Food To Chew On:

Prelude to New Power

Psalm 143:10 (NKJV)

Teach me to do Your will,
For You are my God;
Your Spirit is good.
Lead me in the land of uprightness.

Thought For The Day:

Living in God’s will is not like flying on automatic pilot where you turn on the flight pattern and forget about it. Instead, it is a sensitive relationship with the Lord in which He uses everything to communicate His guidance. Communication from the Lord comes in communion with the Lord…~Amen~

It is Movie Monday, you can make a movie of your early beginnings and now …. The New You…. As you continue to do the right things for your body… You will see the new you and love it!!! Renewed strength, energy, and confidence that you can always build on….

So Keep up The Great Work You Can Do It!!! J

Falls For The Seniors And The Elderly

The side step over - How to do it

Step 1

·         Begin with 2 objects on floor.

·         Space them out 12 to 16 inches apart.

Step 2

·         Lift your foot at least 6 inches and side step over the objects.

Breathing:

·         Breathe normally, inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth.

Tips:

·         Use a kitchen counter to hold on to if you don't feel safe stepping over objects.

·         When side stepping , try not to cross your feet. This can lead to tripping.

·         These exercises are easier with your shoes off in stocking feet.

Take it up a notch:

·         Try lifting your chest and looking straight ahead when walking.

·         Use tape on your floor to make a straight line to increase the difficulty.

·         Place one pound weights on your ankles for a more challenging workout.

You did it! I knew you could. Remember that things go quickly out of our heads as we get older. That is why it is important to practice balance exercises for falls and the elderly every day.

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.
