Food To Chew On:
Monday – The Ties that Bind
John 7:5 (NKJV)
For even His brothers did not believe in Him.
Thought For The Day:
A
special salute to those who have had to pray their prayer, remain faithful to
Christ, and witness with love and firmness in a family situation that is not
Christian. They must find their fellowship and support outside the family. Our
calling is to give them special encouragement and fellowship.
There
is No Mystery to eating and exercising… as humans have a tenancy to make it harder
then what is really is …. When we really get the concept of hard work does pay
off big!! We will be healthier, feeling great and living longer…. And in my book
that is a Win, Win!!! J
Elderly Balance Exercises
For Seniors to Help Prevent Falls
What you will need
to begin balance training in your home
1. The basic piece of equipment you will need
is an armless chair. Usually a kitchen or dining room chair is just fine. This
will give you confidence while performing your exercises. Always keep the chair
close by. It provides a great place to rest after exercising!
2. Smooth bottom shoes. Try not to wear shoes
with tacky rubber or trail type shoes. These will catch on the carpet and floor
which may result in tripping. I like a dance type shoe, one with a leather
bottom. These allow a catch-free step. A dance shoe will also come in handy
when you begin your dance class!
6 Creative Ways to Get
Children Excited about Healthy Eating
Getting
your children excited about eating healthy food is one of the major struggles
of modern parenting. And it’s no surprise really, think about all the
advertisements for junk food your children probably come across on a daily
basis, think about all their friends at school munching away on sweets and
chocolate during lunch!
It’s not hard to see why healthy food seems so
unappealing to them! I mean, think back to when you were a child! Chances are, you weren’t so keen on the
green, healthy stuff either. But as parents, we strive to make our children as
healthy as we possibly can, and the easiest way to do this, is to get them just
as excited about healthy eating as you are.
There
are several ways you can do this – and trust me, they’re not as complicated as
you might have initially thought. You don’t have to disguise things or use
trickery – you just have to be honest and use a little parenting magic. So here
goes…
1. Get your children to help cook
Getting
your children involved in the cooking side of food means that they feel like
creators – and they are excited to try eating what they just made with their
own hands! Cooking a healthy pizza is a great place to start (and a great way
to ease them in). Make some healthy dough and get some low-fat cheese, and them
ask you child to choose which toppings they want on their pizza. Allow them one
meat (wafer thin ham is always a good choice as it is practically water) and
then top up with lots of healthy vegetable choices. It works like a charm! And
because your children know the pizza was made by them – they feel less scared
of or wary of the healthy food.
