Food To Chew On :

Friday – Gladness

Psalm 100:1-2 (KJV)

 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

Thought For The Day:

1 Corinthians 10:31 (KJV)

 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

On “Freedom Friday” we have so many ways we can use Freedom.. we have the  Freedom to frequently pick on left-overs, Freedom flex our schedule today, Freedom to have football watching us, Freedom to have fun all day and Freedom to fan away from the refrigeratorJ. As we recover from our Food Comma….we need to get back on the stick of eating healthier…

Tips on how to Live with Diabetes

1.       Take a multivitamin every day. Make sure that your vitamin includes betacarotenoids, zinc, selenium, and antioxidants.

2.        If you have diabetes, you need to take good care of your feet. Wear shoes and socks that fit your feet well. While it may seem that this would not be a big problem, it can become one if there are sores on your feet that become infected. Check your feet after you bathe and before you go to sleep at night. Check the soles of your feet using a mirror. Never use lotion between your toes. If you have a sore on your feet that does not seem to be healing, you need to see your doctor. Dry between your toes thoroughly and make sure that you wash your feet carefully.

The health and wellness craze is nothing new in Europe where beauty and wellness business has boomed for thousands of years. The options are definitely more old world than new age and utilize some of the most atmospheric locations including the old bath houses of England and Spain, salt springs in Germany or the thermal waters of Romania. Most emphasize thermal springs, relaxation, socialization and light exercise.

1.       Edipsos, Greece

People have been taking the waters in the spa town of Edipsos on Evia since the time of Aristotle. Roman and Byzantine emperors also bathed in the waters. It’s a popular location today mostly for Greek visitors who come for the springs and relaxation. Some hotels have permission to pump the thermal water directly into their own spas and are built around the ancient ruins of Roman baths. But to use any you must register with the Greek National Tourism Health Centre first which has its own hydro-massage baths, indoor and outdoor pools of both mineral and seawater, a physiotherapy center and a gymnasium.
