Food To Chew On:

A Far Country In The Heart

Luke 15:31 (NKJV)

 And he said to him, Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.

Thought For The Day:

“A darkened heart is a far country, for it is not by our feet but by our affections that we leave Thee or return to Thee” –Augustine.

Today is “Trusting Your Body Thursday.” We must learn how to listen to our bodies…. Believe it or not our bodies really do talk to us, the fact is we don’t listen to our bodies!! Our body say’s rest and we push our bodies even feather or our body say’s we are full and we keep on stuffing ourselves than we feel sick later or our body say’s sit down and what do we do we keep on standing. Then when we can’t move that is when we say “I should have listen to my body the first time!!” We are speaking from experience how well we know this to be a fact!! So today let’s start trusting our bodies more!! J

Five Things You Should Never Eat (And What To Eat Instead)

Try This Instead: Broiled

If you simply must have a French fry, then make them at home in your oven. Use sweet potatoes, as these are a more complex carbohydrate. Cut into matchsticks, drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil along with a dash of salt, then place in your oven on broil. Turn every five minutes until the fries are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.

Why You REALLY Shouldn't Use Protein Powders

BY JULIE PELÁEZ

People love their protein powders, and they'll defend the benefits of these supplements until they're blue in the face. I get it, because I've been there. Years ago I drank a banana, blueberry and a whey protein powder blend smoothie every day. I thought I was being really healthy, because after all, the powder promised ripped abs, sleek muscles, more energy and better athletic performance.

Sounded good to me. I just drink this protein shake every day, and I’ll be a healthy, hot super-yogini, right?

Wrong! Protein powders are highly processed and are often heated to the point that the protein is denatured, which makes it nearly impossible for the body to recognize and use. The result is higher levels of acidity and toxicity in the body, which can lead to plenty of unwanted illnesses and diseases.
