I know, I know…you’re so busy with your ministry that you don’t have time to eat breakfast and when you do eat, it’s a muffin or a huge bagel. Don’t worry, I have a bit of inspiration for ya to start eating breakfast again and to make healthier choices so that you have THE ENERGY to minister effectively.
Its fall y’all! I LOVE this time of the year but it’s also the time of the year when we are more susceptible to colds, so I wanted to make sure my community was had the deets on what superfoods to add to your diet.
You knew there was a bit of “fake news” about cholesterol, right? Before we jump into some myths let's make sure we're on the same page when it comes to…
You may feel tired, cold or that you've gained weight. Maybe your digestion seems a bit more “sluggish”. You may be convinced that your metabolism is slow. Why does this happen? Why do metabolic rates slow down?
You want to toss your scale, right? You may have this weird kind of relationship with your “weight”. I mean, you know it doesn't define you. What you weigh CAN matter but ONLY to a certain extent. Let's look at your waist circumference (well...you look at yours and I'll look at mine).
Have you ever said that?Are you feeling exhausted or “running on stress” all day and can barely get through your church service or ministry meeting?Do not fear, I have some…
Coffee is healthy. Coffee is not healthy. Drink it. Avoid it (especially if you suffer from hyperadrenergic POTS) Why all the confusion? If you want to know whether you should drink coffee or avoid it, today’s post is for you. Coffee affects different people differently. It has some health benefits, but there are people who should avoid it. Is this you? What should you consider before your next cuppa joe? Not to mention, what’s my recommended recipe (and does it contain coffee, decaf, or tea?). Oh, the suspense!
There is no shortage of health information available on the internet, in the media, and from well-meaning family and friends. But some of that information may be doing you more harm than good. In this post I spill the beans about some common healthy eating myths and what matters just as much or even more than “how much” you eat.
