Health...to the extreme

Today I took a "Health & Wellness" class. It was VERY informative and I thought I'd share a little of the very useful information.

First of all, why is health important?

"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, Who is in you, Whom you have received from God?...So use every part of your body to give back to God..." 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

"You were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body." 1 Corinthians 6:20

Did you know?
The heart weighs less than one pound and yet beats approximately 40 million times per minute.
The energy output of the heartbeat in a 24-hour period alone is enough to raise three fully-loaded Greyhound buses off the ground.
The lungs use about 90-gallons of pure oxygen per day.
We take approximately 9-million breaths per year!
(And that's just a few of the amazing facts I learned!)

Healthy decisions: make a choice! Pure & sufficient or toxic & deficient?

So... move well (exercise!), eat well (lots of water, for example; and did you know that breakfast and lunch should be your biggest meals because you need the energy to get through the day? But dinner does have to be so big, because the food will not get burned off), and think well (the body achieves what the mind believes).

Life is...
a gift, open it
a joy, share it
a pleasure, have some
a ball, catch it
a game, play it
an experience, live it
an offer, accept it
a dream, make it come true!

(This is all thanks to Drs. Anthony & Stephanie Lanzara...amazing and informative class!)

By the way, watch the movie, Supersize Me. It's GROSS but you'll never want to eat at McDonald's again! Trust me!
