To Chew On:
Friday
– When Your Heart Is Troubled
John
14:1,2,6 (NKJV)
“Let
not your heart be troubled…I go to prepare a place for you…Jesus said to him,
“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except
through Me.
Thought
For The Day:
There’s
only one what to the heart of God, the way He ordained-through Jesus Christ,
the Way. Let Him lead you home-now!!!
Happy
Flourishing Friday, we are growing wiser as we are learning how to eat
healthier and moving more, whatever your movement is…. It is a simple concept “Eat
Less and Move More.” It is that easy but we make much harder than what it is. Make
healthier meals and watch your portions and try to stay away from fried and
salty foods… You Can Do It… If I can lose over 80 lbs. I know you can too….
So
Keep Up The Good Work…We Believe In You!!! J
Balance
Exercise For Seniors And The Elderly
Balance
exercise for seniors and the elderly, like the heel to toe below, can help in
maintaining your center of gravity over your ankles.
Below
I have made a great balance video that is fun and easy to do. All you need is
comfortable loose fitting clothing, and a pair of smooth bottom shoes to wear
so you won't catch your feet. Read on then give it a try.
Being
able to stand or walk with a narrow base of support is vital in keeping your
balance, especially when moving. By narrowing your base of support, we will be
challenging your ability to keep your center of gravity over your base of
support, which is usually your ankles.
Start
by holding on to a counter, a human being ( they call them family members) or
even use a cane. This will give you the confidence to practice and focus your
attention on the things that matter.
This
is an excellent balance exercise to perform every day because it is so easy to
do and can be incorporated into your regular activities. Start in the kitchen
holding on to a counter.
Simply
place one foot in front of the other, heel to toe fashion until you run out of
counter. Repeat up to 10 times. And off you go! After you practice the balance
exercise for a while, try looking ahead at eye level, without looking down at
your feet. I know... it is so tempting to look at your shoes as they travel
across the floor.
So
let's get started on our balance exercise! Make sure you get out all those
jokes about failing the police sobriety test first! I've heard them all. You
will also notice I placed a strip of tape down on the floor. This is used as a
visual cue. It helps to know where your feet should go.
If
you can't walk on the line directly, simply walk with your feet as close as
possible without actually stepping on the line.
Good
luck!
Tips
for Sufferers of Seasonal Allergies
Know
what is causing your symptoms
The
first thing you should do when preparing for allergy season is to know your
symptoms and what causes them. Are you allergic to dust, mold, pollen, your
pets, or something else? It may take a considerable amount of time research
what causes your allergies but it will provide you a lifetime of happiness and
relief. Try using a personal diary to track what may cause your symptoms or as
mentioned above, schedule an appointment with an immunologist.
H2O is better…
Drinking 8 glasses of water per day use to be
the recommended dose, but really to stay hydrated you should drink half of your
body weight in ounces of water. This may seem like a lot but is crucial in
staying symptom free during the allergy season. Water will thin mucous
secretions and hydrate your mucous membrane tissues.
A
Healthy Menu For
Friday
Have
a cup of cooked oatmeal topped with 1/2 cup of skim milk, 2 tbsp. of raisins
and 1 tsp. of brown sugar. For lunch, stir 1/4 cup of salsa into 1 cup of
nonfat, plain Greek yogurt. Use as a dip for one serving of baked tortilla
chips, 1 cup carrot sticks and a sliced red pepper. At dinner, make a mock
pizza with a whole-wheat English muffin, 1/4 cup of marinara sauce and 1 1/2
oz. of part-skim mozzarella cheese. Toss a large green salad on the side with
low-calorie dressing. Snacks for this day are 3 cups of air-popped popcorn
topped with 1 tbsp. of shredded Parmesan cheese and a glass of red wine or a
whole apple.
