Wine & Dine

Izaak Walton English Writer and author of The Compleat Angler said “Look to your health; and if you have it, praise god, and value it next to a good conscience; for health is the second blessing that we mortals are capable of; a blessing that money cannot buy.”

Wellness is an excellent feeling that results in maintaining our health with low cholesterol diets and recipes that not only target the taste buds, but also keeps a watchful eye on their impact on our health. Apart from conventional allopathic medicine, a knowledge and awareness on alternative therapies such as homeopathy, acupuncture, Atlanta acupuncture and spinal fitness are imperative for good health. Atlanta acupuncture for spinal injury is one such example for alternative therapy amidst a plethora of therapies available in the field of medicine.

A story goes thus. A psychiatrist was explaining the ill effects of alcohol to an audience filled with alcoholics and to demonstrate the effects he put a small worm in the alcohol beaker when it died. Asked about the moral of the story, a wise man in the crowd replied that boozing is good since it can kill the worms in the stomach. But it’s for die-hard alcoholics. Limited doses of wine may do some good. Especially the combination ‘Wine & Dine’…Want to take a cue from drinking! To have Wine and then to dine appears to be the best combination – virtually! If studies by Danish scientists are any indication go by. It has been reported that wine takers tend to buy healthy eatables such as more fruits, vegetables, Olives, low fat cheese than beer drinkers who are prompted to buy the opposite- high calorie foods. The study has been conducted by the National Institute of Public Health, Copenhagen and the results are there to see. But nothing can deter the high spirits of Oktoberfest where gallons of beer are gulped in a moment. Right!

Keep Guessing: Where is Oktoberfest held?
