Tuesday – A Hug
Hebrews 13:16 (KJV)
But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such
sacrifices God is well pleased.
Thought For The Day:
If there’s no time to care for the lonely this week,
we’re busy!!
Happy Tasty Tuesday!! There are some many tasty foods to
choose… enjoy making healthier choices and exercise (it is just so simple … eat
less and move more). This week we are focusing on exercising for the elderly, exercising
and a healthy menu for the day. Please remember to Eat healthy all week!! :)
Start Exercises
For The Elderly and Seniors Now
First Things First
Before starting
you should consult your doctor. Let him or her know you are going to begin
exercising or increasing your activity level. This is especially true if you
have any of the following:
•Chest pain or
pain in your left arm and neck
•Any shortness of breath
•A heart condition
•Any bone or joint problems
•If you are currently taking blood pressure or cardiac
medications
•Any unexplained dizziness or fainting
Short-Term Effects
1. Short-term changes in blood flow. At
rest, the muscles require only about 15 to 20 percent of the total amount of
blood circulating through the body. During exercise the hardworking muscles
demand more oxygen from the cardiovascular system, up to 80 percent. In
response, blood is shunted away from the digestive organs, kidney and liver and
redirected to the skeletal muscles. Blood flow to the skin also increases. The
blood vessels serving the skin dilate to allow more blood to the surface of the
body. This helps to cool the body down during exercise.
2.
Your blood pH–the level of acidity in your blood– becomes
more acidic. Your body uses by-products of carbon dioxide to buffer the
hydrogen ions in your bloodstream. Hydrogen ions are electrically charged
particles in your body. The greater the number of hydrogen ions, the higher the
acidity. Because you breathe faster during cardiovascular exercise, you expel
carbon dioxide faster than you would normally. This gives the hydrogen ions
time to accumulate.
