so much for noticing! Really having fun getting better at it this year 🥹🫶
I wish the US was more like Sweden when it comes to work/life balance. You made an excellent point that if you're "just trying to survive, you won't be able thrive".
Once again, it's an amazing video, and your happiness shines through ❤
So happy you enjoyed!! I hope that work life balance eventually gets out here as well
Stockholm is one of the places I'd consider moving to. I have a relative who lives in Berlin, Germany. When I visit her, I sometimes visit other European cities. The quality of life is like night and day compared to the United States. Their culture(s) is definitely focused on the well-being of people. The western world really needs to take note.
Stockholm is amazing, and one of the few places I'm thinking of relocating to at some point. Especially the work-life balance - you're expected to go to work between 8 and 10 AM and leave after 8 hours. And have a lunch _break_ not work while you eat. Also, the vacations are long and you are expected to take them. You won't be punished for taking time off to recollect and rest.
Er, Europe and Scandinavia are the Western world.
Totally agree, im currently living in Germany and planning to move to Scandinavia 😊
Yeah haha Europe IS the Western World (maybe moreso than you guys...)
In regards to vacation, most Nordic countries it's actually legally required that employees take their vacations, as the employer can get serious legal trouble/fines if they don't. Most people get 4-5 weeks a year, and it's encouraged to take 3 weeks back to back in summer during June/July which is called "common vacation" or similarly named in each country.
My fiance is always talking about how he has vacation time he has to use up for the year. You'd never find that in America, companies advertise PTO and paid vacation as a job benefit. I love knowing that I can see my fiance for weeks at a time when I visit bc he HAS to take time off and use it up for the year. His employer tells him he's GOT to take vacation time bc he hasn't used enough.
Actually by law you have a minimum of 5 weeks a year with a right to 4 weeks in a row during summer.
some companies even offer 6 weeks of vacation (30 days) 🙌
@@Luckygirlme111 Some even more + If you work for the state, city, county aso you get more days every year from 40.
If you work in swedish military you have a minumum of 28 days (under 31) then 31 days and from 40 you get 35 days/7weeks.
This morning I hade to call in sick. Only word from my Boss was: Come back when you feel you can.
“It’s so hard to worry about your health/eat healthy when you are just trying to survive and get to the next day”. The story of my life…I appreciate this acknowledgement, I feel less alone.
tip about the crosswalk boxes; if they're lit up, they're active already, you don't need to press the button! some are actually constantly active :)
Keltie is slowly convincing me to move to Sweden 😂❤️
Heheheh LOVE IT
Keltie!!!!! This new series is fantabulous and soul-nourishing and glorious! I hope you hear this often, for it is the truth. 🎉
I’m currently helping my mother expand her preschool in northern CA (metropolitan gal at heart, living in the burbs, no likey.) and your videos seriously brighten my day and remind me of where I’m heading.
You’re amazing!
Thank you. ♥️🦇♥️
I’m so happy you’re enjoying it!! It’s nourishing my soul making 🥲🤔 Such a good daughter helping her!! Good luck with the expansion 🫶
You are an absolute gem, and as a Swede i'm happy to have you represent us in these topics! You're great, keep up the amazing work!
Just amazing to see how different countries work, being in America. I love to see the differences and how much slower and mindful Sweden is, my mind cant imagine it.
I'm a European and seeing people surprised at the most normal things for us (like the tap water thing!) makes me appreciate where I live a lot more!
@words-island1011 That does makes sense. Each country is different.
"Are you a psychopath? Of course you get 2 duvets!" Laughed out loud at that! 😂
GIRL, I've watched you for so long and I absolutely love your videos, you've inspired me so much in my fitness journey!! I'm born and raised in Stockholm and this video made me so happy, its so surreal to see so many familiar places in your video :)
Oh my gosh this is so useful!!! Thank you so much, im going to try to incorporate more of these ideas/habits where I can. All the gratitude awesome lady! Thank you ❤
Everyone in Sweden drink tap water since it's as good as bottled water and we don't even think about the fact that drinking water in many other countries is something you have to buy and also plan to always have at hand 😊
i just discovered your yt channel a couple minutes ago, and i‘m obsessed w ur positive attitude and healthy habits! as a student athlete, im always looking for new healthy habits to incorporate during on/off szn! can’t wait to see more vids!
I've watch many of your videos and i like how you are now pivoting to this style of commentary instead of vlogging. It makes your content more relatable and informative. I learnt so much! Keep up the good work, i look forward to seeing more of your videos, and i agree with many others that you are one of the few creators i actually watch the whole video too ! ❤
Keltie recent follower within the last month or so. I absolutely love your content you’re so entertaining. Only imagining as hard as this video was to make it meant a lot. So happy you’re still with and where you are now. You are an absolute queen, funny as hell and absolutely beautiful. Thank you for being you!
yo creía que el hecho de subir contenido seguido no era tan importante, pero me pone realmente feliz y me hace quererte más y apreciar más tu contenido el hecho de que subas tan seguido y de tan buena calidad!
Loved loved loved this! We fly from Glasgow Scotland to Stockholm in April - this was such a good reminder of what we loved the first time we visited! Please visit Glasgow next! We have lots of fitness activities and Park run! Thank you x
We had a lovely holiday in Stockholm few years back, we caught the ferry to Aland Island, a real party boat! I just love Scandinavia, hoping one day to go and see the Northern Lights. ❤
I love you got to experience that!! It’s high on my bucket list to see them one day
@@KeltieOConnor❤
I've been a subscriber for years, so for me it's so much fun that you are here in sweden now, making videos :D
Love your channel! Fun and entertaining!! Thanks!
I have followed you for many years and it’s amazing that you are now making videos in my country in a city I have lived in. Just crazy when you think about it how you ended up in little Sweden 🇸🇪🙈
Loved the video!
My first trip there was 2022 and I fell in love with it. If only it wasn't dark most of the year. 😪 It was perfect. Vibe. Food. Activities, etc. I need to go back!
Been hooked on your content lately!!! Amazing job❤
Thank you for this video Keltie! I love you!!!!! 🎉
Your drive and energy is infectious 🧗♂️🏋️♀️
Thank you for posting such information info....Brilliant❤
So nice to meet you at lyko! Your yt channel keep smashing it🔥😍😍
Keltie, this is your best video yet ❤
Loved this video!
Definitely agree with the 2 duvet life!! My partner is a tornado burrito when he sleeps--he is literally airborn when he flips from one side to another-- so we *have* to have our own blankets (I'm also in Vancouver)
this whole video just energized me
So fun to hear absout the city I live in and grew up in from someone that's not from here and how you look at our lifestyle, etc :D
Your video almost made me buy the flight tickets to Sweden immediately. Then I remembered I’m saving for mortgage. 😂 But as soon as I get some extra money I’m flying back to Sweden for sure. I spent a month in Lund and walked around Malmö a lot as well and I just fell in love. For good two months I was convinced my boyfriend and I would move there and I actually had been even looking into the local real estate market and picked a few apartments for us to move into. 😅 I’ve been to Stockholm, too, but somehow the southern Sweden was just it for me. Plus, I appreciated how close it was to Denmark. I come from Prague, Czechia and we do have some healthy habits common with Scandinavia but just the mentality of Scandinavian people blows me away every time I’m there. Thank you for reminding me!
I love this series, I'm so here for this series. Also you got me wanting to go to Sweden something fierce now 😊
I’m so happy you’re enjoying it!!
I also think the Swedish government should pay her for all this promotion 😂😂
The way my eyes popped out me head when you sipped water from the faucet. I'm outside Atlanta. I would never. LOL
I just adore your videos and thoughts and vibe. I hope you have a great day/week/year/life 🤍🤍
Great video Keltie!
Hey Keltie! Love this video and learn more about how different places live. There is so much overlap between urban planning principles and the active community ☺️ hope you are doing well!
Your videos this year so far have been 👌😍
Can’t wait to watch this one!
- From a fellow Canadian who now lives in rainy England 😢
Music to my ears!! I’m loving the new series so much ☺️
As a fellow gloomy city living individual, sending you a little ☀️
To add onto the sidewalks (which, btw, rarely end in some nonsensical way), the city is very well lit. Something one can take for granted until you visit a city like, say, Strasbourg, which seems to half light or even barely bother to light many of their streets including the main ones.
And with holidays, your employer by law (unless you have a collective agreement that says otherwise) has to let you take 4 weeks off in a row during June through August.
Nicely presented healthy tips from Sweden.
I llooovvee this series it's so good!!!
YES to two duvets!! I’m from a two duvet country myself and I’m always plunged into a deep sense of despair when I have to share a blanket. I cannot do it.
I’m a hands off kinda girl too. We cuddle up to the sleeping moment and then I roll away, taking the blankets and I cuddle my fur baby 🐾!
I NEED those blankets in my life! 16:10
I’m a PT and find your videos relevant…. I enjoy them! Also, on a side note, you are one of the only content creators that I can watch the entire video 😁
One of the best compliments I could get thank you!!
I really agree with this comment. I very rarely watch entire videos, but yours - always watch the entire videos.
Nice to hear that you like Stockholm😊 Im born in Stockholm and i love to live here👍🏻
Loved this! Thank you my dear!
Glad you enjoyed!
Hi Keltie!
About massage benefits from you emplyer in Sweden.
Most people get about 3000 sek/year in "health benefit" and you can choose what to do with that money, tho what you choose must be on the ok list. You can choose to buy massage or a gym membership, PT-hours, classes at a yoga shala, runningshoes, a laughing class aso. the last few years also tickets to the theater since cultural experiences is also concidered as health beneficial.
My partner allways choose to put his money to classic swedish massage and gets about 5 sessions a year "for free" . As a freelancer I don´t get any health benefits from work...
This is amazing! 🥹
@@oceanswave Yes its a good thing...
We also have a minimum of 5 weeks payed holiday a year (if full time employed, many have 6 or 7) and 480 days payed leave when you get a child (90 of them reserved for each parent and the rest you divede as you please).
In many ways Sweden is great.
❤️🥰❤️What a great video! It would have been so cool if you could do this in other countries as well🤩😄🙌
Thanks for the video I am traveling to Stockholm in March again and this video gives good tips for eating :)
Enjoy!!! Get all the cinnamon buns 🤤
Absolutely love your contenttttt!!! ❤
I love that you love it!!!
For me, nothing could offset the gloom of so much dark and cold. I need sun, light, warmth, and flowers all year.
It is nice to have seasons.
As a swede this makes me touched to see and hear your appreciation of Swedish system and habites.❤️
And my father grow up in Sundsvall. I have not been to Sundsvall for about 15 years now, but I used to love go down hill skiing at the loop close to the city. And enjoyed ice sculptures in the city winter time.
❤
Stockholm has easy accessibility to nearly any kind of sport. They have a sportspark in Ladugård which is packed with dog walkers, runners, skiers, football, frisbee golf etc. They also have a lot of family happenings which gets kids into sports and activity at a very young age.
Also, next time you're in town you have to go try the walnut bun at Fabrique. And maybe one of Jafar's donuts on Drottningsgatan (phenomenal, freshly baked). 😻
Keltie I just have to say your hair is looking so luscious! We need an updated hair care routine soon ❤❤
hahaha I just love your attitude 😂 I NEVER understand how couples can sleep with just one blanket. I am not sharing my blanket with anyone! 😂 We recently also got separate mattresses (still one bedframe though so we‘re not sliding away from each other) and the sleep quality is SO much better 😴
PS-I signed up for AG1-gonna try it!!
Mahalo for getting us extra 5 packs!🌺
Hi just wondering did you have to put a code in as I clicked the link but there was no offer at all cx
Love keltie O'Connor id like to see you do a video on the red light therapy and mushroom coffee ☕😊❤
I adore you! Such a ray of sunshine❤
As a Swede I have learned a lot of things from this video but I would say that most gyms are very pricy since it is available to bike, walk, and or run for exercise because of the city structure and walkability.
More Stockholm / Sweden content please! 🥰
Loveeee this!!💘
(and now I just really need to go to Sweden xx)
Gréât vidéo!! lived in Sodermalm for 6 months - in the summer! I worked a corporate job and we had fresh fruit - for free! Everyday! And massage every week - for free! They explained also that every office has to comply with rules stipulating how much light there should be (a lot) and sitting positions, chairs desks, everything was tip top. And standing desks ( this was in 2003 when they weren’t a thing yet). It’s only recently I understand why they all stood up after lunch. Seriously healthy place. It’s the place I took up running after hating it for so long. The healthy bug definitely but me there. I lived in Paris straight after. A totally different experience 😅
The healthy food in Sweden looks amazing! Would be great if you could get more in depth regarding average incomes, rent prices etc…into the nitty gritty
Man ,the work culture in the U.S. needs to step up. Or maybe a better phrase is chill out and shift gears. Rest really is vital for us as people but we're discouraged from it for the sake of being/seeming productive. For all the advances we're making in society, you'd think we'd take after Stockholm's example by now. Maybe some states are, but I don't know. Anyway, great video, Keltie!
I literally just commented the same thing! The work/life balance here is 💩. If you're sick they still expect you to come in. Most places make you feel guilty for taking a vacation YOU EARNED. If I was able to move to Sweden I'd be on the next flight 😂
I hope it does eventually change! Much better to give employees time to recover and relax so they can perform 100%… vs people working non stop for “productivity” when they’re all zombies at 50% 🥲
Studied abroad in Stockholm and def my favorite city I've been to! This made me miss it even more!
Watching Philip Defranco while eating is awesome, I do it when I'm eating lunch LOL
Welcome to my home city! Would be so cool to meet you if you ever come back here. Maybe you could have a meet-up with people in Stockholm, that would be so much fun. We could go to the amusement park Gröna Lund or something ❤
Happy Family Day long weekend, Keltie!❤
Hope you have a great weekend Ervin!
You too, Keltie!
Loved this video! I Live in Stockholm and am from a small town south of Sundsvall ( where I went to Uni) 😃 but I also grew up in Bellingham,WA about 1hrs from Vancouver too (long story)😅 Anyway I hope you have a wonderful time here in Sweden 🇸🇪
Maybe it’s where I live but we have gyms really nice like that in the USA too (I live in Florida) and the prices are super reasonable. I pay about 35$/month for a great one. I love the amount of walking and nature there! Gorgeous
Love it!! thanks for making my day, Saturday after Saturday! 😍
Does the AG1 link not work for European purchases?🧐
Your vids are just insane !
Can't believe you were in Hötorget next to my work door !!
Love your videos, and I will be in Stockholm next month, do you have any recommendations for running?
We discovered the 2-duvet thing on a trip to Iceland - and have never looked back!
Oh I love this. But also this is driving me nuts, what is the name of the song at the 5 minute mark????? But thank you for the video! I love all of it.
The north of Spain (and Spain in general) has one of the greatest life expectancies in the world, competing with Japan. The way of living in the little town in the north is amazing! You should visit it if you can
I love your healthy habits in Sweeden videos and gotta say that many of these things are probably common in Europe in general (except the vaping thing😂). I went to Copenhagen once and I loved it, I'm looking forward to visit Sweeden someday
What documentary did you watch? Love this video btw!
Stockholm even has Ludosport (my sport of choice). They really do seem to have all of the different exercise options.
My best friend lives in Stockholm and it’s such an awesome place. I think what your saying it so true of Sweden from my own experience and what my friend says 🥰
The thumbnail though 💙💙
Come do the Seattle Marathon in November!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
It looks amazing there!! Can you plan us a mini weekend retreat to come visit? 😁
Oh wow, my husband and I do separate top blankets. He’s always hot, I’m always cold. Works out great! 😂
What an amazing video - now I wanna go to Stockholm!
I hope you get to go here one day!
Small clarification: most jobs don't come specifically with massages for benefit, you get an allowance of around 3000-5000SEK (~$300-500 USD) per year which can be spent on any kind of health or physical activity. For example, gym membership, massage, spa day, ski passes, etc.... You just can't use it to buy physical items.
Alot of companies aloud the health money to go towards running/walking shoes nowadays, it´s loosen up alot.
You can also choose to buy cultural activities now, like a seasonal theater pass, a membership with a cinematic club aso.
Place to be at 30’th of April at 18:00 local time: Finland, Helsinki, Havis Amanda fountain. Dress in to warm but funny outfit. Bring your champagne 🍾 with you. The spring is here!
Hi from a fellow Edmontonian! I gotta say, I think our tap water is actually pretty good! ❤
I do agree! I drink from the tap in Canada and honestly love the taste ☺️ but Sweden’s is just a little better ;) but Canada is still in the top in the world IMO!
Allot of these things we have in Australia, my husband and I have seperate bedding too and it’s great man 😊
13:25 lmao 😂>
Best thing about snus in my opinion is that it doesn't disturb anyone. I remember back in the 90s in copenhagen, everyone smoking inside fast food restaurants and stuff, it was really something else.
If anything, this just shows that environment has such a direct effect on health. Half of these habits are not actually habits, they’re environmental factors that are not in ones individual control. Location is everything.
Finally someone! It's such a stable first world country like come on
I opted for separate blankets for me and my partner because SOMEONE (him) is a blanket hog and I needed sleep more than I needed a "neat" looking bed. lol. I highly recommend. But I might opt for two twin sized duvets so I can actually make the bed and make it look neater. Someday. But for now, we just both have our own regular sized blanket/duvet on a king sized bed. haha
Come to Uppsala, we can show you around
HA! So it was Sidsjön you had some footage of a while back! I knew i recognized that place! =)
