Food To Chew On:
Tuesday – The Secret of a Sublime Christmas
Micah 5:2,4,5 (KJV)
But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth. And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
Thought For The Day:
Christ came from the Father to reconcile us to the Father so that we might know the Father and live in peace with Him and accept that we are loved now.
Thunders Tuesday, this taken from the lyrics ”We Shall Behold Him” Vicki Winans. It is so true. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. (Luke 2:11 KJV).
Have a Blessed Merry Christmas!!
Start Exercises For The Elderly and Seniors Now
How hard should I exercise?
Stretching: Flexibility exercises allow you to more easily move and reach when doing your daily tasks around the home.
Select a stretch to perform for the upper or lower body.
Hold the stretch for 30 seconds. Then repeat the stretch 2 to 3 more times. You should not feel any pain.
Generally stretches should feel good. Only hold your neck stretches for 5 seconds if you feel any dizziness.
Stretch a minimum of twice a week. To increase your flexibility, try stretching at leas 5 days per week. Why not, it feels great!
Short-Term Effects
1. Short-term changes in blood flow. At rest, the muscles require only about 15 to 20 percent of the total amount of blood circulating through the body. During exercise the hardworking muscles demand more oxygen from the cardiovascular system, up to 80 percent. In response, blood is shunted away from the digestive organs, kidney and liver and redirected to the skeletal muscles. Blood flow to the skin also increases. The blood vessels serving the skin dilate to allow more blood to the surface of the body. This helps to cool the body down during exercise.
2.Your blood pH–the level of acidity in your blood– becomes more acidic. Your body uses by-products of carbon dioxide to buffer the hydrogen ions in your bloodstream. Hydrogen ions are electrically charged particles in your body. The greater the number of hydrogen ions, the higher the acidity. Because you breathe faster during cardiovascular exercise, you expel carbon dioxide faster than you would normally. This gives the hydrogen ions time to accumulate.
