Healthy Eating On Vacation

When you are on vacation, you may be surrounded by fast food options, theme parks filled with food such as cotton candy and funnel cakes, and a lack of exercise opportunities.  In addition, the long hours spent traveling by car or plane does not benefit a healthy lifestyle.  Fortunately, there are some tips and tricks you can take to make your vacation as healthy as possible.
Prior to Departure
Some of the worst eating on a vacation comes in the airport. For this reason it is extremely important to ensure that you eat a hearty and nutritious meal prior to your departure so that you don’t feel the need to indulge in the temptations in the airport. If you have a long layover make sure to pack along some healthy snacks that you can munch on. If need be try to navigate the airport to find a healthy salad or grilled chicken meal that will fill your belly while providing you with healthy essentials.
Researching Healthy Hotel Options
When you are planning your vacation, try to find a health conscious hotel and area. Pay special attention to amenities around the hotel and area, such as pools, fitness rooms, and breakfast included in the hotel.  This can be difficult but I’ve found is most effective by browsing various websites to research travel reviews.  When you read the reviews, try to discover what is included in the hotel breakfast.  Hotels often include a selection of yogurt and fruit in their continental breakfast, which is a healthy alternative to waffles and bacon. Ask about nearby walking trails or other fitness related activities that are within walking distance to your hotel.  These would be a good way to keep your fitness level up while you are away from home. I took a trip to Miami of late and found a great site that allowed me to read reviews regarding the hotels, restaurants, and even things to do. This helped me to find a work out class nearby on the beach in the morning right by my hotel!
Snacks for Your Hotel Room
If your hotel has a small refrigerator in the room, consider purchasing yogurt, string cheese, or fruits to keep in the room.  The protein and complex carbohydrates in the oatmeal and cheese will help keep you feeling full for a longer period of time. This will help you avoid the temptation of the hotel vending machine or room service when you get hungry. 
Another idea to help you eat healthy and save money is to bring a small crockpot on your vacation. You can make simple and healthy meals in your hotel room, such as chicken, rice, and steamed vegetables. 
Eating Out At Restaurants
When you do need to eat out on vacation, it can be hard to find healthy alternatives that taste good.  Look on the restaurant menu for key words such as baked, broiled, or grilled.  Ask for sauces on the side and remove the skin from chicken.  Making these small substitutions will save calories while not affecting the taste of your meal. 
If you have a choice of a side dish with your meal, add extra steamed or fresh vegetables.  This will give you more food for a small amount of calories, and you will also get the added bonus of nutritious vitamins. If you do not feel like you are getting a wide variety of nutrients on vacation, consider bringing your regular multi-vitamin with to supplement your food choices.
By taking these tips into consideration when you are planning your vacation, you will be able to incorporate healthy food options into your trip and avoid calorie-laden junk food.  Bringing your own snacks, researching hotels, and smart restaurant choices are all things you can do to keep you healthy while on vacation.

How to Keep Healthy Skin



To keep healthy skin, it must be cared for properly.
How we treat our skin will determine its health.
For many years I spent several hours gardening daily during the summer months.
In the year of 2010, I noticed my skin started showing dryness and darkening.
I begin spending less time in my garden.  I wanted the healthy skin I once had.
I came to the conclusion that I had to stay out of the sun for this to happen.
In the year of 2011, I stopped gardening. When the weather is hot, I stay inside.
My skin texture, tone and hue, shows the success of a healthy diet, getting the proper rest, lowering my stress level, and staying out of the sun during the summer months, have been successful for me.

Freedom and Peace Requires an “All Hands on the World Approach”

To pursue freedom and peace, we must come together as one people to fight against things that prevent freedom and peace.   We start by taking an “All Hands on The World Approach”
Elect leaders who work to solve problems rather than cause them. All Leaders should be willing to Solve their differences with leaders of other countries peacefully.  War should not be an option in this modern day period.

Vote leaders out of their positions who are dividing the citizens by their bias behavior with certain people.  A leader should have the best interest of all the people in his or her plans to carry out the job he or she was elected to do.

 Spiritual Leaders should always stand with the people and demand righteous behavior from elected politicians. When righteousness prevails, all of the people needs are met.

The Fight against Violence

It is clear that many young people are committing acts of violence against others, and destroying property.  This behavior is out of control. The teachings of moral values and personality traits have been ignored in many families. The results are a society of violent behavior that has made our world unsafe. Some parents are afraid of their children. This should never be the case.

Two Brothers Kicked of their Elementary School Due to Bad Behavior

The mother of these two children told me they are in third and fourth grade.  And that she does not understand why her children are so bad.  She said she has to teach them herself, because they are too bad for school.  Her problem is fear of being attacked by her sons.  She said when she went into their bedroom to get them up to begin their homework they chased her out, and told her to stay out of their room!  According to the mother, their father lives in the same house with the three of them.

Problems caused by out- of-control- behavior; that exists in many families are released into society.  The responsibility rests upon the shoulders of all of us to work together, and do the job these parents have not done. Those who have children in their care, the schools; and our spiritual leaders can help teach children and their parents, the importance of having respect for others, and for themselves.

Let's place our hands on the world, and work together for freedom, and justice for all people.  
And peace will exist in the world.

*These are health issues we are dealing with worldwide: hunger, diseases, sicknesses, and loss of lives that makes this of a serious concern in the health industry and to others.  

Recommend to Read:  Volume 5
The Cause of Sicknesses and Diseases
This volume is filled with medical knowledge from the study of Microbiology and Biblical that gives us insight of how sickness and disease entered into the world.

The Subconscious Mirror


You are the one who has to be in control of your life. You have to define who you are. If  you don't, someone else will.
We have the ability to write the blueprint for our own goals, and decide how we want to pursue them. If we allow others to do it for us, we won’t achieve our full potential to be the best we can be.
Through prayer we gain strength and hope.

Depression is a Cry for Help

Signs: worrying, irritability, ,sleeplessness, hopelessness, low energy and sadness.
                                       
Depression is a Cry for Help

The depressed person needs someone to trust.
 He or she is in need of someone to open up to, and express
 their innermost feelings.

 The need is to trust someone with his or her personal feelings. 
They need a shoulder to lean on that is supportive and trustworthy.
Most people aren’t looking for advice. They only want someone who
will listen to them and understand their need, and is patient with them.
Meeting the depressed person at his or her point of need is important.

The depressed person can’t heal, by holding their feelings inside.
Willing to allow them to cry if they should tear up, letting them know
you are there for them is love expressed.
Sometimes Love is the best medicine.

Freedom and Peace


Without freedom, there is no peace.
The soul of the human being yearns for freedom and peace.
To experience the spirit of peace, one must have freedom.
Neither can be obtained without the other.

Exercise Is Not Enough



“My holy of holies is the human body; health, intelligence, talent, inspiration, love, and absolute freedom-freedom from violence and falsehood, no matter how the last two manifest themselves.” Anton Chekhov

When we view the statement above and the thoughts of the Apostle Paul on the human body, we can agree that exercise alone, is not enough to qualify for complete fulfillment of a healthy body; 
that would include the mind and soul within each individual.

The Apostle Paul clearly believed that there are benefits for the body through exercising, but more is needed to fully benefit the whole person.  Paul stated “For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.” 1Timothy 4:8 (King James Version)

Spirituality plays an Important Role in Good Health

“Look to your health; and if you have it, praise God, and value it next to a good conscience; for health is the second blessing that we mortals are capable of; a blessing that money cannot buy.”
_Izaak Walton

Health is something that is very valuable and should never be taken for granted.  We should do all that is possible to take good care of our health. And encourage others to do the same. Prayers are always needed for God’s intervention, being that he is the one who designed our body.

In order for a person to be complete and to have a healthy body, a healthy diet, and a healthy mind is needed, along with a good exercising program.  When a person only exercise, eat unhealthy foods, and have no spiritual consciousness they will tire quicker, and their stress level will be higher.

Be blessed in health and happiness.

The Importance of Exercise for a Healthy Heart




When we exercise our body parts, we are exercising our heart.  Exercising increases the efficiency of contraction and output of the heart per beat. 


The heart of a physically fit person has an increase in blood output per heartbeat. Therefore, such an individual’s heart does not need to beat as fast during exercise.  The demand on the heart output (blood pumped per minute) remains constant while resting. Therefore, the heart rate that is needed to maintain this output is less in a physically fit person.

During Rest:  Blood Flow per Minute
Brain__   ½ pint (0.25 liter)
Skin__ 1 pint (0.5 liter)
Muscles__ 2 pints (1 liter)
Coronary arteries ½ pint (0.25 liter)
Digestive system /liver__ 3 pints (1.5 liters)
Kidneys 1 ½ pints (0.75 liter)
Your body makes enormous demands on your heart under different conditions.  At rest, the total blood volume is pumped in about one minute.

During Exercise: Blood Flow per Minute
Brain__  ½ pint (0.25 liter)
Skin___ 4 pints (2 liters)
Muscles__ 24 pints (12 liters)
Coronary arteries __ 1 ½ pints (0.75 liter)
Digestive System /liver__ 1 pint (0.5 liter)
Kidneys__ 1 ½ pints (0.75 liter)
During strenuous exercise, there is a major change in the rate of blood flow through different parts of the body. This is brought about by changes in the degree of constriction of the small arteries.

Anorexia Nervosa: the Effects



Anorexia means loss of appetite.
This is a very serious health problem. In Latin, "Nervosa" means nervous. The body's Nervous System is attacked by this eating disorder.
Anorexia Nervosa is a condition in which its victims starves themselves. This disorder has taken the lives of many females. Its victims are teenage girls and young adult females, although some young males are said to suffer from this disease as well.


The Effects of Anorexia Nervosa, is done by the interference of starvation that disrupts the biochemistry makeup of the body's systems.


The Effects of Anorexia Nervosa:

Hair loss, dull looking hair
Depression
Emaciation
Excessive fatigue
Sleep disturbance
Hormone imbalance
Amenorrhea (lack of monthly cycles)
Constipation
Halitosis
Corroded teeth
Slow pulse
Brittle fingernails
Low blood pressure upon standing
May have difficulty sleeping

                                         Behavior of the Anorexia Nervosa  Individual

The characteristic behavior of Anorexia Nervosa is secretive and defensive. The individual is preoccupied with food and weight gain, that dominates their thought process. They often feels hungry but denies they are. They will normally wear larger clothes to conceal their body shape and weight loss.

The person suffering from Anorexia Nervosa, may resort to drugs and alcohol, to alleviate the feeling of hunger and depression. Having a relationship with someone is very difficult for this individual to do, because of the psychological state of their mind. Therefore, they are often in an isolated position, due to one or more failed relationships.

This condition is a psychological illness which causes the victim to believe they are overweight, when in reality they are very thin. Those who suffer from Anorexia Nervosa induces starvation due to fear that they will become 'fat' if they loose control over their diet, and possibly their life.

Anorexia Nervosa has taken the lives of thousands of females. This disorder can easily affect those who are obsessed with having a thin body. Many who suffers from this condition reportedly, have been hospitalized several times. Some have died by suicide or by starvation, although they were treated in a hospital.

Exercise instructions with Audio and Music by Ellen Jean Barrier



Bring each knee up to the chest ten times slowly (do not straighten the legs)

Bring both knees up to the chest 
(you should feel your abdominal muscles tighten) Hold this position for thirty counts while deep breathing. (repeat several time)

While lying in this position, take three deep breaths and slowly lift yourself up to a sitting position, never let go of your knees. Slowly return to the previous position, and rock your body back and forth by using your hands to support your knees.


To help you with your exercise, I have put together my own personal exercise program. Dancing to the instructions on the video will help you to exercise all of your extremities. 



Attitude and confidence will determine success or failure in every goal we set before us.
To invest energy and time in a sound health and fitness program, with the goal in mind to finish with great success, is a positive attitude with confidence.
For many people, who are beginners in a weight management program; exercising and eating foods that are healthier than the things they normally ate prior to the program are now, a big challenge for them.
There are other adjustments that are needed to be made in order to have a healthy body;
The student needs to know that health and fitness involves the whole person (body, mind and spirit)
Therefore, personality traits should be involved, poor eating habits, lack of enough rest, smoking, and things that are not healthy for the body, would be addressed in a good health and fitness program.
Quitting the Program or Staying

For many people, having to change their way of doing things is too much of a challenge for them. They hate the workouts because it causes them to move muscles and joints in ways they are not comfortable with.  They hate the pain and soreness.  And there are those who refuse to follow instructions.  Some will give up, and quit the program, and some will continue to the end.
Those who endure the discomfort until they reach their goal have a healthier body that is in good physical and mental condition.  They feel great about themselves.
To maintain health and fitness or to be successful in reaching goals, the right attitude is to never quit.  Confidence is to keep the vision alive, by seeing a victory ahead that is worth fighting for.

Recommended Food Groups for Proper Nutrition






Protein is one of a class of complex nitrogenous compounds which occurs naturally in plants and animals, and gives amino acids when hydrolyzed. Because of the amino acid, they contain, proteins are essential to growth and tissue repair.

Proteins are a source of heat and energy to the body. They are essential for growth, the building of new tissue, the repair of injured or broken-down tissue, and the repair of the protoplasm of every cell. They are oxidized in the body, thus liberating heat.

Amino Acids are the building blocks of which proteins are constructed, and the end products of protein digestion or hydrolysis. Unused amino acids are converted into urea, the chief nitrogenous constituent of urine and the final product of protein metabolism in the body.


Sources of Protein 
Poultry: chicken, duck, goose, and turkey.
Organ Meat: liver, brain, kidney and sweetbread.
Eggs (excellent source of protein)
Fish  (good source of protein)

Corn is used frequently in our diets. It contains  micronutrients, water, fiber, and other substances contained in a food; corn contains 74% of water. 20% of Macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins)  0.1% or less of Micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) 5%  Dietary fiber, water and macronutrients form the largest part of most foods. While micronutrients are present in much smaller amounts, Fiber is present in varying degrees in those foods of plant origins.

The Anatomy of the Human Body


This diagram of the human body shows a range of organs that are important to human anatomy. They include the brain, heart, lungs, spleen, muscles, stomach, kidneys and more.

The human body is built like a complicated machine that only its creator completely understands its operation; and has the infinite wisdom to rebuild it. It is extraordinarily professionally created.

Nutrition


In order for food to be used by your body, all of the carbohydrates must be broken down into monosaccharides, simple sugars (glucose, fructose and galactose) in the stomach and intestines. They are absorbed in the bloodstream and can be used in various ways by the body.
Carbohydrates are chemical substances grouped together: sugars, glycogen, starches, dextrins, and celluloses, that contain only carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. Carbohydrates are one of the three classes of nutrients. They are formed by green plants which utilize the sun's energy to combine carbon dioxide, and water in forming them.

Definitions:
1. Monosaccharides-a simple sugar which cannot be decomposed by hydrolysis (fructose, galactose,    glucose)
                   

How the Body uses Sugar from Food

I. Glucose
a. Used directly by the body as a source of energy
II. How it is achieved:
b. The pancreas secrets Insulin (hormone)
III. Galactose and Fructose
c.  Converted into glucose in the liver

Note: Glucose can be converted into glycogen (Polysaccharide) stored in the liver or muscles for the body's future energy requirements.
   
Fats
Provides energy in concentrated forms both visible and invisible.
Visible Fat: butter, lard, margarine and oils.
Invisible Fat: meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, chocolate, nuts and legumes.

II. Transportation of Fats in the Blood
a. Carried in the bloodstream bound to protein, forming particles called lipoproteins.

Note: Most of the fats in food are triglycerides. (a combination of three fatty acids with glycerol)
Some foods contain small amounts of cholesterol. The fats in food eaten are dissolved in the intestine by the action of bile salts. This process takes place from the triglycerides split into glycogen and fatty acids entering into the walls of the intestine, and reconstructed into triglycerides which are absorbed through the lymphatic system and carried to the bloodstream.

At the same time the process of fatty acids are being absorbed, the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K are absorbed. One interesting point I will make, cholesterol can be absorbed into the lymphatic system without the need to be broken down prior.

Food and Nutrients



There are essential nutrients that we need to consume in order to have a healthy body. 

Protein provides amino acids for body growth and tissue repair. 




Vitamins produce varieties of processes, such as the production of energy inside body cells and the growth and division of cells. According to report on nutrition, a total of 13 vitamins must be provided by the diet. 

Minerals are chemical elements, such as calcium and iron, they are needed for growth and to facilitate processes that occurs within the body. There are said to be 16 minerals that must be provided by the diet.

In the diagram we see fruits, vegetables, and fruit juice along with cheese. These are all good nutrients. Meat and poultry are also good food items to choose in our diet.

Meat and Poultry are Sources of Protein

These are some other important sources of protein, minerals and vitamin B. To lower the fat intake from meat, removing the skin is recommended. Poultry contains less iron than red meat does, according to report on nutrition. Examples of lean meat: beef, lamb, pork and veal.

Poultry: chicken, duck, goose, and turkey.
Organ Meat: liver, brain, kidney and sweetbread.
Eggs (excellent source of protein)
Fish  (good source of protein)

Note: Ocean fish is said to contain iodine and selenium in useful amounts. Darker fish such as salmon and tuna was reported to contain more fat than cod and flounder, the whiter fish. The fat in the oily fish is higher in unsaturated fatty acids, the desirable type for those having a high blood cholesterol level.

The Digestive System


The purpose of the digestive system or tract, is to process or break down food for absorption from the intestines into the bloodstream. It also, expels waste products from the body. The digestive system, also called the alimentary canal consists of the mouth, teeth, tongue, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, and large intestines. The accessory glands are salivary glands, liver, and pancreas. They are called accessory glands for their ability to assist other organs in performing their functions, as accessory reproductive organs.

The Anatomy and Physiology of the Body Systems


To put it simple, Anatomy is the structure of the body parts, and Physiology is how each of the body parts function. Let's start with the inner parts of the body, called the systems which are the structure of the body parts, and after which, we will list the function of each system. The body is built like a sophisticated machine that only its creator completely understand its operations. After studying Anatomy and Physiology, I understood clearly what the writer of Psalm 139: 14 meant by his statement as noted below.



  "I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well."  

We can conclude that the body systems are an organized group of organs or cells related to each other. Where as each organ performs a specific or a certain function. Let's begin with the Circulatory System.

The heart is a hollow muscular contractible organ that is the center of the Circulatory System. It is divided into 4 chambers. There are two upper champers with thin walls and two lower chambers with thick walls.
The two upper chambers are called the atria (left and right). The two lower chambers are called ventricles.
The two sides of the heart are separated by a strong muscular wall known as the septum. There are several valves in the heart. They are; Pulmonary, Tricuspid, Mitral, and Aortic. Each valve is lined with a membrane called Endocardium.

The muscle of the heart is called, Myocardium. Inside of this muscle, there are fibers that forms a network of branches called arteries and veins. The Aorta, is the largest artery in the body. It leads from the left ventricle and supplies the body with oxygenated blood.

The Pulmonary artery leads from the right ventricle. It divides into two branches that supply used blood to the right and left lungs.

Inside of the heart is lined with a smooth membrane called the Endocardium.
Pericardium is a tough membrane that is double-layered covering the heart as a bag.
There is a space between the two layers of Pericardium and Endocardium that contains a thin layer of fluid that lubricates and allows free movement of the heart muscle within the outer bag.

Being that the heart works hardest of all the muscles in the body, it has large energy requirements that need  an adequate supply of fresh oxygenated blood to maintain its actions, as all of the muscles in the body do.

The heart has a network of branches which is its own system of arteries, capillaries, and veins exclusively for its own blood supply. This system is call the Coronary. The reason behind the name is due to the arteries surround the upper portion of the heart like a crown. The word "Corona" in Latin mean crown. Both the right and left Coronary arteries arise from the beginning of the Aorta. From that point, smaller branches  pass into the heart. The left artery is divided into two large branches; Right Coronary artery and left Coronary artery.

Information:

1. The heart rate is approximate 70 beats per minute at rest for an adult.
2.  During strenuous exercise, the heart rate can become 200 beats per minute.
3.  The heart contracts about 100,000 times per day and more than 2.5 billion times
       in an average lifetime.                    
4.  The heart pumps at least 9 pints (4.5 liters) of blood per minute.
5.  The heart pumps about 1,500 gallons (6,000 liters) of blood daily.
6.  The heart generates enough power in a day to drive a truck 20 miles.


The Body Systems:

1. circulatory - circulates body fluids. It includes both cardiovascular
       (heart and blood vessels) and the lymphatic systems


 2. digestive - is defined as the Alimentary Canal. This includes the mouth, teeth, tongue,
pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, accessory glands (salivary glands, liver, pancreas)

3. endocrine- ductless glands that produces an internal secretion discharged into the blood
  or lymph. It is then circulated into all of  the body parts.
       
4.  hematopoietic _ has to do with the production and development of  blood cells.
     
 5.  integumentary- consists of the skin, hair and nails and its appendages.
                                                                               
6.  lymphatic-circulates lymph. It includes lymph vessels, lymphatic organs
            (lymph nodes, ducts, tonsils, thymus, spleen)                  


 7.  muscular- includes all of the muscles (smooth, cardiac, striated, and skeletal)

  8. nervous - consists of the brain, ganglia, spinal cord and nerves

  9.  reproductive-includes the gonads, their structure association and ducts.

 10. respiratory- consists of the air passageway and organs (nasal cavities, oral cavity
       pharynx, trachea, and lungs (bronchi, bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli. 

11.  skeletal- The bony framework of the body.

 12.  urinary - Secreting or containing urine.
