Food To Chew On:

Wednesday – In The Night Watches

Psalm 63:6 (KJV)

When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

Thought For The Day:

When worries awaken me, I will thank the Lord for time alone with Him, remember His grace, ask for guidance, and listen to Him as He gives me fresh insight and wisdom.

It’s Waiting On It Wednesday…. We must wait to see the results, but I promise you it is coming, if you stick to it. It is all about winning the world for Christ. And getting our bodies in shape and eating Healthier foods... and the Holidays are here and we have that day set aside for a feast, family and fun. While the only thing I can tell you is to be mindful about what you are eating and take it one day at a time. And stay free.

Enjoy the holidays with HHWN!! :)

Heart-healthy diet: Steps to prevent heart disease

1.    Choose low-fat protein sources

2.        

Lean meat, poultry and fish, low-fat dairy products, and egg whites or egg substitutes are some of your best sources of protein. But be careful to choose lower fat options, such as skim milk rather than whole milk and skinless chicken breasts rather than fried chicken patties.

Fish is another good alternative to high-fat meats. And certain types of fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can lower blood fats called triglycerides. You'll find the highest amounts of omega-3 fatty acids in cold-water fish, such as salmon, mackerel and herring. Other sources are flaxseed, walnuts, soybeans and canola oil.

Legumes — beans, peas and lentils — also are good sources of protein and contain less fat and no cholesterol, making them good substitutes for meat. Substituting plant protein for animal protein — for example, a soy or bean burger for a hamburger — will reduce your fat and cholesterol intake.

Proteins to choose	Proteins to limit or avoid
Low-fat dairy products such as skim or low-fat (1%) milk, yogurt and cheese Egg whites or egg substitutes Fish, especially fatty, cold-water fish, such as salmon Skinless poultry Legumes Soybeans and soy products, for example, soy burgers and tofu Lean ground meats	Full-fat milk and other dairy products Organ meats, such as liver Egg yolks Fatty and marbled meats Spareribs Cold cuts Hot dogs and sausages Bacon Fried or breaded meats
