Saturday – A Needed Embrace and Kiss

Psalm 85:10 (KJV)

 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

Thought For The Day:

As a person made righteous through faith in Christ. I will live under His management in my relationship and responsibilities.

Selfish Saturday? Yes we said it!!! There comes a time we all must be selfish about our health, mind, body and soul…We give all the time to others and never take the time to be good to yourself… so today is a day for some good R&R (rest and relaxation). So be good to yourself today… and we will see you Monday… Keep on drinking water, exercise and watch your intake... And have a wonderful weekend.

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.      Cordoba Hammam, Spain

Most Arab-style bathhouses were left to crumble when Moorish domination ended in Spain. But in Córdoba the Medina Califal Hammam was restored in 2001and it looks much like it did in its 10th century heyday with the same star-shaped holes in the ceiling and intricate tiles. Guests alternate between a series of hot and cold baths and then submit to a quick pummeling from a chiropractic masseur. This is a secular, mixed-sex crowd, so advance bookings and bathing suits are required.

Heart-healthy diet: Steps to prevent heart disease

Allow yourself an occasional treat

Allow yourself an indulgence every now and then. A candy bar or handful of potato chips won't derail your heart-healthy diet. But don't let it turn into an excuse for giving up on your healthy-eating plan. If overindulgence is the exception, rather than the rule, you'll balance things out over the long term. What's important is that you eat healthy foods most of the time.

Incorporate these eight tips into your life, and you'll continue to find that heart-healthy eating is both doable and enjoyable. With planning and a few simple substitutions, you can eat with your heart in mind.
