Food To Chew On:
Wednesday – Silent Strength that Speaks Out
John 7:50-51 (NKJV)
Nicodemus (he who came to Jesus by night, being one of them) said to them, “Does our law judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing?”
Thought For The Day:
The Lord gives us wisdom to take a stand that will lead people to a confrontation with the Lord. What we say must be guided by Him, but silent strength speaks out!!
There comes a time for us to stop thinking about eating right and exercising and Just Do It!!! J On this “Thinking Thursday” it is a no brainer… It is all up to you if you want to live longer and healthier here are the tools you need to get on track and stay on track.
We Believe In You … YOU CAN DO IT!!! J

Elderly Balance Exercises For Seniors to Help Prevent Falls
What you will need to begin balance training in your home
(Continued from yesterday)
7. A sheet of paper or a note pad is a great item to add challenge to you walking exercises. As you will see in the video, try to walk while gazing at the paper. This advanced elderly balance exercise will improve your ability to walk comfortably in the supermarket or at the mall. Just don't charge too much!
8. Lastly we need YOU! This means that you can do it. I know you can. I have had every balance situation in my profession as a physical therapist. Remember to exercise every day. "Practice makes....permanent!" You will get better at whatever you practice every day. So don't practice sitting on the couch anymore!
6 Creative Ways to Get Children Excited about Healthy Eating
4. Do the shopping together
Get your child involved in the shopping and you’ll see their interest in fruit and veg completely improve. If you currently order your food online (whilst it is convenient) it’s ruining the interaction that your child should be having with food. Take them around the super market at least once a month to look at all the produce, and even let them pick and choose anything that catches their eye. They’ll not only feel valued – but they’ll be excited to share their choices with the rest of the family!
A Healthy Menu For
Thursday
For breakfast, choose 1 cup All Bran cereal topped with 1 small, sliced banana, 1 cup nonfat milk and coffee or tea with a sugar substitute. Lunch can include a turkey sandwich, 1 cup tossed green salad with 1 Tbsp. olive oil and vinegar and a baked apple. Your dinner meal includes 1 cup lentil soup, 6 saltine crackers and 1 cup nonfat milk. For dessert, try one small slice angel food cake and ½ cup strawberries.

Wednesday – The Inner Secret
John 7:38 (NKJV)
He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”

As we learn the importance of “Health and Wellness.” It is easy to make the necessary changes for life…. We all what to be healthier, have more energy and live longer… so we are willing to do what we have to do… So Keep Up The Good Work!!! J
What you will need to begin balance training in your home
(Continued from yesterday)
5. Can't walk in a straight line? No problem. Take some handy painters tape, place a line of it down your hallway or in your living room. In our videos you will notice I have placed a piece of making tape on the floor to follow along with. It is especially helpful with sideways movements as these are the hardest to remain straight when performing. Make sure you have some handy when you need to take a sobriety test!
6. To get more of a workout you may use ankle or wrist weights. Don't use more than one or two pounds for either your legs or arms. More weight than this may lead to shoulder injury due to holding your arm out away from your body. Who needs a gym!
6 Creative Ways to Get Children Excited about Healthy Eating
3. Grow the vegetables and fruit yourselves
If you have a garden or even a window ledge, then you can be growing the good stuff. Give your children the responsibility of growing them, watering them, planting them and picking them and they’ll start to really get excited about the end product. Make a big deal out of it too – and when the veg or fruit finally emerges – have a big family meal to celebrate the cooking of the freshly grown produce! You child will feel proud and excited!
A Healthy Menu For
Wednesday
For breakfast select one lowfat blueberry waffle, 2 tbsp. sugar-free syrup, ½ cup fresh raspberries and 1 cup nonfat milk. Enjoy coffee or tea sweetened with a sugar substitute, too. Your lunch meal includes 2 scrambled eggs, 1 oz. low fat cheese, 1 slice of toasted whole grain bread and 1 tsp. soft margarine and ½ cup fresh pineapple. For dinner, choose 3 oz. broiled salmon, ½ quinoa, ½ cup broccoli and cauliflower mix. Have 4 oz. low fat yogurt with ½ cup sliced strawberries for dessert.

Elderly Balance Exercises For Seniors to Help Prevent Falls
You might have asked the question… Why do we have so many articles about Elderly and Seniors Citizens? It is because we many not what to admit it, but we are getting older every day and if we are not there jet we will be there soon… so this is some preventive measures that we can use if and when we need it….
"Why is my balance getting worse and why am I falling?"
Have you ever lost your footing on wet or icy pavement causing you to fling your arms in the air and sending your heart into high gear?
If you have then you know how frightening losing your balance can be. Ordinarily we take our balance for granted, but it is an important and vital part of our daily life. As many as 28% to 45% of elders fall each year.
Though our balance will decline as we age, balance activities, elderly balance exercises and elderly balance training can limit the loss or actually improve our performance.
Here are some things that may be involved with your balance problems:
• Your vision may decrease which can lead to falls due to not seeing clearly.
• Your hips and legs can become weaker making it harder to walk.
• We can develop poor posture or have spinal degeneration making it harder to stand erect.
• Our ability to lift our feet decreases and we can stumble.
• It takes longer to react when something is in our way causing us to fall.
• Many drugs interact causing dizziness or decrease balance.
• Low blood pressure can lead to light-headedness increasing our risk of falls.
* Caution: Make sure you check with your doctor if you suspect a more serious balance problem involving vertigo, ear infections, Meniere's disease, chronic dizziness or drug interactions.
That is why beginning a balance program for elderly and seniors which incorporates strength training, endurance training and balance training is essential in maintaining and promoting good balance.

Rudy’s Creamed Corn
This post originally appeared on July 28th, 2009. It continues to be the most popular way that people find Bluebonnets & Brownies, and it’s still one of my favorite ways to bring “home” to our dinner table. About a week ago, I hosted 4 bloggers in my home for the weekend of Big Summer Potluck. I served this for dinner on Thursday night with barbecued chicken and Borracho Beans. It was a feast! With barbecue season nearly at a close, I wanted to make sure you have time to put this on your Labor Day party menu. You’ll be asked for the recipe for weeks to come. And because this side dish comes together in the slow cooker without much effort, it’s the perfect side dish for the grill. No oven, no mess, and it can be served right in the slow cooker on the table. Enjoy!
Ingredients
4 lbs. frozen sweet corn
2 8 oz blocks cream cheese, diced into 1 inch squares
1 stick (4 oz) of salted butter
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
4 tablespoons of sugar
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions
Throw all the ingredients, without any sort of ceremony or circumstance, into a crockpot on medium or low for at least 4 hours. If you need it done faster, cook it on the stove or on high in the crockpot, but be prepared to sacrifice a little of the savory goodness that results when corn is allowed to soak in dairy for hours. All of the cream cheese pieces should be completely melted and will easily break down and combine with the cream and butter to make the ‘gravy’.
Do not over-salt. There is plenty of salt in the butter and cream cheese. Over-salting will ruin this dish.

Back Muscle Exercise For Seniors And The Elderly
Back muscle exercise for seniors and the elderly like the arm raise below will help strengthen and stabilize your upper and lower back muscles.
These are great to do while you are lying in bed or on the couch. Arm raises on your back with your knees bent are a good way to gently stretch and strengthen a back that is tired or sore due to overuse.
This will also help with shoulder range of motion, scapular mobility and chest expansion if you incorporate breathing exercises along with the movement.
Think about relaxing the chest and neck muscles as you raise your arm up.
Then breathe in and try to bring the air all the way to your abdomen.
If done correctly, your abdomen will rise as the air comes in.
Arm Raises ( on your back)
Purpose of this exercise
•This exercise improves the range of motion in your upper back and shoulders.
•When correctly stabilizing the lower back, this exercise will help strengthen your postural muscles including the abdominals.

•Keep your low back in neutral and arms at sides.
Step 2
•Lift your right arm off the floor to an upright position.

Foods You Don’t Have to Buy Organic for the Holidays
Fresh Asparagus Recipes
Even though it’s available all year long, asparagus can easily be considered the star of the spring season -- that's when it tastes the best. Steamed, boiled, sautéed, roasted, grilled -- asparagus takes on different qualities, however you cook it. Roasting and grilling turns asparagus almost sweet. Steamed or boiled, asparagus retains the vegetable's natural flavor. But for most preparations, choose tender spears -- but in some cases thicker ones will stand up better to cooking methods like grilling. Pencil-thin spears are even great raw or blanched -- use them in salads or serve them as an appetizer alongside a dip of your choice.
In case you're wondering where asparagus comes from, it's actually related to the lily. The spears emerge from a rhizome below the soil level and are harvested typically thin and young (see how asparagus is grown here). Mediterranean in origin, asparagus is now grown in almost every corner of the world, including Mexico, Peru, China, and Chile, and then shipped to supermarkets everywhere. But you’ll never find fresher, tastier stalks than those sold in your local farmers' markets.

15 Foods You Don’t Have to Buy Organic for the Holidays
(We will explore all 15 foods within the next week) so please hang in with us it is some interesting facts….
Healthy eating is no longer a crazy fad but a widespread movement that reaches far beyond the social borders of hippies, locavores and their ilk. But those of us who weren’t raised perusing the incense-infused aisles of the local health food store for fructose-sweetened knock-offs of the diabetes-inducing cereals all the other kids were eating need a little help. With Thanksgiving coming up, there is no better time to try out delicious recipes that will weigh lightly on your conscience (if not on your scale).
Starting with the basics, a good beginner’s guide to pair with your holiday grocery list is The Clean 15, a guide to 15 fruits and vegetables whose non-organic options are low enough in harmful pesticides to greatly reduce your risk of growing a third eye (save that for yoga class). Sadly many of the fruits and veggies involved in classic family dinner dishes, such as the apples in your favorite pie, are often full of pesticide residue if they’re not certified organic. But fear not, the Clean 15 has plenty of yummy choices like the ones used in these recipes that are worth giving thanks for.
1. Asparagus with Creamy Tarragon Sauce
This Huffington Post slideshow features 25 photos of different preparations for this member of the Clean 15. Steamed asparagus is a good, green substitute for green bean casserole, and with its creamy but light sauce you won’t even miss the Cream of Mushroom soup.
