Food To Chew On:

Sharing The Impossibility of Impossibilities

Luke 1:37 (NKJV)

 For with God nothing will be impossible.”

Thought For The Day:

But He said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”  Luke 18:27 (NKJV)

Good Day family… we are so blessed that you are viewing us every day and for  that we say Thank You so very much!! We had more tips on Healthy Eating. J  (25-30)

25. A pedometer can help keep track of your steps. If you're not getting 10,000 steps a day, you're not moving enough.

26. Natural applesauce is an excellent dip for fruits such as bananas and melons.

27. Take every opportunity to move around, even in small ways. Studies show fidgety people tend to be skinnier.

28. Identify the emotional triggers that lead you to seek unhealthy comfort food. Picture your goal weight the next time a trigger strikes to help you resist temptation.

29. Use a vegetable bean dip such as hummus instead of ranch dressing or a fatty cream-based dip.

30. People who regularly weigh themselves and keep track of their progress in a journal are more likely to lose weight.

Leg Workout Exercises For Seniors And The Elderly

Leg exercises assist with lower body strengthening which improves balance and flexibility.

This results in increased functional independence and confidence.

When performing the straight leg raise below, make sure your low back is pressed into the floor.

This brings your spine into alignment for increased safety and comfort.

I like this exercise for not only strengthening the leg and hip but also for stabilizing the low back and pelvis. Give it a try! 

The Top 5 Reasons to Eat Healthy Food

5. Prevent heart disease, type II diabetes, stroke and

some forms of cancer:

 A poor diet has been attributed as potential factors of these diseases. Prevention is clearly better than treatment.

Whatever your motivation for eating healthy food, it does not need to be boring or bland. Spice it up, switch things around, trying new recipes and foods. Nothing is good or bad, just some foods are superior fuel and energy and some are just emotional satisfaction. Before I make a choice, I ask if the food before me is worth it… taste, texture and calories. If it is, I savor each bite.
