Wellness Weekly 11: Preparing For Purim. Wink Wink.

By Idy Perl

Welcome back to Wellness Weekly! This week we’re discussing some important health topics to keep in mind as Purim comes closer.

 

Myth Buster

Myth: Wafer rolls may only be purchased for mishloach manos.

Truth: Wafer rolls, usually only featured in every mishloach manos you receive, are actually sold all year round. They can be bought, and eaten, literally at any time throughout the year. You’re welcome.

 

Healthy Hack

Honestly being healthy is overrated. You only live once; eat whatever junk food you want.

 

Wellness Wisdom

True wisdom is looking ahead and preparing for the future. This Purim that means you don’t need to worry about making Shabbos as you’ll probably get 7 different kinds of challah rolls, 3 tomato dips, and 21 mini bottles of grape juice from mishloach manos, so you should be all set. Relax and eat some more wafer rolls.

 

Mind And Body Exercise

Stamping your feet, banging your hands, or waving a gragger when you hear Haman’s name are all great, but why not take it up a notch and really work out those muscles? Buy weighted cuffs that go around your wrists and/or ankles and burn some extra calories while erasing Haman’s name.

 

Sharing Is Caring

Well that’s what mishloach manos is for.
