Physical Fitness: You'll Honor God Through Truth, Willpower, And Movement

health Apr 06, 2020

 

Exercise and physical fitness are essential to overall health, yet many Christian women struggle to find a healthy balance. Some may view exercise as a chore, while others may become overly focused on their physical appearance, turning it into an obsession. The Truth Mindset offers a biblical perspective on physical fitness, encouraging us to honor God through movement while recognizing our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit.

The world often promotes fitness for appearance or vanity, but God’s Word teaches us a different motivation for physical fitness—stewardship. We are called to care for the bodies God has given us, not only for our well-being but also to fulfill His purposes in our lives. Through a Truth Mindset, we can approach physical fitness to glorify God and strengthen ourselves for His service.

 

"Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?" — 1 Corinthians 6:19 (KJV)

Alert: What is this COVID-19 thing, really?

Coronavirus (COVID - 19)

 

Beginning December 2019, we have been hearing about a family of viruses known as coronaviruses. There are 69 known species of these coronaviruses. Seven of them can affect humans. The others of this virus species are contracted by animals, mostly pigs, bats, and other small mammals.

 

History

Healthcare providers have known about these viruses since the 1960s. From 2002 to 2003, the general population began to hear of them due to an outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus that occurred in China. Eventually, this virus was called Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The epidemic spread to twenty-four countries around the world. According to the World Health Organization, roughly 8,000 cases were reported. The mortality rate was between 9.5 to 10 percent.

Another new strain of coronavirus emerged in Saudi Arabia about ten years later, with an extremely high mortality rate of 35 percent. That epidemic spread to twenty-one countries before it was contained...

Little Acts of Kindness Make Big Results

health Mar 23, 2020

“Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.” - Mother Teresa.

Remember how you have felt before when you had a tough day, and someone smiled at you?  Or when you helped your neighbor carry in groceries, and how she still thanks you to this day? Any small act of kindness can make huge impacts on a person’s life.

Small acts often lead to huge ripples. A small act can change the life of a person, who then can perform a kindness for someone else. And the cycle continues to grow - improving everyone's mental health.

No matter how small or large the kindness is, it is likely to affect your mental health greatly. According to psychologists and researchers, small acts of kindness create a rebound effect on not only the receiver’s psyche but yours too.

For instance, a smile increases the receiver’s comfort level and makes them more contented. It also leaves you in a better mood too. A simple smile could be the reason someone is lifted out of despair.

3 Simple Ways to Strengthen Your Immune System This Winter

 

immune system

 

We all have times when we could use a little extra boost to our immune system. Cold and flu season is certainly part of that time. Or, the long winter weeks when we are stuck inside and more likely to catch something. It is also important anytime you board a plane or when your kids start school.

 

Check out the CDC’s info on the flu season.

 

Here are simple things you can do daily:

 

This brings up a good point: For best results, implement daily.

 
Let’s start.

 

Eat Plenty of Fresh Fruits and Vegetables

 
All systems of your body work best when they are properly fed. This includes your immune system. Stick to a mainly whole-foods based diet that includes plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. If you feel like you might be a little under the weather or suspect that you may have come into contact with someone sick, increasing your intake of Vitamin C may help as well. Eat a few citrus fruits. Broccoli, caul...

Good Hand Hygiene is The Best Line of Defense Against Colds and Flus

health Mar 09, 2020

Unlike bacterial infections that can quickly be cleared up with a round of antibiotics, with sicknesses caused by viruses like the flu or the common cold, you often have to ride it out. While there are medications that can help ease your symptoms, your immune system must fight the viral infection off.

 

Why not take it easy on your body and do what you can to avoid catching it in the first place?

 

Your first line of defense to avoid getting sick this year is simple – Wash Your Hands.
 
That’s right.
 
The simple act of washing your hands frequently with soap and hot water limits the spread of cold and flu viruses and your chance of coming down with them.

Get in the habit of washing your hands whenever you have been out in public, and whenever you can throughout the workday.

Wash them before you eat or drink food and when hot water and soap are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

 

Why is hand hygiene so important?

 
Because you are more likely to pick those viruses...

Nourishing Your Body And Spirit With God’s Great Wisdom

health Mar 02, 2020

 

In today’s health-conscious culture, we are constantly bombarded with information about what to eat, how to lose weight, and the latest diet trends. As Christian women, it can be easy to get swept up in the world’s view of nutrition. However, adopting a Truth Mindset means aligning our approach to food and nutrition with God’s wisdom rather than society’s ever-changing standards.

God’s Word guides us on how to care for our bodies, including what we eat and how we steward our health. Proper nutrition is more than a physical act—it is a form of stewardship where we honor God by nourishing the bodies He gave us. Through a Truth Mindset, we can make choices that lead to health, wholeness, and spiritual vitality.

 

"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." — 1 Corinthians 10:31 (KJV)

This verse reminds us that we are called to glorify God even in everyday activities like eating and drinking. Our nutrition choices can reflect our desire to ...

Stay Healthy Through Improved Diet and Exercise

 

One of the most important things you can do to avoid getting sick – and not just from cold and flu, but anything else out there that is contagious – is keep your body as strong and healthy as possible. One of the best ways to do that is to eat a healthy diet and get some sort of daily exercise.

 

Here is what that may look like.

 

Tips for Eating Healthy

 
Improving your diet to eat healthier can seem like a challenge. There is a lot you can do. The key is to start and make small improvements as you go along. A great place to start is by cutting out sugar and processed foods. Replace them with whole food options where you can. Have an apple instead of a candy bar when you need a snack. Fix some scrambled eggs instead of pouring a bowl of sugary cereal in the morning. Skip the fast-food burger and fix a salad to take to lunch. You get the idea.

 

From there, I would encourage you to add more fresh fruits and vegetables. Try s

See How Spiritual Truth Transforms Sleep And Health

health Feb 03, 2020

 

In today’s fast-paced world, many Christian women struggle with rest. Between managing family, work, church responsibilities, and personal commitments, it is easy to neglect rest in favor of productivity. However, embracing a Truth Mindset can radically change your relationship with rest. God designed rest for our good, and it is not just a physical necessity—it is a spiritual practice that reflects trust in Him.

Rest is more than sleep; it is about entering into God’s peace and allowing His truth to guide our decisions regarding our health and well-being. A Truth Mindset helps us recognize that God cares deeply about our rest and that rest is a form of worship, acknowledging His provision and control over our lives.

 

"It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep." — Psalm 127:2 (KJV)

This verse reminds us that endless striving and worrying accomplish little without God’s provision. He desires that we rest ...

Kindness Is The Important Quality We Need Right Now

health Jan 20, 2020

"Let there be kindness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile, in the warmth of your greeting…Don’t only give your care, but give your heart as well."
- Mother Teresa

Kindness is sometimes missing in today's society. Women are more connected to their devices than to what is happening around them. They are self-absorbed. Kindness is frequently the last thing they think about throughout their day.

Without kindness, our world is filled with anger, discontent, and strife. We have seen relationships just fall apart (or never start). Countless countries have disintegrated into perpetual war zones. Our whole world has completely changed.

All successful relationships are, in the end, supported by kindness, according to Dr. John and Julie Gottman, originators of the Gottman Institute, which studies relationships. What's more, they assert that the most crucial time you should be kind is during the conflict, such as when arguing with your husband. Yet, that is the hardest time for most women...
