BREAD
EAT HEALTHY. LIVE BETTER. BAKE BREAD.
Now that you’re thinking about ways to improve your physical health and well being, we want to invite you to consider some nutritional information to help you attain your health goals.
There is no hiding the fact that bread is a regular part of most peoples diet despite it becoming a controversial dietary option. This has much to do with the potential spike in blood sugar levels that occur when you eat it. Despite this, most people continue to make it a part of their daily meal plan.
But if you consider the pursuit of artisan sourdough bread baking, you will provide your body with all-important fiber along with enhancing digestion all while minimizing that nasty spike in blood sugar levels that occurs with commercially produced bread

What is Stretch N Fold Fitness?The Stretch~n~Fold concept comes, first, from the education I received while sitting in my home during the first 2 years of COVID , talking incessantly to my poor dog, JAZMIN, who has since grown deaf, (or so she feigns). In that period, I have developed a knack for sourdough bread baking The process entails stretching and folding the dough. Well, do that a couple a hundred times and your mind begins to wander. It was NOT a huge step to see the similarities in what I was doing with the dough and what the average person does ALL DAY!

How did this program come about?During my first 2 years of retirement and because of my own personal orthopedic struggles, I had delved into the world of online stretching programs. (there’s A LOT of them). I found some very good instructors and was able to improve some of my symptoms along the way. With the help of my partner Anne, we worked to develop a functional routine of home exercises that we could do ourselves and one that we felt was possible for most people I have experienced significant changes to my body, particularly, my balance and my flexibility at the hips and legs.

What do I need to perform the exercise class effectively?All you really need is a yoga mat, or some comfortable mat that you can move around on, stand, sit, lie down. We also STRONGLY recommend a pair of “yoga block” to improve symmetry while performing the routine. For a ZOOM class, a laptop, iPad, or phone will be necessary.
