Food To Chew On:
Tuesday – Living Without Fear
Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV)
 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
Thought For The Day:
What would it be like for you to be fearless? Do we have a clear image of that? Ask Christ to reveal it to you and them live it today….Amen
On this beautiful Tuesday, our title is “Togetherness Tuesday.” Even if you are single you are never alone… Togetherness is with family or friends, what I love about togetherness is that we build and bond that is hard to break and something’s our friends are closer than our very own family…. So Let’s Come Together and Exercise & Eat to Live not Live to Eat…
Have a Healthy Day with HHWN J
 Hand Exercises For Seniors And The Elderly
Hand exercises for seniors and the elderly are a wonderful component to your daily stretching routine.
Our hands are usually the first thing we notice in the morning that has stiffened up overnight.  
Hand exercises like the hand stretch below will help loosen up the fingers and palm.  See the flexibility page for more tips and information on flexibility.
 A good idea for warming up your hands is to use a microwave hot pack before stretching. 
This will increase the temperature of the tissues under the skin including ligaments and tendons, which will make them much more elastic.
Try it and see how much further you can open and close your hand.
