Thank you for the tips.. I hope others pitch in their healthy tips too.. although there have been some threads on the topic. At times the small reminders can be a ton of help.
I have a younger sister in Christ, who, after i mentioned i sometimes walked (or have to) considering i have no car when husband is away, and our place is a bit remote. She admitted she was lazy to do so or just too busy always. It's kind of a mindset, no? I was rather lazy as a child too when it comes to these things, but i saw my father regularly in his sport, tennis, then my siblings following thru w/ their own activities like swimming, etc. I dont remember ever going into a gym=), but i have maintained simple aerobic activities as well as stretching, and have adopted the moderation in other activities as my parents have trained us to do, including eating things we like! That is, i've learned to stop even if theres a feast, when i know ive had enough.
My husband would also say there's both wisdom and power in prayer, for many illnesses and 'inconveniences' would be prevented if we seriously pray abt our conditions, our body, which is the Temple of the Holy Spirit. Hubby was recommended for surgery of a mass a few yrs (2+) ago , but not exactly heeding the doc's advice, prayed, changed lifestyle, sweating more and eating the right or better things than he used to. Mass isnt totally gone, but he's more active now than he was and continuing to pray for total recovery, and working to serve the Lord more, yes
