Sweat Equity

So you've heard you're supposed to exercise at least 30 minutes a day three times per week but you just can't seem to find the time to squeeze that into your busy schedule.

Here's something to ponder:  We all have been given the same number of hours in a day to accomplish this or that.  The difference between those who achieve much and those who acccomplish little lies in the choices they make.

Far be it from me to advise someone on exercise.  Suffice it to say that today I will once again go "below deck"  (aka the basement!) and jump on the mini-trampoline, get on the stairstepper and walk on the treadmill -- all while listening to our very cool jukebox!   "C'mon, Baby, Do the Locomotion with me"!

Want to have a more positive outlook on life?  Get your body movin'!  Want more energy?  Get your body movin'!  Want fewer aches and pains?  Get that body movin'! 

Hate to exercise?  Surely there is something that you enjoy doing that will give your body some aerobic and cardiovascular benefits.  Do you like to swim, bike, hike, run, walk, dance?  Maybe you enjoy playing tennis or raquetball.  Or maybe you're like me:  all ya gotta do is put on some upbeat music that you love and before you know it, you're dancin' and movin' to beat the band!

Whatever it is, just do it! 

Put it in your schedule just like you would any other important appointment.  You'll be so glad you did!

Ten Golden Rules of Health



1. Stop putting poisons into the body. (White flour, white sugar, soft drinks, over-the-counter medications, fried foods, etc.)


2. It takes 5 -7 times as much nutrition to build and repair as it does to maintain.


3. Nothing in the human body heals in less than 3 months; add one month for every year that you have been sick.


4. Have moderation in all things.


5. Make peace with nature.


6. Live closer to God. (Might I say 'Make peace with God and live closer to nature'?)


7. Take resposnsibility for yourself and your health.


8. Eat as much raw food as possible. (And drink plenty of pure water!)


9. Exercise regularly the rest of your life.


10. Practice and learn to understand completely Hering's Law of Cure, which is "All cure starts from within out and from the head down and in reverse order as the symptoms have appeared."


This was taken from the Nutrition That Works Testimonial booklet -- stories of people whose health has changed for the better as a result of incorporating some of the above as well as using the AIM products such as BarleyLife, JustCarrots, RediBeets and HerbalFiber Blend -- whole food powders full of live enzymes which feed the bodies' cells and thereby give us LIFE!



Hosea 4:6 says: "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge."



By reading this, our knowledge has increased concerning maintaining a healthy body. What will we DO with this knowledge? Will we act on it or will we continue to do as we've always done and NOT take control of our own health and well-being?


I, for one, am headed to the mini-trampoline!
