To be healthy

🌍

文化背景

The 'pirts' (sauna) is the traditional Latvian way to ensure one stays 'vesels'. It involves heat, birch branches (slotiņas), and cold water. Latvians often use herbal teas (zāļu tējas) like linden flower or chamomile as a first line of defense to remain 'vesels'. The toast 'Uz veselību!' is mandatory at social gatherings, showing that health is the primary wish for everyone. There is a saying 'Veselā miesā vesels gars' (A healthy spirit in a healthy body), emphasizing the link between physical and mental health.
