Food To Chew On:
Saturday – The Light of Life
John 8:12 (NKJV)
Then Jesus spoke
to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall
not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
Thought For The Day:
Ask to be filled with the light of Christ’s mind, walk in
the light of Christ’s guidance, live in the light of Christ’s purpose and relate
to others in the light of Christ’s love and integrity….
On this beautiful Stable Saturday, we are looking at food
differently these days and it is a good thing!! If we are eating right and exercising
we are getting more stable in the new way of living for life!!! J There is no diets, pills or quick fix to undo a long term of bad eating
habits… We need to go back to the old school of … exercising and eating right…we didn’t
gain weight overnight and we will no loose it overnight…IF you make up your mind
to do it … then you will see some wonderful results…
Be Good To Yourself
and Have A Healthy Weekend!! J
Elderly Balance Exercises For
Seniors to Help Prevent Falls
Let's get started!
Within the next few weeks there are 12 elderly and senior
balance exercises. The exercises below
are a sampling of some basic balance exercises we use in Physical Therapy.
The exercises progress in difficulty from beginning to
end. If you use a cane or walking is difficult, make sure someone is with you
for support.
Remember, elderly and senior balance training can be a
fun activity but will only show benefits if it is done regularly with the
correct focus. "Practice makes PERMANENT."
Practice two or more of these exercises for 10 minutes
every day. I know that's a lot, but you do want to get better don't you?
So get a stable family member, your chair, place it in a
clear spot in your living room. Put on your smooth bottom shoes and let's begin
the beguine!
6 Creative Ways to Get Children
Excited about Healthy Eating

Get them to start a food blog
Getting your children blogging isn’t only a good idea
because it means they’re writing on a regular basis – but it’s also really
smart because it will encourage them to record what they eat and take note of
it. You could make it a family project even – and you could see who has recorded
the best meals that week!
