Wednesday – Don’t Miss The Blessing!!
2 Corinthians 9:8 (KJV)
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye,
always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.
Good Day my brothers and sisters… today is a
good day to jog outside or in place, touching your toes and doing some crunches…
if you do just 20 minutes a day you will
get your heart rate up and going for the day. We are going to talk more about
the benefits of Veggie Smoothies:
Fiber
Although fruits and vegetables are a good
source of fiber, the vegetable smoothie may not be the best way for you to
increase your fiber intake. An 8-ounce serving of a homemade vegetable smoothie
contains 0 grams of fiber, and the bottled smoothie contains 1 to 3 grams of
fiber. Fiber is an important nutrient you need for good health. Fiber helps
eliminate waste from your body, as well as help with appetite control. In
addition, consuming a high-fiber diet may lower your risk of developing heart
disease and diabetes. You should aim for 21 to 38 grams of fiber a day.
Sodium
Compared to some vegetable juices, the
vegetable smoothie is significantly lower in sodium. One serving of the
homemade vegetable smoothie contains 7.5 milligrams of sodium, and the bottled
smoothie has 25 milligrams. By comparison, an 8-ounce serving of various
vegetable juices can have as much as 600 milligrams of sodium.
Vitamins and Minerals
As a pureed vegetable and fruit blend, the
vegetable smoothie is a good source of a number of essential nutrients. One
8-ounce serving of a bottled vegetable smoothie meets 120 percent of your daily
value for vitamin A, 105 percent of your daily value for vitamin C and 25
percent of your daily value for iron.
And if you still think you are Too Old for Health and Wellness…. Here are some more helpful tips
that will help you.
1.
Get
regular dental, vision and hearing checkups
Your teeth and gums will
last a lifetime if you care for them properly—that means daily brushing and
flossing and getting regular dental checkups. By age 50, most people notice
changes to their vision, including a gradual decline in the ability to see
small print or focus on close objects. Common eye problems that can impair
vision include cataracts and glaucoma. Hearing loss occurs commonly with aging,
often due to exposure to loud noise.
2.
Manage
stress
Try exercise or relaxation
techniques—perhaps meditation or yoga—as a means of coping. Make time for
friends and social contacts and fun. Successful coping can affect our health
and how we feel. Learn the role of positive thinking.
3.
Fan
the flame
When it comes to sexual intimacy and aging, age is no reason to
limit your sexual enjoyment. Learn about physical changes that come with aging
and get suggestions to help you adjust to them, if necessary.
A Healthy Menu For
Wednesday
If the ingredients of an item are difficult
to pronounce, the food item may not be a healthy choice. For
breakfast, low-fat cottage cheese with sliced peaches and whole-wheat toast
with margarine is a healthy start to the day. For lunch, vegetable pizza from
the local pizzeria with fresh fruit salad, may be a flavorful alternative to
what someone may be accustomed. For dinner, grilled salmon with roasted
potatoes and roasted brussel sprouts will change anyone's mind about leafy
green veggies.
