HEALTH – GOD’S WAY:
Les on Nutrition & Fitness
Our health is something we all too often take for granted. We go through the motions of trying to lose weight or get on the latest fitness band wagon, but we don’t always have the best information that will provide us optimal health. Les (see his bio in “Meet Our Team”) will provide you with the tools you need to make wise choices and live the life God intended. The following link (with more to come) will be periodically updated so check back often!

“FAMILY DINNER” with Janet
God created the family unit and we should strive to preserve it as much as possible. It’s time to come back to the dinner table! We can eat healthier and cheaper by eating at home and our conversations are more spontaneous and open than when we are out in public.
Let the kids help with the preparations. This not only gives them ownership of the meal and valuable life-long lessons, but provides for more opportunities for family bonding. Make it fun, not perfect! It does take some extra effort, but the benefits are so worth it. CLICK HERE for some kid-friendly dinner ideas.

An “Apple a Day” is great advice. Apples are loaded with fiber, contain no fat or sodium, and are a good low-calorie carbohydrate source. Click on pic.

GREAT IDEAS BELOW!
- Having beans for dinner but hate the gas that follows? Add 1/2 tsp. ginger to 1 pound of beans while cooking.
- Guiltless Hot Mocha… Drop a couple packets of Swiss Miss diet cocoa mix into a sandwich bag. Seal and keep in your purse for restaurants or visiting with a friend for coffee. Directions: Add 1 packet mix to a cup of hot coffee and stir. Sip slowly.
- Using reduced-fat or fat-free plain yogurt is a great way to reduce the fat in creamy dressings (including mayo) and dips. Start with a 2 to 1 ratio: 2 parts dressing or dip to 1 part yogurt. If desired, over time, increase yogurt / decrease dressing to tolerable taste.
- When chicken breasts are on sale or you can purchase them in bulk from a warehouse store… grill, bake, or prepare in a way you like best. Then, all at once, cube or shred and portion out into Ziploc freezer bags. Freeze. Then, when you want to create a quick meal, just remove a bag from the freezer and add to recipe. Can be used for other meats, also. Do the same with chopped onion, peppers, etc.
