Food To Chew On:
Tuesday – Free Indeed
John 8:36 (NKJV)
Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.
Thought For The Day:
What distorted ideas of life keep people from being free? Am I less than person Christ wants me to be because of any of these debilitating ideas?
Along this life of ours we are going to go through the “Tides of Life.” Some of the storms we will sale through and some looks like there is no way we are going to make it … but God brings us through each and every one of them …. And if you are in a storm right now just call on the Name of Jesus… and it is the same way when we are learning a new way of living for life…it looks like a storm but guest what you can make it…if you want to live.. so the question is how bad do you want it? And only you can make that choice, so choose wisely!!! J

To contrast true physical hunger that fuels our body with nourishing food:

Food To Chew On:
Monday – Truth that Liberates
John 8:31-32 (NKJV)
Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
Thought For The Day:
Make a list of any area in your life where you do not feel free. Now, as you abide in Christ and His Spirit abides in you, ask Him to guide you in writing out how you are to think about each of these areas in the light of the Truth He has given in His promises. Be specific. Than act and feel free.
Good Morning, Mindful Monday…. Wow that is a mouth full J however that is so true… we must be mindful about our bodies, the foods we eat, we must get enough rest and some old fashion R&R, and let’s not forget to exercise!!! When we learn how to look at food differently then we really will become very mindful about what we put into our bodies… So keep on reading our blogs and we will learn together!!! J
Have a Wonderful Day with HHWN!!!
Elderly Balance Exercises For Seniors to Help Prevent Falls
Fall Prevention In The Elderly
Good balance is important for fall prevention in seniors and the elderly. It requires the ability to keep your center of gravity over your ankles when standing and walking.
Below I have made a great balance video that is fun and easy to do. All you need is a chair, comfortable loose fitting clothing, and a pair of smooth bottom shoes to wear so you won't catch your feet. Read on then give it a try.
Activities that work on stressing our balance systems will add to our overall safety at home. Balance and mobility exercises are essential in any older adult exercise program.
As we go about our day we call on our body to keep us upright, maintain our equilibrium, anticipate obstacles and react to them, speed up and slow down, bend over and reach around corners.
These all require a flexible body, good posture, and continued awareness of maintaining our center of gravity over our base of support which is usually over out ankles.
Below are some excellent balance activities to begin your better balance. This is one of the most simple standing exercises.
Standing on one leg is an exercise that can be practiced anywhere you have a chair or counter to hold on to.
This exercise will strengthen your ankles and hips, which are vital in keeping us stable.
Fall prevention in the elderly and seniors is increasing in awareness especially in assisted care and independent living facilities. The more we can practice stressing our balance systems, the more stable we will become.
7 Signs You’re an Emotional Eater
Your boss was a bear today and you are buried under work that will take you days to finish. All you can think about is getting home and chilling out with a pizza and some beer. Or maybe you and your husband had a nasty argument. You both said hurtful things in anger. You’ve had time to calm down and think it over. Now the tears are flowing and that bowl of ice cream is so soothing.
We all soothe ourselves occasionally with food; that’s why it’s called comfort food. Although food’s main purpose is to provide nutrition to our bodies, at a very young age, we learn that food can make us feel better.
But when we start using food as the sole comforter, rather than other healthier techniques or strategies, weight gain can be the result. The following 7 signs will help you to identify if you are eating in response to emotional hunger, rather than physical hunger
1. The hunger comes on suddenly
2. You feel it above the neck (mouth hunger)
3. Unrelated to mealtime- you may have eaten your last meal an hour before
4. You crave specific foods, especially comfort foods like ice cream, cookies or pizza. Carrots or an apple just won’t do
5. It’s tough to fill up
6. Even if you overeat, you don’t feel satisfied
7. You often have feelings of shame or guilt after eating
A Healthy Menu For
Monday
Start with a serving of high-fiber, low-sugar cereal, 1 cup of skim milk and 1 cup of raspberries. For lunch, combine 1/2 cup of cooked whole-wheat pasta and mix with 1/2 cup roasted chicken breast, 1 tbsp. of light mayonnaise and chopped celery. Have an apple on the side. At dinner, try 4 oz. of flank steak with two corn tortillas, 1 cup shredded cabbage and a slice of avocado. For snacks, have about 20 whole almonds and later, a cup of nonfat yogurt with half a kiwifruit.

I humbly come before You Lord, in remembrance of Your sacrifice for me...~Amen~

Elderly Balance Exercises For Seniors to Help Prevent Falls
Balancing exercises are challenging!
Don't try these senior and elderly balance exercises alone if you are uncomfortable about these exercises or are unsure of your ability to complete them.
Start slowly with the first exercise until you become used to the new experience of stressing your balance system.
It is not a race to the finish. You may be comfortable only performing the first few balance exercises and not be comfortable doing the moving and walking exercises. That is ok! Really!
Never do something that you are nervous about by yourself.
Much better to have a helpful, stable person around to make you more confident and secure. What else are family members for?
6 Creative Ways to Get Children Excited about Healthy Eating
5. Do a cooking competition
If you have multiple children then arrange a week of cooking competitions where the most healthy meal wins… This is a great way to not only getting them thinking healthily, but also to get them excited and encouraged to make things healthy too. Most children love having a friendly competition against their siblings, but if your child is an only child then don’t worry you can still do this one! Just have them compete against you instead! It’s a really fun way of getting them to actively think about what they’re eating in a fun way.
A Healthy Menu For
Friday
Have a cup of cooked oatmeal topped with 1/2 cup of skim milk, 2 tbsp. of raisins and 1 tsp. of brown sugar. For lunch, stir 1/4 cup of salsa into 1 cup of nonfat, plain Greek yogurt. Use as a dip for one serving of baked tortilla chips, 1 cup carrot sticks and a sliced red pepper. At dinner, make a mock pizza with a whole-wheat English muffin, 1/4 cup of marinara sauce and 1 1/2 oz. of part-skim mozzarella cheese. Toss a large green salad on the side with low-calorie dressing. Snacks for this day are 3 cups of air-popped popcorn topped with 1 tbsp. of shredded Parmesan cheese and a glass of red wine or a whole apple.
