Proud Dad...Nothing to do with Chiropractic!

So I haven't been very good about posting blog updates recently. I typically try to write posts on the weekends, but lately our weekends are filled with Pee Wee football. Here is a video of my son's first ever touchdown::



In addition to being a proud dad, I work with another dad to video and put together highlight videos of each of the games. The boys have worked hard this season, won their county championship game and earned a spot in a regional "Sandlot Superbowl" on Saturday, November 3rd! I have added a tab with videos of the "Road to the Sandlot Superbowl."

I guess we could consider this a post about family health/fitness. Wrestling season is up next :)

Does Cumin Have Health Benefits?

With Autumn and cooler weather just around the corner, foods with a little more spice or kick are likely making their way back to your family's menu. But, did you ever think some of the spices already in your pantry may actually provide some health benefits while also adding great flavor to your food? One great example is cumin.

Articles abound on the internet about the potential health benefits of this tasty little spice. Cumin may help aid in better digestion and relieve indigestion. It also has properties that can help ease symptoms of sinus and/or chest congestion and common colds. I am personally feeling the decongestant benefits of cumin as I type this! Some even suggest that cumin is a strong free-radical scavenger that may be helpful in preventing cancers.

This morning I added some ground cumin to my eggs and Morning Star veggie sausage. I'm actually not a huge fan of the taste of the veggie sausage, so it made it taste MUCH better and now I am breathing easier!

Begging For A Cure!

Well folks, it is that time of year. We are just 44 days away from Relay for Life of Lynchburg. Guess what...I need your money!!!

Our team is nearly a third of the way to meeting our $3000 goal. I, on the other hand, am off to a slow start to reaching my $500 personal goal. The important thing is that our team reaches the goal, but honestly, I can't and won't let my team down. With your help, we can reach our financial goals and maybe one day, reach the ultimate goal of finding a cure for this disease!

In case you weren't at last year's event, here are some pictures of how far I will go to reach our goal.



That's right...I have no shame!!! I will send you emails, post on Facebook, Tweet you, get LinkedIn to your purse and whatever else it takes to get a donation. Or, if you would like, just click the link below and go ahead and donate so I will leave you alone.

Donate to Dr. Wimmer now so he will leave me alone!!!

Thanks in advance.
