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.

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.

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.
