Matag gutlo kahigayonan sa paglambo
Sa dihang gipangutana ang usa ka nuebentay singko anyos nga lalaki ug naila nga usa ka bantugang mamamana kung nganu sa iya lang gihapong pangedaron, mogahin gihapon cyag unom ka oras matag adlaw aron sa pagbansay. Ang maong tigulang igo lang mitubag: "Nagbansay ko tungod kay akong nakita nga mulambo pa gyud ko." Ang matag gutlo sa atong kinabuhi maoy mga kahigayonan sa paghimo og ginagmay apan makanunayong kalambuan. Sama sa atong kinabuhing Espirituhanon, ang Dios wala magpaabot nga mohimo kita og dili kasarangang mga kalamposan nga pagaubanan og mga walay kinutobang pag-angal. Hinunoa, gitawag kita nga muhimo og mga yanong mga buhat nga dunay dili kasarangang paghigugma. Mao nga ang matag gutlo kahigayonan gyud sa paglambo.

Obesity Prevention & Awareness (www.nhlbi.nih.gov)
Obesity means having too much body fat.
It is different from being slightly overweight, which means weighing way too much.
The weight may come from muscle, bone, fat and/or body water.
Both terms mean that a person's weight is greater that what's considered healthy for his or her height.
A person is considered obese when his or her weight is 20 percent or more above normal weight.
Obesity occurs over time when one eats more calories than the body uses.
The balance between calories-in and calories-out differs for each person.
Factors that might tip the balance include your genetic makeup, overeating, eating high-fat foods and not being physically active.
Being obese increases your risk of:
.Diabetes
.Stroke
.Arthritis
.and some Cancers
.Heart disease
.Sleep apnea
.Gallstone
If you are obese,, losing even five to ten percent of your weight can delay or prevent some of these diseases.
Healthy lifestyle
To lose weight, you must eat food with fewer calories and increase your physical activity to burn more calories.
They key to losing and keeping weight off is to set realistic weight loss goals.
The changes you make to your eating and exercise habits will need to last throughout your life.
A healthy diet example
. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat dairy products
. Lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts
. Low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt, and added sugar
Focus on portion size
Watch the size of portion in fast food and other restaurants.
A simple exercise tip
Experts recommend at least 30 minutes of moderate aerobic activity (such as a brisk walk) at least five days a week.
You don't have to exercise for 30 minutes at a time; ten minutes three times a day is equally effective.
In fact, any exercise from taking the stairs to cleaning the house or working in the garden is beneficial.
You should also include muscle-strengthening activities such as weight-lifting or working with resistance bands at least two days a week.
Workplace Wellness: Take responsibility for your own heart health
10 simple steps on how you can live a healthy life
1.Healthy food intake - Eat at least five servings of fruit and vegetables a day and avoid saturated fat. Beware of processed foods. They often contain high levels of salt.
2.Get Active - Even 30 minutes of activity can assist in the prevention of heart attacks and strokes and your work will benefit too.
3.Say no to tobacco - Your risk of coronary heart disease will be halved within a year and will return to a normal level over time.
4.Maintain a healthy weight - Weight loss and less salt intake leads to lower blood pressure. High blood pressure is the number one risk factor for stroke and a major factor for approximately half of all heart disease.
5.Know your numbers - Visit a healthcare professional who can measure your blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose levels, together with waist-to-hip ratio and body mass index (bmi). Once you know your overall risk, you can develop a specific plan of action to improve your heart health.
6.Limit your alcohol intake - Restrict the amount of alcoholic drinks you consume. Excessive alcohol intake can cause your blood pressure to rise and your weight to increase.
Ideas on how you can make your workplace healthier are listed in numbers 7 to 10 as follows:
7.Insist on a smoke-free environment - Demand a tobacco ban and ensure your workplace is 100 percent smoke-free. Support the adoption of smoking-cessation services and encourage your employer to provide help to those wanting to quit tobacco.
8.Bring exercise to your workplace - Include physical activity in your working schedule - cycle to work whenever possible, take the stairs, exercise or go for a walk during your lunch breaks, and encourage others to do so too.
9.Choose healthy food options - Ask for healthy food at you work canteen, or find nearby cafes or restaurants that serve healthy meals.
10.Encourage stress-free moments - while stress has not been shown to be a direct risk factor for heart disease and stroke, it is related to smoking, excessive drinking and unhealthy eating, which are risk factors for heart disease.
.Take time for lunch away from your workplace to get some fresh air
.Take regular breaks during the day and do stretching exercising for five minutes twice a day

A Wonderful Message by George Carlin
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways but narrower viewpoints.
We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less
We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time.
We have more degrees, but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicines, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life.
We've added years to life and life to years
We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a neighbor.
We conquered outer space, but not inner space.
We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul
We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.
We write more, but learn less.
We plan more, but accomplish less
We've learned to rush, but not to wait
We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, sleep profits and shallow relationships.
These are the days of too incomes but more divorce, fancier houses but broken homes
These are the days of of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.
It is the time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom.
A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.
Remember, spend time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember to say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember to say "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all, mean it.
A kiss and an embrace will mend hurts when it comes from deep inside you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take your breath away.
We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less
We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time.
We have more degrees, but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicines, but less wellness.

Prayer of a Wife
Dear Lord,
Grant me the grace to be more patient.
When children are misbehaving and food is not eaten.
When the budget is short and all bills are always rising.
When my husband is busy and he tends to forget our anniversary.
When laundries are filled piled up and I have no time for myself.
When household chores tend to be routinary and I feel I am a robot.
I don't ask you Lord, that I may be appreciated
I don't work that I may be praised
Nor do I complain or seek comfort.
What I ask of you is to grant me the grace to be more persevering. Because I will do these things again just to give the best to my children.
Let all these household duties be the expressions of my all-encompassing concern for them.
Grant me the grace to be more patient.

Let all these household duties be the expressions of my all-encompassing concern for them.
