Wine can enhance your quality of life if light or moderate sipping is experienced throughout your week or month. Here are a few things that will help your mind and body. Some items are simply nicer with wine.
- Turn a few pages and read to shield your brain from decline. Add your favorite wine and slowly sip while you enjoy stimulating your mind and your palate.
- Make a fruit salad of oranges, apples, grapes, and blueberries providing 5x the antioxidants matched with your favorite chilled Viognier or Sauvignon Blanc. It is a nice summer mid-day delight.
- Begin dinner with a cup of soup and you might eat 20% less of your main couse. Stick with broth-based soups. If you are weak and are treating yourself to a cream-based delight, an equally creamy Chardonnay or smooth Pinot Noir is a perfect pair.
- Eat smarter at parties that have a buffet and eat small amounts of different items. If you are pairing with wine, pick something universal and make sure your foods match as well. This will help with digestion.
- Express your gratitude. People who write about the things they are thankful for are optimistic and more satisfied with their lives. When you sit down to write those thank you notes, a glass of a light sipper and a small plate of cheese and crackers is a nice touch.
- Stretch those legs while sipping your favorite grape or blend. Sit in a chair and either pick up rolled up socks and make alternate piles or lift your legs, point your toes, hold for 5 counts and work up to 10, release your pointing, and lower legs. Do it 5 times notice your calves later.
- Focus on the positive and spend time with friends, laugh when you have the opportunity, and cultivate your curiousity. Add a little vino and life is enhanced just a tad.
