Sandburg Stretches

 This weekend the Esselstyn crew did another series of videos, the topic of these being Engine 2 Kitchen Rescue. Because it was a typical busy weekend around here, I missed almost all of them when they aired live.

But I did catch a few minutes here and there, and a few times I saw mention of something Rip had talked about called Sandburg Stretches. Hmm, wonder what that was all about?

Well, a quick search turned up this blog post that not only explained that they came from Rip's great grandfather, poet Carl Sandburg, who did them into his 90's, but multiple videos of Rip back in 2015 demonstrating them all!

Promo Video for Advanced Techniques Course











What's embarrassing is that I never finished watching the first series of lessons he did! As soon as he showed how to hold the veggies, with the knuckles as a cutting guide, I was out. With my arthritic hands, my fingers no longer bend that way. One of these days I'll watch them all - looks like some nice recipes he included in it. And this new series in December? Well, I'll have to see what he's cooking, if all the recipes are still allowable on the McDougall and Esselstyn food plans.
