To Chew On:
Tuesday
– Last Will and Testament
John
14:27 (NKJV)
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to
you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.
Thought
For The Day
The
will was read today. You were named as a beloved benefactor. The Savior of the
world willed you the gift of peace. Being of sound mind, spend it – the supply
is unlimited.
As you
flow with the tenderness of God’s love, make this Tuesday a Blessed Tuesday for
all those that are around you and yourself… Have a Healthy Tuesday. J

Addictive
Ingredients found in Processed Foods
We
know that fueling our body with the most nourishing food will keep our energy
high, our weight at the optimal level, our sleep invigorating, and immune
system fighting. So why do we eat so many processed foods with minimal
nutritional value and empty calories? Some of the reasons are related to our
hectic, stressed lifestyles and the availability of processed and fast foods.
The
food industry has been very accommodating to our demands to make our life
easier by producing quick, convenient meals and snacks for the on-the-go
families and career singles. Walk into any grocery store and the aisles are
filled with pop-in-the-microwave, eat-right-out-of-the-package processed meals.
Single serve soups, snacks and frozen meals are so abundant that you could
easily fill your cart for the entire week with processed food that requires
virtually no cooking and is ready in just a few minutes. What’s wrong with
that?
Take
a close look at the ingredient labels of those processed foods. The amount of
sugar (remember there are many different forms of sugar), fat and salt in
processed foods is high. Add a couple of fast food meals to that and not only
is the calorie count most likely too high, but the sugar, fat and salt amounts
most certainly exceed what your body needs.
A
Healthy Menu For
Tuesday
For
breakfast, eat 1 cup raisin bran cereal with 1 cup nonfat milk, 1 cup
blackberries. Enjoy this with coffee or tea with a sugar substitute. Lunch
consists of a grilled tomato and cheese sandwich on whole grain bread, 2 celery
stalks served with 2 tbsp. chunky salsa for dipping. Add 1 cup red seedless
grapes for dessert. For dinner, choose 3 oz. pork tenderloin, 1 cup boiled
kale, 1 cup nonfat milk and ½ a red grapefruit. If you are hungry later in the
evening, enjoy 3 cups air-popped popcorn.
