Food To Chew On:

Wednesday – A  Far Country in the Heart

Luke 15:31 (NKJV)

 “And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.

Thought For The Day:

“A darkened heart is a far country, for it is not by our feet but by our affections that we leave thee or return to Thee….. Augustine.

Good morning … the sun is up and shining were ever you are … it is a glorious day because you woke up to see another day. Did you do some stretching? It is as easy as touching your toes and reaching to the sky… please remember little things make great results. Today we are going to talk about controlling your Blood Pressure it is a silent killer… so we must be careful of our intake such as salts, pork, sauces and even some fruit. For those who like spices in your foods like myself … besides of using your favorite hot sauce, you can use red chili flakes, peppers or even jalapeno in a can and put it in your blender and make your own sauce and it will keep for at least for a month… we are not saying never to eat these foods but all in moderation. You must find your balance that works for you. J

                  While you're in your school year... Here are a few tips from HHWN! 

1.       Learn proper portion size. To avoid eating too much of even the healthiest foods, keep track of how much you're eating. For most people, meat servings should be about the size of a deck of cards and other servings vary by the type of food.  

2.       Vary your meals. When the cafeteria has your favorite foods daily it can be easy to return to those old favorites every day. Changing up your diet from day to day is an important part of good nutrition so take advantage of the variety of selections available to you.

A Healthy Menu For

Wednesday

For the middle of the week, beginning the day with two scrambled eggs, a slice of whole-wheat toast with a teaspoon of trans fat-free margarine and a seasonal fruit. At lunch, try a cup of minestrone soup with a side salad topped with a tablespoon of low-fat dressing. Finish your hump day with one-and-one-third cups of beef stroganoff and a cup of cooked broccoli and cauliflower topped with a tablespoon of shredded cheese.
