PHYSICAL & NUTRITION
Physical
I got my Nike' running shoes in the mail this weekend. Time for me to work and walk it out! LOL
Exercising is like a curse word to me. LOL I don't like it.....and i used to run like a deer and practically live outside as a child and teenager. Go figure, but when I get off of work...I'm going to work out and i'll let you all know how that worked out on tomorrow.

In the mean time, here's a 30minute exercise video for you to work-out with. Have a great WO!

Nutrition
Earlier, I mentioned some fantastic superfoods. Well, here is a little information about them.


What are SUPERFOODS?
Superfoods get their reputation for being the healthiest, most nutritious foods around. From fresh summer fruits and vegetables to rich dark chocolate to nuts and grains, these foods are nutritional powerhouses. Just one bite, sip, or slurp of these healthy recipes has the ability to decrease cancer risk, improve heart function, and/or fight infection. To achieve maximum health benefits, try to add these foods into your daily diet.

Cranberries

- The Cranberry is naturally low in sodium, calories and fat.
- The Cranberry contains zero cholesterol
- The Cranberry is a natural diuretic.
- The Cranberry boosts immunity.
- The Cranberry enhances iron absorption in the body, as well as calcium absorption.
- The Cranberry provides about 2 grams of fiber per 1/2 cup.

- The Cranberry also has a high contains calcium and potassium

Almonds

HEALTH BENEFITS OF EATING ALMONDS
Eating a handful of almonds (about 23) on a regular basis can:
  • Decrease the risk of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, and other chronic illnesses
  • Lower "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and increase "good cholesterol (HDL) levels.
  • Decrease levels of homocystein, the amino acid that is thought to contribute to the buildup of fatty plaque in the arteries
  • Aid in weight loss because munching on almonds for a snack helps you feel satisfied and less inclined to overeat at mealtime.

Okay....this is getting kinda long! LOL So just go to http://www.nutritiondata.com/ and type in the name of the food that you want to know the nutritional value of and this site will give it to you.

MAKE SURE THAT YOU DRINK YOU 8-8oz. OF WATER AND WORKOUT TODAY!!!

SPIRITUAL TIPS

Scripture for the day: II Chronicles 7:14

FINANCIAL TIPS

This past weekend, I bought a few groceries and they were like $90. Then I looked in my cabinets and fridge and saw a bunch of nothing. Purchasing healthy foods are more expensive than buying unhealthy foods. Why is that? I believe the the government stages it like that so we can die early. LOL Seriously!

So my financial tip to you today is to budget your money for the rest of the month and balance your checking account. Many of us have savings accounts, but they don't give you much of a return. I suggest that you find a Primerica respresentative and talk to them about investing your money and helping you to obtain a Life Insurance Policy that will be actually worth something if the person dies.

Well.............i'm out people...tired and sleepy.

Talk to you all 2morrow! Have a blessed day.
