To Chew On:
Tuesday
– The Secret of a Sublime Christmas
Micah
5:2,4,5 (KJV)
But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though
thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come
forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from
of old, from everlasting. And he shall
stand and feed in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the
Lord his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of
the earth. And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into
our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against
him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
Thought
For The Day:
Christ came from the Father to reconcile us to the Father
so that we might know the Father and live in peace with Him and accept that we
are loved now.
Thunders Tuesday, this taken from the lyrics ”We Shall Behold
Him” Vicki Winans. It is so true. For unto you is born this day in the city of
David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. (Luke 2:11 KJV).
Have a Blessed Merry Christmas!!
Start
Exercises For The Elderly and Seniors Now
How
hard should I exercise?
Stretching: Flexibility exercises allow you to more
easily move and reach when doing your daily tasks around the home.
Select a stretch to perform for the upper or lower body.
Hold the stretch for 30 seconds. Then repeat the stretch
2 to 3 more times. You should not feel any pain.
Generally stretches should feel good. Only hold your neck
stretches for 5 seconds if you feel any dizziness.
Stretch a minimum of twice a week. To increase your
flexibility, try stretching at leas 5 days per week. Why not, it feels great!
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.
