Wine...Good for you

Wine has many more benefits then first believed by Hippocrates. Hippocrates believed wine to be good for disinfecting wound, mix medication with, alleviate pain during childbirth and for symptoms of diarrhea. Hippocrates was ahead of his time but there were other benefits that we would learn later. While researching this topic I found about 20 benefits. None included increasing ability to dance which I think is my greatest benefit. Some medically researched benefits include reducing depression and preventing many illnesses including colon cancer, breast cancer, dementia, blinding diseases, liver disease and type 2 diabetes.
Thank you wine for making me a better dancer but also benefiting me in so many ways.

Brown rice

As a true southerner it took me a long time to embrace Brown rice over white. Not until recently did I actually understand all of the benefits of Brown rice. Brown rice includes more fiber than white rice. It also is rich in antioxidants, manganese (helps synthesize fats), and helps stabilize blood sugar levels.  As I make changes in my lifestyle to become more heart healthy I realize how easy it is to make these simple changes. I look forward to discovering more staples to a healthy lifestyle.

3 Goals

My top 3 goals to achieve on my Health Kwest journey are:
1.  Weight loss. My overall goal is 70 pounds. Hopefully HK will get me close to my goal
2.  Feel better. With weight loss and exercise I know this will happen.
3.  Be fit. I am tired of being worn out after minimal effort.
I KNOW I can achieve these goals--it just takes time and motivation--I have both.

I Have A Dream

I have a dream to be a more healthy me. I want to feel better about myself and look better in my clothes. I want to be able to play with my kids without getting tired so easily. I want to fit into clothes I haven't worn in years. I want to be able to live a long and healthy life. I am a strong person and I know my dream will come true.

Day 5

First off I have to say Happy Valentine's Day to everyone. Secondly I need to tell everyone that this is my first blog...EVER.
My Genghis Grill Health Kwest task for today is to write a short and sweet blog of the top 5 reasons why I love GG. How easy!
Until I figure out this blog stuff I will keep it simple.
1.  The huge selection of fresh food to pick from. Veggies, protein, seasonings, sauces, starches. Oh my goodness how could it get any better.
2.  The healthy choices to pick from.
3.  The signature bowls
4.  The desserts and appetizers. Even though I will not be partaking in these for the next 55 days!
5.  The super sweet and supportive staff. They make it a joy to go in every day!
