HEALTHY LIVING | 5-2-1-0-0: This code can help you avoid a heart attack

Take action now. Reduce heart diseases by 25 percent in 2025. According to Dr. Reyes, rust remember the code: 5-2-1-0-0.
This daily 5-2-1-0-0 strategy is simple enough to follow:
• FIVE servings of vegetable and fruits
• Maximum of TWO hours of screen (computer/video) time
• ONE hour of moderate physical activity
• ZERO soda or sugar-sweetened drinks
• ZERO smoking.
To make the 5-2-1-0-0 code, Dr. Reyes adds that you must do the numbers. Make it a daily routine among family members, relatives, and friends. Take on the challenge as it will add healthier years to your life. It may be difficult at first and may seem like an ambitious target, but it can be done.
Parents, especially mothers, hold the key to a healthy heart. Following the fundamentals of a healthy lifestyle is just the same as adhering to house rules and its other do’s and don’ts.

Jesus, the Master of Revival

 

Some people have taught that to be a Christian, Jesus only has to be your Savior, not your Lord. I am left wondering, if Jesus is not Lord of those people, then who is? I think experience tells us the answer. If no one else is your Lord, than you are lord of your own life. But affirming that Jesus is Lord is not all that God desires. He wants Jesus to actually exercise Lordship over our lives. Unfortunately, although most Christians deny the false teaching that Jesus does not need to be our Lord, they also fall well short of living as though He is.
What does it mean for Jesus to be Lord? Jesus is Lord of heaven and earth. But this does not mean He only rules in a general sense, holding all things together. He is also Lord of every believer. This personal sense of Lordship can be seen in Colossians 4:1. Here the word for Lord (kurios) is translated, “master,” and it refers to the owner of a slave. Paul tells “masters” to treat their slaves with equity and righteousness because “you also have a Master in heaven.” The term, “master,” was used in the ancient Roman world for the father of a household. The father had rights over his children in some ways similar to that of an owner of slaves. There are examples in the ancient world of fathers ordering the death of an unwanted son, with the order being carried out without question. The master, whether of slaves or sons, has complete authority over his subjects. One who is subject to a master is not in control of his own life. His master is in control. His master decides what he will eat, what work he will engage in, and the subject must simply obey, no questions asked.

A lot of people fear giving everything to God because they think he might make them to do something embarrassing. I remember as a teenager being afraid that if I got saved, God might tell me to stand on a table in my high school cafeteria and preach the gospel. Because of that fear, I was hesitant to abandon all and serve Him. If we really want to experience God’s presence, then He must have permission to embarrass us, to tell us to do anything He wants, even to send us to our deaths. Anything less than that and He is not truly Lord and Master.

Erectile Problems Caused By an Enlarged Prostate

 

 

 

Definition

Erectile dysfunction (ED), formerly known as impotence, is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection long enough to engage in sexual intercourse.

As you age and grow, so too does your prostate. It’s one of few organs in the body that grows with age. As it enlarges, the nerves and blood vessels become impinged, inflating the prostate. When the prostate experiences constriction to the nerves and blood vessels, the organ cannot release urine flow properly. Instead, the prostate acts as a constricted garden hose: building pressure while being unable to exude the urine fast enough to impede urinary tract problems.

What's worse, prostate enlargement can lead to erectile disorders. According to a recent research study, scientists found a strong correlation between the two conditions. According to the study, 50 percent of all men surveyed with prostate enlargement reported impaired erectile function while 10 percent of those men were unable to get an erection at all. Those figures rose to 67 percent and 16 percent, respectively, in men with moderate BPH symptoms, while 82 percent of men with severe symptoms reported impaired erection function and 18 percent of those men reported complete impotence. ^[1]

Natural Solution

Think of prostate as a miniature-sized stress ball. The more you squeeze and apply pressure to it, the weaker it becomes. A weakened, inflamed prostate can result in testicular pain, premature ejaculation, urinary problems and yes, erectile dysfunction. Men who experience an enlarged prostate need two key chemicals present in their bodies: balanced DHT levels to lower prostate enlargement and a stable production of nitric oxide to maintain a healthy erection.

Thanks to all-natural alternatives, such as many powerful herbs from Botanical Prostate Rejuvenation & Detox For Erectile Problems, can balance the DHT buildup while sustain sufficient nitric oxide levels to prevent erectile dysfunction.

True or False: A Noisy Hotel Will Upset Guests More Than Bad WiFi

The answer? TRUE.
We tend to do a lot of griping here about hotel WiFi--the cost of it and the speed of it--but there's another reason why guests may leave a hotel ticked off--noise.

The Sleepy Leader's Brain

 


God created sleep not only to cure sleepiness, but to serve our bodies and brains in many beneficial ways. Unfortunately, many leaders, especially pastors, try to lead without getting adequate sleep and live with a sleepy leader’s brain. When we don’t get enough sleep, our brains don’t work as well. Thus, we don’t lead at our best. So what happens when we don’t get enough sleep, besides feeling sleepy? Here’s what the experts tell us happens to our brains when we don’t get adequate sleep.

• Our memory is impaired. Sleep helps turn short term memory into long-term memory (called consolidation) by strengthening memory traces. Lack of sleep hinders this process.
• We don’t learn as well. Related to memory, when our memory is impaired, learning suffers.
• We can’t control our emotions as well. Emotional control (called emotional regulation) best happens when we think most clearly. Lack of sleep keeps our executive thinking center (called the pre-frontal cortex) from operating most effectively.
• Creativity suffers. When we sleep our brain continues to work. One way it works is by making novel connections which doesn’t happen as easily during wakefulness. If you rob yourself of sleep you may be robbing yourself of creative insights that otherwise could enhance your leadership.
• We don’t recharge our brains and our bodies. The body needs to reset its physiological processes each day to keep in balance (called homeostasis). If you don’t get enough sleep, you can keep your body from resetting its chemical balances. As a result, chronic lack of sleep can put your body in a stress state which keeps the stress hormone cortisol constantly in our system, which damages our bodies and brains.

How’s your sleep pattern? Are you getting enough sleep? What can you do if you believe you are sleep deprived?
