Looking after personal wellness
Contexto cultural
The concept of 'KRAM' factors (Kost, Rygning, Alkohol, Motion) is the official framework used by the Danish Health Authority to teach citizens how to 'passe på deres helbred.' Winter bathing (vinterbadning) is a popular, albeit extreme, way Danes believe they 'passer på deres helbred' by boosting the immune system. Danish employers often provide 'frugtordninger' (fruit schemes) and standing desks as a way to help employees 'passe på deres helbred' during work hours. It is considered very polite to tell someone 'Pas på dig selv' (Take care of yourself) when they are going through a tough time or a period of illness.
The Reflexive Rule
Always check who the subject is. If it's 'Jeg', use 'mit'. If it's 'Du', use 'dit'. If it's 'Han/Hun', use 'sit'.
Don't forget 'på'!
Without 'på', the sentence 'Jeg passer mit helbred' sounds like you are babysitting your health or making it fit into a box.
