Los Angeles: YJ Community In Vino Veritas

YogaandFood_25925_portrait_160X120.jpg

Hopefully most of you have had a chance to join Yoga Journal's new Community feature and see what your fellow yogis are thinking, watching and reading. You can even start your own blog or join groups with those who have like-minded interests. Oh yeah, you can befriend me too. User name = sstukin.

Of course, the first group I joined was Yoga and Food, mostly because cooking has become a solace for me, on a par with my practice, but also something more tangible I can share with friends and family. Often, when I serve my culinary creations I also like to drink wine with my guests.

Imbibing can be a source of guilt for us yogis because some purists frown upon anything that may cloud awareness, but I was happy to see YJ community member Ms. Maui bring up the issue and inspire a string of comments to follow, including one from sironasky that said it all for me: In Vino Veritas.

Yes Jacqueline! How could I forget to mention the health benefits too? After all, the French love wine as much as they love saturated fats yet they still have lower rates of heart disease. The secret may be resveratrol, found in the skins and seeds of red grapes, which is high in anti-oxidants and believed to reduce bad cholesterol and prevent blood clots.
