Food To Chew On:
Inner Eyes
Matthew 5:8 (NKJV)
Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall
see God.
Just as the
fluid in the physical eyes keeps the eye cleansed, so the Holy Spirit cleanses,
dilates, and retracts the vision of the spiritual eyes of the heart……~Amen~
Happy
Wonder Wednesday, Sometimes we wonder why it took us so long to start living
this new way of live and to realize how to take care of our bodies!! The right
answer is “when you are really ready than the teacher will show up.”

Balance Exercises For Seniors And The Elderly
If that is
the case, it is better to start by holding on to the back of a chair when
attempting to perform this exercise.
Better yet, call into the kitchen and get a family member out here!
That's right. Put them to good use.
Start by
crossing your right foot over the left, then step together. Move about 10 feet
in one direction, then return back by crossing the left foot over the right and
then stepping together.
If this is
too hard you will need to modify the
exercise by simply side stepping. Do not cross your feet. Side step ten feet to
the right, then side step back to the left. Gradually you will improve to the
point where it will be possible to cross one foot over the other and really do
the "grapevine"!
Good luck!
Transform Your Metabolism with Exercise
Know Your Body Mass Index(BMI)
BMI = Waist
to Hip Ratio = Body Fat % (see BMI Chart @ Sparkpeople.com)
Why do I
need to know this? When you know your ratio of lean mass to fat, you
can
determine which type of exercise and how much will get you to your goals!
Your
current body weight _____lbs x your current body fat % ____ = _____lbs of fat
Your
current body weight _____lbs – your current ______lbs of fat = _____lbs of
lean
mass: As your weight changes – so does your BMI
Fat weighs
less than muscle and it takes up more space.
To burn fat
= cardio exercise
To build
muscle = weight resistance training
Skeletal
muscles are designed to burn blood sugar effectively this is why maintaining
adequate muscle mass & exercising regularly are important keys to
maintaining stable blood sugar & metabolism
A Healthy Menu For
WEDNESDAY
Whole grain
foods help people feel full longer, says the American Academy of Family
Physicians. They recommend foods with three or more grams of fiber per serving.
One cup cooked oatmeal with 2 tbsp. of raisins and 1 cup skim milk is a high
fiber, whole grain breakfast. A whole grain lunch includes 2 Ryvita crackers with
2 tbsp. of peanut butter and 2 cups of cantaloupe. A light yogurt with 1/4 cup
unsweetened whole grain cereal is a high protein, fiber-containing afternoon
snack. For dinner dieters may enjoy 3 oz. of broiled chicken with 1/2 cup
cooked quinoa, 10 asparagus spears and a tossed salad with low-fat salad
dressing. Six cups of air-popped popcorn are a great way to the end the day.
