Monday
– Caring Is Spelled P~R~A~Y~I~N~G
James
5:16 (NKJV)
Confess your trespasses to one another, and
pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of
a righteous man avails much.
Thought
For The Day:
Our desire
to pray is evidence that God’s answer is waiting…..~Amen~
Can you
believe it is the first of July already? As we continue to eat right and
exercise we tend to be moody at time… but don’t worry it is
just your flesh crying out for the junk food… so just ignore that cry and....
Keep Up The Great Work!!! J
6
Foods to Brighten Your Day
How do you
boost your mood? Oreo cookies, cheesecake, Boston cream pie!! These six foods
may not sound all sweet and yummy but use them creatively and you’ll be getting
more bang out of your calorie count and a less stressed out mind.
1. Peppers are packed with vitamin C, which
can inhibit the production of the stress hormone cortisol. Yellow peppers have
the highest levels (341mg), Red peppers have (209mg), and Green have (132mg).
2. Walnuts have been linked to heart health
and weight control, but just a handful a day! New research from the University
of Barcelona finds that nuts, along with almonds and hazelnuts, can boost
levels of serotonin, a hormone that increases feelings of well-being.
3. Chickpeas have the vitamin B called
folate and in only half of a cup you get (141mg) of folate. This vitamin is n
ecessary for the production of dopamine, a neuro-transmitter associated with
pleasure.
4. Sardines are an omega-3 loaded fish.
Research from Ohio State University found that people who regularly consumed
foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids are 20% less anxious feeling than those who
do not consume them.
5. Avocados are a must if you are stressed.
Stress can deplete stores of B vitamins in our bodies. These B vitamins are essential for the
creation of serotonin. Avocados are an excellent source of B vitamins and
potassium, which helps to lower blood pressure.
6. Sunflower seeds an excellent source of magnesium and a
one ounce serving will give you (91mg)…you need (320mg) a day. A
deficiency of magnesium can slow dopamine production, leaving you feeling
stressed and anxious.
If you work hard to keep your outsides looking
good, why not do the same for your insides. This doesn’t mean you can’t have
any more cookies!! Eat them because you love them but, in moderation.
Get Fit with Full-Body Workouts!
Whether
it’s an upper body workout or a lower body workout, heavy metabolic demand is
what people who want to slim down are after. Mix the two, experiment, challenge
the center of gravity, and use more than one plane of motion. Finally, as a
reminder, never forget that increasing form is more important than increasing
weight. With low weight and nearly infinite variability there’s no reason why
this can’t be safely practiced each and every day.
Full Body Workout: Slimming
Exercise
regimens that concentrate on regularly incorporating a full-body workout, with
short bouts of cardio, are extremely effective in both physical conditioning,
and overall health. This means creating exercises that challenge the upper and
lower body, within multiple planes of motion, and force internal balance and
stabilization mechanisms to come into play.
A Healthy Menu For
MONDAY
Understanding
standard serving sizes can help control calorie intake, says WIN, who suggests
measuring cups and spoons as helpful tools for controlling calories. Dieters
can start Monday with a nutrient-rich breakfast of 2 cups whole grain cereal
with 1 cup skim milk and 1 1/4 cups whole strawberries. For lunch they may load
up on fiber with 2 tbsp. hummus, 8 Triscuit crackers, 10 baby carrots and 1
container of light yogurt. A small apple with 1 tbsp. of peanut butter controls
mid-afternoon hunger. A 3 oz. turkey burger on a whole wheat bun with 1 cup
California-style vegetables is a simple, nutritious dinner. A toasted
whole-wheat English muffin with 1 tsp. all-fruit jam makes a light evening
snack.
