THE REDEEMED CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF GOD

PRAYER POINTS FOR 2014 ONE HUNDRED DAYS FAST

Options for completing 100-Day fast for RCCG members worldwide beginning 2nd January 2014:

(1) Fast for 100 days & break daily at 6pm;

(2) Take only liquid while fasting for 30 days (this is equivalent to the complete 100-day fast);

(3) Take only liquid while fasting for 21 days (this is equivalent to 63 days of the 100-day fast);

(4) Take only liquid while fasting for 14 days (this is equivalent to one [1] month of the 100-day fast); and

(5) Take only liquid while fasting for 7 days (this is equivalent to 14 days of the 100-day fast).

2 Kings 13:15-19

“And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. And he took unto him bow and arrows. And he said to the king of Israel; Put thine hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it: and Elisha put his hands upon the king’s hands. And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the Lord’s deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have consumed them. And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed. And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it: whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice.” (KJV)

The ‘bow and arrows‘ in the days of Elisha could be seen today as ‘fasting and prayers’. Like the Syrianns in Aphek, there are enemies in our land, in our family, in the Church and even in our lives that must be smitten. The siege is inevitable if they are not totally destroyed.

As we take our bow and arrows, we will not shoot for awhile and stop like the king of Israel erroneously acted. But we will shoot again and again “till every foe is vanquished and Christ is Lord indeed.”

These One Hundred Days of fasting and prayers are days of “the arrow of the Lord’s deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from our enemies: we shalt smite the enemies around us till we have consumed them.Just as Elisha was sent to the king, God has sent our father-in- the- Lord, Daddy E. A. Adeboye, to the Church to take the arrows and shoot. Let’s take our bow and arrows and shoot continuously to experience VICTORIOUS OVERFLOW over our enemies, this New Year.

Happy New Year – happy overflow.

How to Prevent Bad Breath

noreply@blogger.com (EniolaWealth) — Mon, 25 Nov 2013 01:38:00 -0500

1. The use of chewing gum, mouthwash, and candy are not adequate solutions for dealing with bad breath, as they do not address the root cause, which is improper hygiene. In fact, these substances can complicate hygiene issues if left in the mouth for a significant amount of time. Leafy green vegetables, lemons, and limes are much better cover-ups in emergencies when your toothbrush is not. Always remember to rinse thoroughly with water after each application of these miraculous breath-fresheners!

2. After you brush your teeth and scrape your tongue, rinse your mouth thoroughly and gargle with fresh, cool water. This is an important step, one that many people overlook. Nobody likes to smell your breath when it's laden with dirty, used toothpaste scum.

3. Brush your teeth and scrape your tongue first thing every morning, and after each time you take a nap. Foul-smelling bacteria have had a chance to take over your mouth while you slept, and are most likely causing yucky "morning breath." Tongue scrapers can be found in most health food stores, and also in drug stores and convenience stores as they become more popular.

4. Any time you notice that you have bad breath, rinse your mouth with water. If this doesn't work, then brush your teeth again. You may also need to scrape your tongue again. Always finish by rinsing with plenty of cool water.
5. After you eat or drink anything (besides water), thoroughly rinse your mouth and gargle with water. Use this practice without fail, day and night, and you will keep abreast of nasty bacteria buildup in your mouth, which cause bad breath. Run your tongue along the surfaces of your teeth throughout the day, and if you ever notice any plaque buildup, brush your teeth again and rinse thoroughly with water, making sure that you feel your teeth, not plaque buildup, which is a contributing factor in bad breath.

6. Drink plenty of fresh water every day, but try to avoid drinking water too close to meal times, as it can decrease your digestive capacity. Keeping your body properly hydrated assists in its own natural cleansing processes, and can help tackle bad breath.

7. Avoid eating sugary foods and processed foods in great amounts. These foods are not healthy for your body and will be a source of both teeth decay and an unhealthy body. A body that isn't functioning optimally can release a bad odor through the mouth and through sweat, so feed yourself with cleansing, healthy, and unprocessed foods most of the time and your breath will be fresh
8. Pungent foods and bad breath. Foods such as onion, garlic, and fish can cause bad breath -- even hours after you brush your teeth.

9. Bad habits = bad breath. Any type of smoking (cigarettes, cigars, pipe) or chewing tobacco can leave you with a really nasty taste -- and smell -- in your mouth.

10. Tummy troubles. Sometimes GI problems such as GERD or an ulcer can cause bad breath when you burp and gas is released. Also blame low-carb diets, which cause ketosis, a fat-burning state in the body that produces dragon breath.

The Nutrition of Titus Fish ( Mackerel)

noreply@blogger.com (EniolaWealth) — Wed, 13 Nov 2013 07:10:00 -0500

Mackerel is one of the highly recommended oily fish for a healthy diet. It is also known as maccarello. The slim torpedo-shaped fish is found in deep temperate and tropical waters. It is rich in essential oils, vitamins and minerals. Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids occur in high quantities in this fish. It contains vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, E and K. Various minerals also occur richly in the fish. These include calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, sodium and selenium. Trace minerals include zinc and copper. The fish also contains protein and the antioxidant Coenzyme Q10. The fish has several benefits to health.

Anti-Carcinogenic

Coenzyme Q10 helps to eliminate cancerous agents from afflicted cells. This improves cellular health. Antioxidants reduce the risk of some cancers. Omega-3 fatty acids can help to prevent breast, prostrate, renal and colon cancers. It has also been established that marine fatty acids hinder the proliferation of breast cancer cells. Several studies have concluded that essential fatty acids reduce the risk of breast cancer. The oily fish contains good amounts of vitamins B12 and selenium, which have been found helpful in the treatment of cancer.

Immunity

Mackerel fortifies the immune system. It supports the functions of organs that have been weakened by sickness. Omega-3 fatty acids act as an anti-inflammatory agent. They help in the management of arthritis. They also help to lower the risk of some cancers and heart disease. Coenzyme Q10 protects cells from damage that increases the risk of cancer. It also enhances the body's capacity to fight infections. It is a great item to be included in the diet of convalescents and those undergoing various treatments.

Cardiovascular

Inclusion of oily fish in the diet improves the condition of the blood. This promotes better heart health. Essential fatty acids help to thin the blood. This improves blood flow and lowers blood pressure. It prevents build-up of cholesterol in the blood and prevents constriction of arteries. Essential fatty acids reduce bad cholesterol levels yet maintain good cholesterol levels. They make blood vessels more elastic, which facilitates improved blood flow. Cleaner, thinner blood reduces the risk of heart attack and coronary heart disease. The rich calcium content in the fish also helps to normalize heartbeat and regulate blood pressure. To reduce the risk of heart disease, it is recommended that two servings of oily fish are included in the diet each week.

Brain and Nerve Development

High concentrations of Omega-3 fatty acids are found in the brain. It has been established that they play a vital role in cognitive and behavioral functions. This enhances memory and performance. It also prevents the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Essential fatty acids help to prevent problems of the central nervous system. They also facilitate the efficient transmission of nerve impulses. Essential fatty acids have been found helpful in the prevention of depression and dementia.

Although mackerel is a highly nourishing fish, it is recommended that pregnant and nursing mothers avoid it. The fish may contain elevated mercury levels, especially if sourced from polluted waters. When consumed by pregnant women, it could damage the child's developing nervous system. It also poses risks to the mother's health.

Nutrition & Health Benefits of Eating Mackerel

•Mackerel helps in reducing cancer-causing agents in cells, thus preventing the risk of different cancers.
•It regulates the hormone level and makes blood vessels and capillaries more elastic.
•By reducing blood coagulation, mackerel eliminates the deposition of cholesterol.
•The fish also helps in reducing the bad cholesterol (LDL) and lowering blood pressure.
•It prevents cardiovascular diseases, strengthens the immune system, improves functions of organs weakened by illness and regulates metabolism.
•Mackerel helps in easing the pain of migraine, arthrosis and arthritis. It also improves brain activity and thus, enhances the memory.

Buying & Storage Tips

•The eyes of fresh mackerel appear bright and clear. The gills should be clean and the skin moist, with tightly adhering, shiny scales.
•Select mackerel that is stiff and does not bend by its head or tail.
•While purchasing mackerel fillets or steaks, select the ones with moist, translucent flesh.
•While storing mackerel, remove it from the packet and wash well under cold water. Pat with paper towels and pace it on a cake rack, in a shallow pan filled with crushed ice. Cover with a foil and refrigerate in the coldest part.
•Wrap the mackerel well and store in the freezer for 2 months or deep-freeze it for 3 to 4 months.
•To thaw the fish, wrap and place it in a pan, uncovered. Leave it in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

10 Tips for living more happily, peacefully and mindfully.

noreply@blogger.com (EniolaWealth) — Tue, 12 Nov 2013 04:12:00 -0500

There are simple steps you can take today to begin living a healthier life.

1.Breathe deeply. Want to do something in the next five minutes that will change your life? Breathe deeply. Clinical health psychologist Amanda Withrow, Ph.D said that unconsciously “we breathe into our chest.”
The way we should be breathing, however, is diaphragmatically. “Diaphragmatic breathing is slow, deep breathing into our bellies.” It is an important stress management tool and great because it’s free, can be done anywhere and at any time. “What’s really cool these days is that there are smartphone applications that can guide you through deep breathing and help you to practice properly.” In fact, one of our World of Psychology bloggers, Summer Beretsky, covered three of them here.
2.Be mindful. Forget about that mounting to-do list, the fight you had with your best pal, or your Facebook update or Twitter account. Take time out to get back to the present moment. Withrow uses this exercise to help patients be more mindful. She asks them to list five things they see, hear, feel, smell or taste. Doing this helps pause worrying and refocuses attention on the present moment.Another way Withrow suggests we be more mindful is by paying attention to our inner dialogue. A lot of our thoughts are like the acronym for FEAR: false evidence appearing real. If you can learn to be mindful of your thoughts and think more objectively, it can have a positive impact on your behavior and your life.

3.Love yourself and then love your neighbor. In their pre-flight instructions, flight attendants demonstrate how to use the oxygen mask if needed, and tell passengers to put on their own mask first before helping others with theirs. The same applies to self-care.“It’s a distortion to think that self-care is selfish,” Lyon said. Realistically, you will not be able to help anyone else unless you first take care of yourself.

4.Take care of your physical health. This may be a shocker, but Lyon said that the optimum recommendation for physical activity (including aerobic exercise and strength training) is 90 minutes a day. That might seem overwhelming for most. But the good news is that 20 minutes three times a week or ten thousand steps a day is enough to help you increase longevity.

5.Make sleep and healthy eating priorities.Getting enough sleep is vital to your mental health and physical wellbeing. A healthy average is seven to nine hours a night. How many hours do you get on a regular basis?

6. Enjoy Ginger - The volatile oils in ginger have long made it a useful herbal remedy for nasal and chest congestion. Pour 2 cups of boiling water over a 1-inch piece of peeled, grated ginger; steep for 10 minutes; and strain. Add a pinch or two of cayenne pepper to the water and drink as needed.

7. Go Fish - If you suffer from dry eyes, up your seafood intake. Salmon, sardines, and mackerel contain omega-3 fatty acids, which the body uses to produce tears, among other things. Research suggests that people who consume higher amounts of these fats are less likely to have dry eyes.

8. Eat Bananas - People whose diets are rich in potassium may be less prone to high blood pressure. Besides reducing sodium and taking other heart-healthy steps, eat potassium-packed picks such as bananas, cantaloupe, and oranges.

9. Lyon said that making sure to eat regular, nutritious meals is also important. With summer around the corner, people are getting anxious about bathing suit season and often go on diets. However, she believes that diets and restricting your food intake can sometimes trigger eating disorders in individuals. Stick with eating at the same time of day every day so that your body is less likely to enter starvation mode and you’re not restricting yourself and your body.

10. Find someone you can confide in. You don’t need millions of Facebook friends or even hundreds of in-person ones. According to research, you just need one trustworthy friend you can confide in to live longer and recover faster from illness. Lyon said that part of the recovery program in some countries includes having someone to talk to about it. Social support is that important.

Flat Tummy

noreply@blogger.com (EniolaWealth) — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 05:34:00 -0500

Get Flat Tummy

1. Engage in aerobic exercises daily. Strive for at 30 minutes a day minimum, but include one to two days of rest each week.

2. Vary your exercises. combine different workouts.

Crunches work the upper abdomen, leg raises work the lower abdomen, and side bends work the obliques (also known as love handles). About 15 to 25 reps each day should be enough. If you can do more than that, try adding a weights to your routine.

3. Burn the fat. Sure, you can do 100 crunches a day, but if you've got a layer of fat covering up your ab work then what's the point? You need to burn the top layer of stomach fat to see the changes. Try the plyometric and cardio exercises in the section below

4. Put your heart into it. Cardio exercises are best as they will heat up your core temperature and improve circulation, both of which will aid in acquiring a flat stomach.

Aim for interval cardio training, such as alternating between sprinting and power walking. You can try sprinting for as long as you can. When you become too tired, you should walk. When you feel that you've caught your breath, sprint again.
Do these alterations for a total of 20 minutes at a time.

5. Strength training. This will improve your muscular tone as well as increase your metabolism, so you'll burn calories faster over time.

The best strength training exercises (that don't require a gym or weights) include:

Push-ups

Pull-ups (You can do these in a park hanging from the branch of a large tree)

Squats

Lunges

Leg lifts

Crunches and criss cross crunches

Sit-ups

Plank holds

6" hold

Flutters

Scissors

V-ups

L-holds from a bar

Yoga arm balances

Handstands (these take a lot of strength when repeated over and over)

6. Get enough sleep. You know you got enough sleep when you wake up by yourself from bed without any alarm clock. Sleep deprivation slows your metabolism.

· Believes are of one flesh and blood belonging to one tribe, under the same roof, heading for the same destination

· Just as one would correct, discipline, teach or report an erring small sister to the parents, without ever thinking of chasing her out, so must be our relationship in marriage

· Your partner is your Spiritual blood relation which supersedes mere flesh and blood family formation

· To have and to hold – To have may be stage-managed, holding is demanding and calls for unending adjustment – 2Pet.1:5-8

· Time element – The best of soups require time for the various ingredients to blend properly. If we honestly refuse to quit, there is enough energy behind every Christ centered home to overcome any obstacle.

I. a) Human difficulty – The Bible points again and again to the headship of the man in a Christian home setting

· Playing the second fiddle is very demanding

· No matter how smart, views have to be submitted

· No matter how strong, the husband has to lead

· No matter how frightened, he wants to call the shot

b) Christian forgiveness – unforgiveness is likened to the umbilical chord that must be cut off; carbon dioxide that must be expelled; the bile – that would destroy the whole meat if retained. It opens one’s life to tormentors. Mtt.18:34.

c) Wrong Expectations – One of the biggest challenge to our homes is the unrealistic expectations which should have been realizable if Adam had not sinned

· Always around to baby sit me

· Around the kitchen, when I am cooking

· Going with me to toilet

· Reliable provider of all good things of life

· Choice kids coming effortlessly

· Kids in the best of schools

· A sure defender, listener, protector and sympathizer – Heb.12:2

The rock that never fails is Christ, only a foolish runner does not plan for bends, and only the Omnipotent can be there for us always, no one else.

d) Expectations from men – while many men care less on meeting their spouses expectations, they are very rigid with their wives performance

· Never to grow old, always smart like when in courtship

· Cooking with firewood yet must smell good

· Cleaning up nappies yet must be gay

· Given little but expected to do much

· In great labour pains yet expected to smile

A wise man will do all necessary to harness the capabilities of these creature of wonders, human comforter, mother to baby and father, manager of resources, defender and supporter.

II. Winning ways – Listed are some practices that help families patterned after Christ, to excel.

· Marital Satisfaction – while realizing that only Christ can satisfy willing hearts, it is timely to mention that “The greatest satisfaction comes from providing satisfaction for one’s partner – Ph. 2:4-7”. Turning any aspect of our marriage obligations into a weapon will only attract a return match, be it income, sex, relations, dependants, in-laws etc. Each family must come up with their own methods of getting things done and accomplished, such as – money management; house helps; projects; anti-quarrelling provisions etc.

· Avoiding Winner takes all – It is ungodly for one to claim one is married to the spouse only. In-laws, friends, acquaintances are all part of the equation, if one would ever have lasting peace. Long throat must be avoided at all cost (Ruth 1:12-16)

· Many women are empire builders (Territory Seekers)

· Not a few are possessive and chases away suspected intruders

· Many don’t know how to manage institution – like-spouses (MD; President; Finance Minister etc) – Drying woman

III. The Place of Liberty – Liberty is one of the greatest bestowal on human beings. Nobody including Junior loves being over monitored and controlled. It is a negative practice for one to have nothing do with anyone except the spouse.

· Couples who work together

· Rate of divorce among Retirees

· Affection after a short separation

· The prodigal son’s father’s embrace – Lk.15:20

The way out of this is to study the spouse, give enough existential space for beingness, develop time consuming hobbies and try to associate on demand – at times. No partner has the power to preserve his partner but we have one that watches over our soul – Pro.21:1

IV. Flowing Together – The power in unity is unfattomable, no wonder our God said ‘Father keep them one – John 17:11

· Spartan soldiers watch one another’s backs

· Use all under your roof – Garry

· Redistribute family routines

· Have regular family briefing and meeting

· Remain honest to one another

· Learn and keep learning about the home

It is through Godly wisdom that any Christian Home can stand – Prov.24:3

V. Helpful hints – There’s no Almighty formula for issues in the home, however below are some helpful suggestions :

· 1. Accept your differences, engage those that can be worked upon and square up with the rest prayerfully

· You must talk together, your dreams, fears, aspirations, must be laid bare.

· 2. Learn to apologize and be excited to forgive completely, the offence notwithstanding. (The Comm. Wife) Never go to sleep angry

· 3. Treat in-laws with deep respect, no matter their statues and limitations

· 4. Pray daily for the homes well-being, end each day as much as possible in embrace and prophetic utterances

· 5. Remember the home is a project that must succeed to the glory of the Lord.

How to Make a Relationship Work

noreply@blogger.com (EniolaWealth) — Mon, 25 Jun 2012 02:22:00 -0400

Communicate about anything and everything. Share your deepest thoughts, needs, wishes, hopes, and dreams. Know each other inside and out. Have deep and meaningful conversations once in a while. Discuss what's going on in your lives right now, whether social life, school life, or family life, and learn about each other’s pasts and childhoods. Celebrate accomplishments, encourage goals and ambitions, and explore each other’s values and beliefs.

Support each other. Be there through the joy, good, happy, sad, and bad times—no matter what. Be willing to provide hugs, kisses, and emotional comfort in all circumstances. If your partner resists your attempts to comfort them and declines to talk about it, you should ease off of the subject and wait until they seem to be in a better mood before returning to it. Feel like you can count on each other; be reliable and loyal, and be emotionally available when you need each other most.

Be honest with each other. A truly emotionally intimate relationship requires open and honest communication. Way of keeping secrets from your partner creates a barrier between you that limits your mutual emotional trust. Honesty can be scary, but if you want your relationship to thrive, then you both need to become comfortable discussing your feelings, insecurities, and frustrations.

Spend time together. Stay together as a couple is very important. Spend time talking with each other and going out on dates, and doing other relationship-building activities. Really get to know each other and build a connection between you that's strong and enduring.

Trust on all levels is Important. Try hard to understand and respect your differences. Share and clarify your differing perspectives, and try to empathize with each others point of view. Pressuring your partner to do something that they really don't want to do, or neglecting or abusing them (whether emotionally, verbally, physically, or sexually) undermines your ability to trust and rely on one another. You must keep your word and follow through to the fullest. You must realize that fulfilling simple, basic commitments and expectations every day lays the foundation of trust that extends to more challenging situations. You should be able to trust each other in everything, keeping private your partner's innermost secrets, fears, and struggles. When you say you'll do something it must be done.

Spend time apart. Do your own things separately once in a while. Spend time with friends and family, and by yourself pursuing hobbies and other things. Just ensure that no other relationship or pursuit crowds out your partner from being your first priority.

Be independent and keep your sense of self, never losing yourself or your voice in the relationship.

Settle disputes peacefully. Pardon, Apologize, Care, and make up with each other. Talk through disagreements as long or as many times as it takes until the issue is resolved and both of you feel comfortable moving forward.

If you threaten to break up with each other after every fight or argument, you will never really resolve anything.

Keep most things private between you. When your partner shares with you and confides in you (emotionally and physically),especially when they share something about another person; resist the urge to disclose sensitive details to anyone without permission. A relationship is between two people—you and your spouse, not anyone else. Don't involve others in intimate matters, however close you may feel to them.

Make maintain your relationship. Work on it. Work hard at keeping it positive, happy, healthy, and the very best it can be. Do what you can do to improve your relationship or make it healthier.

Pay Attention to Body Reaction

noreply@blogger.com (EniolaWealth) — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 02:48:00 -0400

1. Create Time for Exercise

Do only what your body can manage, if you’re struggling as there’s no point in making things harder. Even a little activity can have a huge impact.

2. Make Sleep a Most

If you’re tired, even if you feel that you need to get more done, give yourself permission to sleep. This will stops you from damaging your body.

3. Take Time to Eat Well

Food is fuel, and we need it to function very well. We need to be mindful of what we eat and considering the state of the food we consume. This is the act of feeding your body what it needs in the most natural way you can manage and afford. Changing how you eat doesn’t need to be an all-or-nothing thing.

Relish the food you eat too, and take your time. Paying attention to flavors, textures, and smells, even the mechanical act of eating, can soothe our bodies and reawaken us to the sensations of being alive. How long has it been since you’ve recognized your body like this?

4. Pay Attention to Body Reaction (Pain)

When something hurts, it’s a sign that your body is demanding check up. But rather, we pay no attention to pain unless it becomes unbearable; ignoring little pain on your body should not be brushed aside because they may later cause serious havoc and damage to our bodies.

Our bodies are precious, so why do we neglect them on such basic levels so often? A serene mind really is nothing without a healthy body to carry it. So take an hour–yes an hour!–out of your day a few times a week to care for it. Sleep, eat, rest, get a massage. Wind things down. Pay attention.

TIPS ON MAINTAINING FRESHNESS EVER

noreply@blogger.com (EniolaWealth) — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 02:17:00 -0400

According to Research : Body odor is the unpleasant spell caused by the mixing of perspiration, or sweat, and bacteria on the skin. Sweating or perspiration is the body's way of relieving heat from within the body. Sweat is generally an odorless body secretion; however, the skin surface provides nutrients that help bacteria grow. These bacteria break down sweat into aromatic fatty acids, which produce the unpleasant odor. The concentration and number of bacteria vary in different parts of the body, the maximum being in parts like the scalp, armpits, genital areas and the feet.

6. TIPS ON MAINTAINING FRESHNESS EVER

It is significant that body odor is often due to poor personal hygiene, but too much perspiration is sometimes involved. Regardless of the cause, the need to develop the following habits is priceless.

1. Keep Your Body Clean: Wash with soap daily; particularly your armpits, groin, and feet, where there are many sweat producing glands. If you sweat a lot, you may need to bath two or more times a day. Epson salts bath, alternate cold and hot showers daily will improve the blood circulation and reduce congestion in the body.

2. Use Antiperspirants And Deodorants Daily: Preferably, deodorants with aluminum or Zinc, as these metals kill odour-causing bacteria. Note however, that to keep yourself odor free you need to maintain cleanliness of yourself first. Shave your armpits at least once in two weeks.

3. Stay Dry: Keeping your skin dry will help reduce the amount of odor causing bacteria on your body. You can start by toweling yourself off thoroughly after taking a bath or shower. You can also use that antiperspirant in areas other than your armpits that usually get sweaty like your feet or around your groin. Also consider applying antiperspirant before bed. Start wearing clothes that allow your skin to breathe and provide proper air circulation. Trapping heat inside your clothing is a quick way to have sweat accumulate and create a foul smelling odor.

4. Wash Clothes Thoroughly and always; mostly clothing exposed to sweaty areas such as underwear, socks, and shirts and other clothes at least when they get dirty, sweaty, or when they do not smell clean, and keeping feet dry can reduce odor and irritation.

5. Wash your face when waking up, in the shower, and before going to bed.

6. Store your clothes in places where air can get to them and that smell nice.

Address Your Health or It Will Address You

noreply@blogger.com (EniolaWealth) — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 05:50:00 -0500

In 2006, in Beijing, a 35-year-old Chinese man, wanted by police on gun charges, surrendered himself after hiding in a cave constructed at the back of his house for eight years. After eight years, in spite of the possibility of a death sentence, the man finally gave himself up to police after no longer being able to cope with the "psychological pressure."

The harvest of our lifestyle habits inevitably reaps itself in the condition of our health. If we choose not to change bad habits, we are as the man hiding in the cave pretending to be free when really in bondage to the inevitable.

Delay is the worst enemy for reform. It is essential to examine where you fail, and then commence the work of reform earnestly without delay one small step at a time. The timing of your reform will tell in favor of your success; delay and neglect will only make it more difficult.

Good Health Is a Habit, Not an Event

An "all or nothing" mentality is the way to defeat. If you are unable to do everything all at once or always, do not fret, you don't need to overwhelm yourself. Simply adapt one change at a time, once you get used to it, quickly get started on another good habit.

Every step you take towards health will do you good. If you slip, do not quit. It is what you do most of the time that counts. It is not the odd times but the habitual tendency that determines good health.

One of the differences between people and animals is the way they acquire behavior patterns. Animals follow instinct. This knowledge and behavior is inherited. In contrast, although tendencies are inherited, humans follow learnt behavior. Most of what we do, we do because we learnt it somewhere. Habits are convenient, since once we establish them, we don't have to deliberate about everything we do.

The good news is, once you follow a healthy lifestyle for long enough, it will become a rewarding habit to help keep you on track with much less effort and planning. Consistency is key, and the more often you engage in the habit, the stronger yet easier it becomes.

Importance of Sweet Words

noreply@blogger.com (EniolaWealth) — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 02:36:00 -0500

"Getting angry is like taking a small dose of some slow-acting poison every day of your life." -Redford Williams, M.D., Anger Kills

Gary Smalley and Rex Russell compiled the following research that was most revealing in their book Food and Love,:

Medical research has studied the effect of chronic quarrelling on a person's health and have found that couples and roommates who frequently quarrel tend to have more illnesses than do the people in amicable relationships. Those who have constant fights suffer a weakening of their immune systems and are generally less healthy than those who react amicably with friends and family. A study of students at Yale University discovered that roommates who disliked each other had far more colds and flues and visits to physicians than did roommates who liked each other and the greater the dislike-the higher the number of illnesses.

Researchers of Ohio State University Medical Center brought 90 couples into lab and asked them to resolve an issue of disagreement; continuous blood monitoring for 24 hours revealed that couples who had high levels of hostility displayed significant deterioration on eight measures of the immune system. Researchers at Cambridge University in England found that couples who had constant quarrels were 13 times as likely to develop a serious illness as couples who rarely fought.

How Can I Make Sure That My Words Are a Good Influence?
If your thoughts are right, then your words will be right. It is best for every soul to closely investigate what mental food we serve our brains to chew on. Slanderous speeches, is a form of cannibalism, will not be spoken by those who are feeding on that which is the Bread of Life. When one gives place to an angry spirit, he is just as intoxicated as a drunkard.

"Giving love is a powerful healer."

When you love others, your immune system is energized to fight against the
disease. Love changes the chemical pathways of the brain strengthening your body's resistance.

There Is Someone I Just Cannot Love, What Can I Do?
There are many ways to develop appreciation and love for a person but one of the most effective ways is to include the person in your intercession at the throne of grace. It is difficult to dislike someone for whom you are praying for. God changes your heart as you pray for that person. Try it!
Also it is important to accept the person for what he is rather than for what he is not. We miss much if we fail to look for the good qualities and strengths which each person possesses.

Agency for combating Disease

noreply@blogger.com (EniolaWealth) — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 05:09:00 -0500

The thoughts in the mind need to be controlled, for they have a most powerful influence upon the health and are the most effective agency for combating disease. The electric power of the brain, promoted by mental activity, vitalizes the whole system, and thus is the most invaluable aid in resisting disease. To array someone's mind against sickness, is the supreme art of medicine. Inspire in a person courage and purpose, and the mind-power will cast out disease. Willpower is another name for life force. Men with great willpower resist and combat disease. The imagination often misleads, and when indulged, brings severe forms of disease upon the afflicted. Sickness of the mind prevails everywhere. Nine tenths of the diseases from which we suffer have their foundation here. Ninety percent of illnesses are mentally triggered mostly due to stress and guilt.

A HAPPY HEART

Our thoughts are the food that our brains feed on. As we can eat foods that steal from our bodies, like sugar; we can also think thoughts that steal from our bodies, like anger. We can choose what we think, and in doing so, we choose between health and disease.

Redford Williams, M.D., author of the book Anger Kills, wrote: "Getting angry is like taking a small dose of some slow-acting poison every day of your life:' Grief, anxiety, discontent, remorse, guilt, distrust, all tend to break down the life-forces and to invite decay and death.

Norman Cousins in his book, Anatomy of an Illness, describes his recovery from ankylosing spondylitis, a disease of "unknown etiology" with a survival chance of one in 500. In a desperate bid to survive, Cousins rejected his drug therapy, hired a projector and amused himself watching old comedy movies. He was following a hunch he had acquired from reading Dr. Hans Selye's book The Stress of Life, and his changed state of mind, helped by laughter, improved diet and his own determination, was the turning point from which he recovered full health in a few months. It has been said that a hearty laugh a day may keep the doctor away. Laughter has innumerable benefits. It increases blood flow as much as a 15- to 3D-minute workout. It proves a potent anti-stress factor, decreases asthmatic attacks, increases stamina, relieves arthritic pain, and promotes good sleep. Also, since the serotonin levels go up after laughter, it is an effective antidote for depression. Studies have shown that even breastfed babies with eczema experience milder symptoms if their mothers laugh hours before feeding them

What Is the Importance of Sweet Words?

Gary Smalley and Rex Russell in their book “Food and Love” assembled the following research that was most revealing:

A study of students at Yale University discovered that room- mates who disliked each other had far more colds and flues and visits to physicians than did roommates who liked each other- and the greater the dislike-the higher the number of illnesses.

How Much Sleep to Get?

noreply@blogger.com (EniolaWealth) — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 04:40:00 -0500

Research Article:

The largest study on sleep duration and mortality found that those who slept about seven hours had the highest survival rate. Those who slept less than 4.5 hours had the worst. Nine hours of sleep or more each night was also associated with a higher mortality risk. Experts tend to agree that the majority of people require about eight hours of sleep each night.

How Can I Sleep Better?

To sleep well, you need to work well. "The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep". Idleness is the cause of many diseases. Rather than taking a harmful sleeping pill, make sure to do strenuous outdoor physical labor every day. Abstain from all stimulants (caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, spicy foods). Avoid eating anything a couple hours before bedtime.

Regular times for going to bed and rising are very helpful. The best time to go to bed is between 8:00 PM and 9:00 PM. Deepest sleep is between 9.00 PM to 12.00 AM. The body, particularly the adrenals, recharges the most during 11:00 PM to 1:00 AM.

Make sure your eyes are exposed to sunlight every morning, this enhances melatonin-production. Sleep in complete darkness (cover your eyes so no light penetrates). Even a little light during the night can disrupt your circadian rhythm and your pineal gland's production of melatonin (your body's number one anti-aging hormone) and serotonin (your happiness hormone).

A relaxing soak in warm water will help you unwind after a stressful day. Have a cup or two of your preferred choice of a calming herbal tea.

Rest Embraces Much More Than a Good Night's Sleep

It is important to take time for rest, meditation, and recreation (not for amusement). Recreation is re-creative; it refreshes the mind and the body enabling us to return with new vigor to the earnest work of life. Amusement, on the other hand, is sought for the sake of pleasure and is often carried to excess; it absorbs the energies that are required for useful work and thus proves a hindrance to life's true success.

Recreation is needful for those who are engaged in physical labor and is still more essential for those whose labor is principally mental. Recreation that benefits those around you is most beneficial. Spending time outdoors in nature in some form of physical exercise is an excellent form of recreation (hiking, picnicking, swimming, etc.). Watching TV is not a good source of recreation. An analysis of thirty-five different scientific studies has identified no fewer than fifteen negative health effects associated with watching long hours of television Among these effects are heart trouble, cancer, diabetes, autism, Alzheimer's disease eyesight damage, and sleeping difficulties

Bathing; Is it Necessary!

noreply@blogger.com (EniolaWealth) — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 01:27:00 -0500

It is important to keep the pores of the skin open and clean by daily bathing. The average healthy person eliminates about one kilogram (two pounds) of waste material daily through the pores of the skin. People who engage in rigorous physical activity eliminate an even greater amount. The skin is considered to play the role of a third kidney. A burned victim who has had over 50 percent of the skin function destroyed, has a lower chance for survival, and his kidneys are placed under a terrific load because of the loss of eliminative assistance by the skin.

Whether in health, or illness, daily bathing should not be neglected. A neglect of cleanliness will induce disease. The multitude of pores, through which the body breathes, become clogged and filled with waste matter. The skin needs to be carefully and thoroughly cleansed, that the pores may do their work in freeing the body from impurities. Even feeble persons who are diseased need the advantages and blessings of bathing daily. Respiration is more free and easy if bathing is practiced. By it, the muscles become more flexible, the mind and body are alike invigorated, the intellect is made brighter, and every faculty becomes livelier. It promotes general perspiration, quickens the circulation, overcomes obstructions in the system, and acts beneficially on the kidneys and urinary organs. Bathing helps the bowels, stomach, and liver, giving energy and new life to each. It also promotes digestion, and instead of the system being weakened, it is strengthened.

Instead of increasing the liability of cold, a bath, properly taken, fortifies against cold, because the circulation is improved, and the uterine organs, which are more or less congested are relieved, for the blood is brought to the surface, and an easier and regular flow of the blood through all the blood vessels is obtained. It is better to end your bath or shower with at least 30 seconds of cold water. Ending with a cold shower strengthens the body whereas ending with warmer water weakens the body.

Should I Use Hydrotherapy (Water Treatments)
When I Am Sick? How Effective Is Its Use?

Natural remedies combined with hydrotherapy are more effective in restoring
health than all the drug medication in the world. The use of water is one of the most ancient remedies. As early as 400 BC Hippocrates, who is considered by modern medicine as the "Father of Medicine;' treated the sick with hot and cold water. Whenever there is disease there is some kind of disturbance in the circulation.

This disturbance can be corrected by the application of water. Hot water relaxes and cold water stimulates. Together, they act as a universal pump to equalize blood circulation. When done properly, hydrotherapy can increase circulation by 400 percent. The red blood cells and white blood cells in the peripheral circulation can increase by 20-35 and 200-300 percent respectively. Furthermore, it is through the skin that hydrotherapy produces its powerful physiologic actions, and the skin is intimately connected to every organ in the body via the nervous system and circulatory system. By changing the skin temperature with hot and cold water applications, nerve sensations will stimulate or sedate specific systems or organs. Take a hot shower for 3-5 minutes followed immediately by a cold shower for 30 seconds. Do this five times always ending with the cold. Try this daily for a month. Every treatment will extend and build on the benefits of the previous one. In critical cases hydrotherapy can be done twice a day directing the water treatment on the afflicted body part. You can also have a steam bath at home. Sit on a small stool, covered with a blanket, from the neck to the feet. Have someone place a basin of boiling water between your feet and replace the water with more hot water as it cools. Maintain this position for twenty minutes; end with a cold shower for 1-2 minutes.

A Healthy Living (You & Water)

noreply@blogger.com (EniolaWealth) — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 01:53:00 -0500

Our body's most important nutritional requirement is oxygen. Humans may live five to six weeks without food, a few days without water, but only a few minutes without air. Just as fire in a furnace cannot be kept up without enough air to supply the necessary

You & Water

Toxic waste builds up in the body):' when we do not drink enough water. The body of a newborn contains more than 80 percent water. The amount of water in the tissues lessens with advancing age. More than 60 percent of our body is made up of water.

Humans have lived 81 days without food, but they will die in 5 days without water. If you lose just 5 percent of the total amount of water in your body, you will start to hallucinate, become disoriented, and experience twitching muscles. If you lose 15 percent of your total water, your life is endangered.

The parts of the body that suffer most from dehydration are those without direct vascular circulation, such as the joint cartilages in fingers, knees, and vertebrae. Chronic pain is often an indicator of chronic dehydration. When any of your joints begin to signal aching pains that come and go, this may be a sign that your body is severely short of water. Often, though, the signs of water deficiency in joint cartilages are not recognized for what they indicate and painkillers are prescribed.

According to Dr. Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, dehydration can cause disease. "Dry mouth is not the only sign of dehydration and waiting to get thirsty is wrong.

How Do I Know If I Am Drinking Enough Water?

Contrary to popular belief, thirst is not a good indication. By the time you are thirsty, it means your body has already lost more than 3 percent of its water. If your urine is a strong yellow color, you are not drinking enough. Ideally, your urine should be almost colorless. Regular intake of water throughout the day is important because when a large amount of water is ingested, it is practically completely eliminated by the kidneys in the succeeding few hours. That is why; to meet your daily ration of water intake, a lot of water all at once is not the solution. Drinking one glass of water every waking hour or so throughout the day is best. When you are tired, just drinking a lot of plain, cold water will help revitalize you during sluggish periods of the day. You will need to drink even more than that if you sweat much or if the weather is hot. This will increase your endurance. Carry your water supply with you and use it and no other liquid to quench your thirst. A good estimate of the minimum amount of water one needs is to take your body weight in pounds and divide that number in half. That gives you the number of ounces of water per day that you need to drink.

Upon rising, to jump-start your day on the right track, make it a habit to drink two to four glasses of warm lemon water. For each glass squeeze the juice of half a lemon.
