To Chew On:
Tuesday
- A Personal Will for You
Romans
12:2 (NKJV)
And do not be conformed to this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good
and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Thought
For The Day:
I
will seek, claim, and act on God’s personal well for my life to be the unique
person He intended me to be….~Amen~
Happy
Tone It Up Tuesday, after a long weekend of good eating… we need to go back to
our routine of healthy eating and exercising… and a good way of toning up our
bodies is if you don’t have weights then you can use milk cartons, bottle water
or even can good…
So
Let’s Get Busy !!! J
Elderly
Balance Exercises For Seniors to Help Prevent Falls
Let's
get started!
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. (Uncle
Charlie!)
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!
Good balance is important
for fall prevention in seniors and the elderly. It requires the ability to keep
your center of gravity over your ankles when standing and walking.
Below I have made a great balance video that
is fun and easy to do. All you need is a chair, comfortable loose fitting
clothing, and a pair of smooth bottom
shoes to wear so you won't catch your feet
Activities that work on stressing our balance
systems will add to our overall safety at home. Balance and mobility exercises
are essential in any older adult exercise program.
As we go about our day we call on our body to
keep us upright, maintain our equilibrium, anticipate obstacles and react to
them, speed up and slow down, bend over and reach around corners.
Become
Your Own Fitness Guru!
3
Reasons to become a Fitness Guru
1. It
feels good to help people and there are so many out there right now who could
use some of yours. What is more precious to us than our bodies and health? When
you study and research health and fitness you empower yourself and give
yourself the tools to help people improve their lives and bodies and get in shape. What an amazing gift that is!
2. A
major trend that I believe is going to sweep the western world, especially
America, is a “Do It Yourself” fitness attitude. This means that in studying
exercise science, nutrition, and basic physiology in your spare time, you are
preparing yourself to know the right things at the right time to increase your
personal value to society.
3. Economically
speaking, what the west is experiencing is a “Sickness and Disease” bubble, and
history proves that all bubbles pop. A transition is taking place where profits
are already shifting to preventative health and wellness over junk food,
medical bills, and petroleum throw away products. When the fitness bubble
really hits this country, people like you will be highly sought after and
generously paid for doing good work.
A
Healthy Menu For
Tuesday
By
following the Health and Human Service Department's "Dietary Approaches to
Stop Hypertension" program, you will eat well and help lower your blood
pressure. Begin your day with 3/4 cup of bran cereal with a banana in low-fat
milk, a slice of toast and cup of orange juice. For lunch, eat a chicken salad
sandwich on whole wheat with Dijon mustard, a cup of salad with a teaspoon of
low-fat Italian dressing and a cup of fruit cocktail. Dinner consists of three
ounces of eye of the round beef, two tablespoons of fat-free beef gravy, a cup
of green beans and a small baked potato. Snack on unsalted almonds, raisins and
a half cup of nonfat fruit yogurt during the day.
