Feeling a bit tired lately....

Ever wonder why you keep getting stomach aches? Why are you so sluggish lately? Why are you forgetting things? Why do you have no mental and physical strength?

Maybe you should check your diet. Maybe it's time to do inventory on the things you allow to enter your body. Our mind is affected by what we eat and drink. Our bodies need good nutrients in order to function. Your eating habits could be affecting the way you feel and think.

Try replacing one unhealthy food (meats, starch, sweets, etc.) with a healthy one (fruits, nuts, vegetables, whole grain, etc.) and see if you feel any difference in the way your body functions. If you like how your body is feeling try replacing two, then three. Try drinking more water and less sugar drinks and coffee. Trust me your body will thank you :)

A clogged stomach = A clogged brain

Unclogg your stomach. Unclogg your brain :)



Self-Control.....

One of strongest temptations that human beings have to meet is upon the point of appetite. Don't let your appetite control you. You control your appetite.

Stay away from those foods and restaurants that may temp you to make unhealthy choices. Create cravings for healthier foods by visiting new restaurants that have a healthier menu option.

Create a shopping list when going to the store to avoid picking up items you don't need. Stay out of the isles in the food store that will temp you to pick up something that may not be the best choice for you.

Controling our appetite is important, but it can also be hard at first. Your mind is programed to choose the unhealthy items and now you must reprogram it to choose that which is healthy. Your taste buds have also been programed to like these items and they too must be reprogramed. They say it takes 21 days to form a new habit. So try making healthier choices for 21 days and see how much easier it will be when it's time to choose the healthier choice. Consider having a check in buddy that will help you whenyour having those cravings. 

It will be all worth it in the end. And trust me your body will thank you for it :)

Habits.....

Habits once formed are hard to overcome. Make smart choices. Healthy habits. One step at a time :)

Stimulants......

Spice food, cakes, pastries, rich gravies, highly seasoned food irritate the stomach causing cravings for stronger stimulants. Try eliminating or cutting down on one or more of the above for 10 days and then try it for 20 days. Your body will thank you for it :)

Strengthen your stomach.....

Food either weakens or strengthens the organs of the stomach. Why not strengthen it :)

Take care of your temple.......

The greatest cause of human suffering is ignorance on the subject of how to treat our own bodies.

Natural Disinfectants........

Why should I read the Bible?

Check out this link with an article on why you should read your Bible.

Life is what we make it, and we shall find what we look for.....

Do not allow the perplexities and worried of everyday life to fret your mind and cloud your brow. If you do, you will always have something to vex and annoy. Life is what we make it, and we shall find what we look for. If we look for sadness and trouble, if we are in a frame of mind to magnify little difficulties, we shall find plenty of them to engross our thoughts and our conversation. But if we look on the bright side of things, we shall find enough to make us cheerful and happy. If we give smiles, they will be returned to us; if we speak pleasant cheerful words, they will be spoken to us again. 

When Christians appear as gloomy and depressed as though they thought themselves friendless, they give a wrong impression of religion. 

Earnest Christians seek to imitate Jesus, for to be Christians is to be Christlike. 

We need more Christ and less worldliness, more Christ and less selfishness. 

All married couples.....

Love what you do...

Ever wondered what's in a Cigarette?

Why should we be ungrateful and distrustful?

Many look back on the Israelites, and marvel at their unbelief and murmuring, feeling that they themselves would not have been so ungrateful; but when their faith is tested, even by little trials, they manifest no more faith or patience than did ancient Israel. Though their present needs are supplied, many are unwilling to trust God for the future, and they

 are in constant anxiety lest poverty shall come upon them, and their children shall be left to suffer. Some are always anticipating evil or magnifying the difficulties that really exist, so that their eyes are blinded to the many blessings which demand their gratitude. The obstacles they encounter, instead of leading them to seek help from God, the only Source of strength, separate them from Him, because they awaken unrest and repining. Why should we be ungrateful and distrustful? Jesus is our friend: all of heaven is interested in our welfare; and our anxiety and fear grieve the Holy Spirit of God....It is not the will of God that His people should be weighed down with care. But our Lord does not tell us that there are no dangers in our path. He does not propose to take His people out of the world of sin and evil, but He points us to a never-failing refuge. He invites the weary and care-laden, "Come unto Me, all that labor and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest." Matt.11:28,29 In view of all that God has wrought for us, our faith should be strong, active, and enduring. Instead of murmuring and complaining, the language of our hearts should be, "Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits." Psalm 103:1,2
