Spend time daily in God's Word. A healthy relationship with Him is the best
beauty treatment available because it works from the inside out! And
toss the guilt about the time and resources it takes to care for yourself.
When you're at your best---spirit, mind, and body--you can better serve
and give to others.

Eat fish at least twice a week. The fatty acids will improve your hair and skin.

If you take a multi-vitamin, that's fine, just don't go overboard. You don't need 1,000 percent of any vitamin or mineral.

Switch to whole-grain bread with at least 2 grams of fiber per serving.

Walk at least 30 minutes daily.

Avoid fast food and prepackaged foods; the sodium content is hard on your body and skin. Cook at home to have more control of what's going into your body.

Don't starve yourself; your body needs nutrients to function well.

Resistance train. Women over 40 lose a half pound of muscle a year. This slows the metabolism, packs on fat, and makes everyday tasks more difficult.

Break your routine, and try new activities to keep your brain and body stimulated.

Don't slouch. Mom was right; it makes you look older. Keep your shoulders back and your head up.

Spend time with family and friends who build you up and encourage you:love:

Limit time with those who sap your energy. :secret:

Keep a food and exercise log. People typically underestimate food consumption by almost 600 calories a day and overestimate their level of activity.

Sleep at least seven to eight hours a night.

Stay hydrated, preferably with water.

Limit sun exposure and use sunscreen.

Learn to deal with stress. Exercise can help.

Excellent post sister! Thank you for sharing this with us
 
Dreamer,

Thanks for this post it's a piece of gold! I especially like the one about limiting time with those that sap your energy. It is very true.

Another secret to add is to eat at least 5 or more portions of fruit and veg each day. In other countries I believe the recommended requirement is even more! After all we must look after the temple!

Also breakfast is physically a very important meal.

God Bless

Eve:love:
 
You are so right....about everything you said, Eve. At the moment I am overfull....because I ate no breakfast....ate lunch at 12:30 and stuffed myself, now I will be sick and full the rest of the day....ugh

Without breakfast, I always manage to make a pig of myself later in the day.

Been trying to replace vegetables for all the bread and pasta I used to eat. Not that bread and pasta are bad....I just ate too much of them.
 
Amen. All good instruction. Keep it coming. It is said of Moses "that his eye was not dimmed nor his natural force abated" not bad for 120 years.


God is good to all who love him....Amen. The bible exhorts that we be wise. Without doubt the exercise of wisdom in our daily lives, and diet, cannot be any other than of benifit.

Appreciate the post.
