Food To Chew On:
Friday – The Floodgate of Hope
1 Corinthians 13:13 (NKJV)

 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Thought For The Day:
Without hope, faith is  stunted and love is stymied…
 

On This “Frequent Friday.” I have a question and be honest…. Are you a frequent fast food junky? If the truth be told we all are guilty!!! Today is a new day as we are going to make wiser choices…. So I dare you to stop eating fast foods  for 1 week and start eating from the garden (fresh veggie), no oils and fats  and exercise for a week and you will see the difference. We want to hear from you and let us know how you felt!! Now this dare is not only for you be also for me as well…. So we are in this together…
We Have the Victory!! Have a Healthy Day with HHWN J

Arm Stretches For Seniors And The Elderly
Arm stretches for seniors and the elderly will increase your flexibility and greatly help with daily functional movements using the upper body.
Think how many situations you encounter which requires good arm motions like reaching to a high shelf, picking up the Sunday paper, taking food out of the microwave.
 Arm stretches like the overhead reach below will give you more range of motion and maybe even help with some of your shoulder stiffness and pain.

Overhead Reach
Purpose of this exercise
 •Increase the range of motion in your shoulder and upper back.
•Help improve your ability to reach, as in getting a pan out of the cabinet or ice cream out of the freezer.

How to do it:
Step 1
•Sit comfortably in your chair.
•Inhale and interlace your hands on your lap.

Step 2
•Exhale as you raise your arms overhead.
•Return to the start position and repeat 10 times.

 Breathing:
•Exhale during the upward movement phase.
•Inhale during the downward movement phase.

 Tips:
•Sit with your spine straight and your ribs lifted.
•Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth.
•Only lift your arms as high as is comfortable.
•Pause after you have extended your arms overhead.

Take it up a notch:
•With your arms overhead, lean to the right side for a few seconds before lowering arms. Then repeat on the left side during the next lift.

3 DIY Tips to Selecting the Best Running Shoe for your Foot
Everyone’s particular foot shape, foot structure and running gait are different, and that means the ideal running shoe for one person might be all wrong for someone else.  The wrong shoe can make injury more likely to happen or just feel uncomfortable during your run, but a shoe designed for your particular needs will help make running easier and more enjoyable.

While it’s true that the more technical the shoe, the higher the price tag tends to be, but don’t let sticker shock prevent you from obtaining the right running shoe for your situation. Many retailers offer special deals and coupon codes that can be found online and used toward purchases. For instance, search for finish line coupons to locate promotions that can save you some dollars off your shoe purchase.
