Bryant Hewitt With Galatians 5;22-23

Wholly Wednesday With HHWN Enjoying A Healthy Lifestyle with Bryant and Anita Hewitt Wednesday, June 12, 2013 Food To Chew On: Wednesday – The Strength of Gentleness Galatians 5:22-23 (NKJV) But the fruit of the Spirit is….goodness Thought For The Day: Only a person who is unsure of himself and Christ is afraid to be gentle. Lording it over others is a sure sign we need the Lord. Today is “Wholly Wednesday” when we start eating whole foods you will feel better and fuller faster. The amazing thing about eating whole foods, you still can enjoy your favorite foods by using wheat instead of white (bleached) and have fun with all types of fruit …. Remember to stay active. I promise you will see some amazing results If You Stick With It!!! Have A Wholly Day With HHWN!!! J Falls In Elderly & Seniors What can we do? To help with falls in elderly try balance exercises that work on strengthening our legs and arms and increase our range of motion. In that way we will help reduce the risk of falls. In our video below we work on standing on one leg while at the same time introducing arm movement. In this exercise we are picking up the pace little with a more advance exercise. Remember with this exercise it is important to always start by placing a chair in front of you for support until you are comfortable without one. I think it is a good practice to have a chair to hold on to even when your balance improves. The last place you want to be is on the kitchen floor. Remember, "practice makes..... permanent!". So don't practice sitting in a chair, unless you want to get good at sitting in a chair. Get up and challenge your balance system. You can do it. Every day make it a point to practice a little more to prevent falls in elderly people. Slowly, more switches will turn on in your brain and your balance will improve. You may not even hold on to that counter as you go by. Think of it! Do It Yourself Exercise Programs But you don’t have your very own in-pocket trainer for every day of the week, so there’s no danger of having to follow through on those shape-up promises you’ve made yourself, is there now? Unless, that is, you really and truly want to! You see, it’s not impossibly hard for you to design your own fail-safe exercise program. It might not be as personalized as working with a personal trainer, and it won’t be able to teach you the thousands of interesting progressions and variations that a top-dollar session will, but it sure as heck beats sitting on your butt or relying on boring cardio machines day-in and day-out. The first thing to know is that any good functional exercise program includes a mixture of just 7 key movements. They are: 1. Squat 2. Lunge 3. Bend 4. Twist 5. Push 6. Pull 7. Gait (walk/run) By functional, I mean a workout that replicates the type of activity your body was designed for. Hint: this does not include sitting on a weight machine with most of your muscles snoozing happily and your core doing jack-all. If you think about it, every movement you can think of in day-to-day life, whether it’s as a parent, a laborer, a farmer, an athlete, or even a hunter, can be defined by the above 7 movements. A good program simply puts them together in a way that is appropriate for your strength, fitness, flexibility, coordination, and stability capabilities. Of course this can become a very complex process but it’s also one that we can easily simplify and get you working on right away. The most important thing is for you to understand is the ‘base’ level of each movement. A Healthy Menu For Wednesday Start the day with two scrambled eggs, a slice of whole-wheat toast with a teaspoon of trans fat-free margarine and a seasonal fruit. At lunch, try a cup of minestrone soup with a side salad topped with a tablespoon of low-fat dressing. Finish your hump day with one-and-one-third cups of beef stroganoff and a cup of cooked broccoli and cauliflower topped with a tablespoon of shredded cheese. http://anitahewitt.blogspot.com/2013/06/food-for-soul-ev-anita-hewitt-61213.html
