Food To Chew On:

Wednesday – A Problem in Our Backyard

Judges 6:25-26 (KJV)

Cut down the grove that is by it…And build an altar unto the Lord thy God….

Thought For The Day:

Lord, show me anything in me that would block me from receiving Your power to solve problems.

Today we are much Wiser now than last year… With age Should come wisdom but it is not guaranteed! We are making healthier choices and taking out the time to invest in our health and in my book that is the “Wisest Choice”! J

Planning ahead can help you stick to your weight loss goals. Having a seven-day plan simplifies grocery shopping and meal preparation. It can also help you resist temptation and deal with dieting challenges such as meals out and social occasions. A diet plan for a moderately active person features 1,500 to 1,700 calories per day, composed of a variety of natural, whole foods can be simple to follow, once you stock your pantry.

Arthritis Exercise Can Be Safe For Seniors and the Elderly

Arthritis exercise is not difficult but you do need to know what causes arthritis and to follow some simple guidelines before beginning.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), is an inflammation of the synovial membrane which surrounds the joint. Joints are filled with synovial fluid which protects and lubricates during movement.

These joints loose range of motion and can become impaired due to weakening of the ligaments and tendons especially in the wrists, hands, feet and ankles.

Osteoarthritis(OA) is also known as degenerative joint disease and results in gradual loss of the joint cartilage. 90% of Americans will have some symptoms of OA by age 40.

Your doctor should go over your exercise plan with you before starting a program and only then should you begin gently and carefully.

Adopt a Full-body workout Method

Seals need to possess not only impressive amounts of agility and stamina, but masterful command of the body. They need to be light on their feet and to have conquered their own weight and center of gravity. Thousands of pushups, sit-ups, and pull ups is great, especially with perfect form and full range of motion, but since most people in the gym aren’t preparing to visit warzones, get creative and incorporate two other exercises into each.

For example grab some exercise ingredients like burpees, box jumps, dumbbell rows, and dumbbell presses and swirl them together in a fitness cauldron. All of those as one is a pretty intense full-body workout; now add five pushups into each rep. In terms of building functional strength and muscle endurance 20 of those would feel like 500 pushups, but to nearly every muscle group in the body.

A Healthy Menu For

Wednesday

Start with 1 cup of low-fat, plain yogurt topped with 10 unsalted pecans and 1/2 cup sliced pineapple. For lunch, broil a vegetable patty and serve with 2 tbsp. of hummus, shredded lettuce, tomato and onion on 2 slices of whole-grain bread. Have an apple on the side. For dinner, have 1 cup of minestrone soup with a large salad made with butter lettuce, 1 oz. turkey breast, 2 oz. of ham, two hard-boiled egg whites, 1/4 cup white beans, grape tomatoes, cucumber and a dressing made with 2 tbsp. of red wine vinegar and 2 tsp. of olive oil. At snacks, have 1/2 cup of strawberries with 1/4 cup of trail mix and later, a slice of toast with 1 tbsp. of peanut butter.
