Just Dance!!!

Thought you all should know this little bit of information I read the other day, so true!  Maybe it is because I love to dance and want everyone to experience the enjoyment of dancing and that it is reelee good for you!

Why Dance?

The Art of Dancing is often described as a magical and transforming experience.  Dancing has the unique ability to lift the spirit and reveal hidden creativity.  Through the use of song and Dance, sadness can quickly be transformed into joy!  There are physical benefits to Dancing as well.  It has been proven that a Dance that requires you to remember various dance steps and sequences boosts brain power by improving memory skills.  Dancing can also burn just as many calories as other forms of exercise such as walking, jogging or lifting weights.

Dancing can help to:

Strenthen the mind and body

Tone muscles

Improve your mental outlook

Increase your stamina and flexibility

Reduce stress and tension

Build confidence

Provide opportunities to meet people

So, Just Dance!!!

Don't worry...

The other day at H.E.B., I purchased a magazine on impulse while waiting in the check out line,   called The Bible - 50 New Ways It Can Change Your Life."  And I am really glad I did!!!  So I decided to share one of the sections today on not worrying.  It said, "Here are a few ideas for reducing the stress and worry in your life."

Pray as often as you need to - and then some.

Do what you can do today.

Repeat the process tomorrow.  (I like this one, it is really true, learning to live one day at a time is
         really important.)

Surround yourself with positive-thinking, calm people.

The great scripture for this section was:
Philippians 4:6-7
"Don't worry about anything, but pray about everything.  With thankful hearts offer up your prayers and requests to God.  Then, because you belong to Christ Jesus, God will bless you with peace that no one can completely understand.  And this peace will control the way you think and feel."

Alzheimer's Research

Learned on CBN today, that only 500 million dollars is spent on Alzheimer's research a year, why, because they think it is just an 'old timers' thing.  Not, it is a terrible, terrible disease and there needs to be a cure for it.  Our Father died from it and it is not something I want anybody to have to go through.

Anyway, to make your brain stay healthy they said to stay away from sugars, carbs that turn into sugar, and definitely so trans fat, although the brain needs fat like nuts, salmon, omega oil and so on.  The really interesting suggestion found through research was that coconut oil is very, very good for you.  They said to take 2 tbsp. a day, one in morning and one at night, definitely going to try that!

A lot of exercise, working your brain with word games, reading, etc., basically just stay active in all areas of your body!  So check out CBN on this date, or watch CBN daily, you could learn something!!!
