Welcome to my Blog!
My name is Annina Pajala. I am a Registered Nurse from Central Finland studying for my Masters in Digital Health at Savonia UAS. I was born and raised in Ontario, Canada. I have basically grown up along with the progression of the digitalised world as we know it today. Digital environments are something quite natural to me and I’m very excited to learn more about the structure and design behind digitalised working environments.
Lately, the potential of digitalised environments has become increasingly evident and mainstream. Throughout the current pandemic, people have become evermore digitally connected and increasingly aware of the potential in digital networks. In the past few years, I have witnessed many people succeed as influencers on social media. People are increasingly interested in finding and following their inspiration on social media from real people and in real time.
Personally, I am passionate about nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. In 2019, I began reading books about the anti-inflammatory diet. From reading I was able to gain knowledge about the science and history behind our modern western diet. This very informative and disheartening information provided me a basis on which I made a decision to make lifestyle changes. These changes included improving nutritional and exercise habits. However, I soon found it increasingly difficult to maintain these changes as I faced challenges finding healthier alternatives to our unhealthy but culturally important mainstream comfort foods. When I finally made an Instagram account in late 2019, I was amazed and relieved to find I wasn’t the only one who was passionate about the anti-inflammatory diet and healthy lifestyle. I began following doctors and dieticians that share scientifically researched information, advice, recipes, and products. I soon found that it was much easier for me to stick to my healthy habits when I was daily reminded and inspired by those who support and share a similar lifestyle.
Currently, I have my own Instagram page where I share my own recipes, advice and inspiration for a lifestyle I am passionate about. If you are interested in learning more please follow me @homemade.keto.mama on Instagram. I will be posting about my lifestyle on this blog as well.
I would love to hear from you! Please let me know what you are interested in learning about a healthier lifestyle.
