Accepting Responsibility for Your Health is Necessary
Health Information for Nutrition by Ellen J. Barrier
In our daily life being able to accept responsibility for
our judgment is absolutely necessary.
We start with our health, and character. It is our decision
to choose the food we eat, whether we want to exercise and how we behave toward others. A healthy attitude reduces stress that can
cause body aches and discomfort.
Eating the right food and getting the nutrition needed for
your body to function properly and exercising is making a rational judgment by accepting the responsibility for your
health. Having self-control is important. For Example, a vegetable salad with lots of
shredded cheese and dressing staked on top is an
unhealthy salad.
When I get a box of chocolates, I will eat 1 or 2
pieces of the candy. I do not eat the whole box of chocolates.
If we allow ourselves to eat without having limits as to how much we should eat, we risk allowing the food to control us. Poor health is the result of poor health habits, caused by poor judgment.

How much we eat and how the food is prepared is important to
our health.
Meat that is broiled, baked, or grilled, are preferable to me for good health. Steamed vegetables, fresh fruits, cereal, and nuts are good food sources. In the book, How to Trust God When All Other Resources Have Failed Chapter 8 NUTRITION God’s Way For Mankind, the reader will find the following information.

Foreign Objects Inserted in the Body Orifices for Sexual Pleasures Can be Harmful
Woman Lose a Thermometer in Her Bladder
I assisted the urologist on this case
At 10:00 a.m., on a weekday morning, a young woman was
brought into the operating room in a state of fright. Her X-rays revealed a
thermometer cross way inside her urinary bladder. When asked how did the
thermometer get into her bladder? She
stated, “My girlfriend and I were playing around with the thermometer to see
how hot we could get, and I lost the thermometer.”
Because of the position of
the thermometer in her bladder, the urologist could not remove it, and had to
get a surgeon to perform a major operation on this woman, to remove the
thermometer from her urinary bladder.
The urologist informed me that in all the many years of his
profession, he has never witnessed anything of this nature. He said, he has
removed match sticks from the urethral meatus of some males, who insert them in
their penis to maintain an erection.
*Foreign objects inserted into the urethral meatus, or any
part of the body orifices for sexual pleasures can be dangerous to do. It can
cause an infection that can lead to serious complication, resulting in a
medical procedure to remove the object or major operation.
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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
