Health and Lifestyle - Cooling Down in St. Corona

Health and lifestyle ... what to do to lead that healthy lifestyle that you crave?  Sometimes you have to sit back and take the time to smell the roses ...

It has been HOT here in Austria ... close to 100 degrees for the last 4 days.  So what better way to cool down than to visit an old friend up in the mountains at his home in St. Corona?  We hopped into the car and drove up for dinner and a relaxing evening ... enjoying the view from the balcony.  A picture postcard view of the valley below.

The temperature dropped a good 10 degrees at 3000 feet .. what a pleasant relief!  Then our friend uncorked  a delicious red wine from one of the local heurigens (Austrian wine house)

Then on to a light dinner ... a Greek salad ... eating healthy is a key to living longer!

Crunchy and tangy, this refreshing salad really hit the spot.  Made with:

• Chopped pitted green olives
• Cucumber
• Celery
• Light green peppers
• Sun ripened tomatoes
• Red Radish
• Feta cheese

Dressed with:

• Olive oil
• Equal parts Apple cider vinegar & water
• 1T. honey
• 1/2 tsp. dried oregano

 Of course, there was  crusty rye bread ... YUM! 

So, my friends, living a healthy lifestyle should be something that you work at everyday, but it shouldn't be hard work, but enjoyable.

Here's to Health and Lifestyle!
