Greetings for this Fine February Day!

Did you have some fun developing your own Personal Wellness Plan during Manido Giizis?  We are wondering what delicious ways that you included more mandaamin in your intake? 

In your efforts to maintain and improve your health, please remember that we have a full team of health professionals at Mina Mskiki Gumik Health Department available to help you achieve your health and wellness goals.  And, we are always interested in stories of your personal health and wellness journey.

During the time of Makwa Giizis we offer you a new challenge:  the opportunity to improve your heart health and reduce your risk of, or help you to manage, diabetes by adding more mskodiisminak [m shko diis mi nak] into your weekly intake.  Please view the attached materials to help you get started with this challenge and to learn more about mskodiisminak and their use in Food as Medicine.

Due to aging and genetics (two things that I cannot change) I have been working on this challenge myself since early December and trying to make mskodiisminak part of my everyday meal planning.   It has worked for me to make a variety of mskodiismin [m sko diis min] soups and then freeze some to thaw and eat later throughout the following weeks.   Mskodiismin soup makes a great lunch, dinner, or snack!  Next, I plan to experiment with black mskodiismin burgers!  Watch for the video!!!
