“HEART HEALTH!”

Why should you move — even just a little — throughout the day?

What does moving around do to your heart?

Moving around has a positive impact on heart health. Regular physical activity helps to: Exercise increases blood flow and reduces the workload on the heart, leading to lower blood pressure. 

Engaging in regular exercise can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease and improve overall cardiovascular health. 

Enhance heart function: Physical activity strengthens the heart muscle and improves its efficiency in pumping blood. 

Incorporating movement into daily routines, even for short periods, can contribute to better heart health and overall well-being. 

Those of you who know me know that I am not a person who exercises. I do not go to the gym, nor have a regular exercise plan except I have a stepper under my desk at home which I use regularly!

That being said, as I was moving from my desk chair this morning to get something I needed, the thought occurred to me how much a little movement can help our physical body and the thought occurred deep inside me that the same thing applies to our Spiritual being.

If we want to know Jesus better. If we want to be close to Father God and hear His voice and bask in His Love and effect our world for good, we need to move!

When we move into time in the word, prayer and sitting in the presence of the one who created us, our blood pressure lowers, and we lose the stress daily living brings.

As we receive the Fathers Love and care our overall spiritual health improves and we can walk in victory as our spirit grows stronger and healthier!

When we understand that when we are weak, He is strong and gives us the courage and strength to face the situations and problems with His Wisdom, our spiritual muscles get stronger, and we can defeat the enemy of all that is good and walk in great faith and victory every time!

As we spend that time in spiritual exercise, just as our body can do more with physical exercise, we are motivated and empowered to perform our duties, go to our jobs, encourage those we meet with the compassion and love that can only come when our heart is right and pure and filled with truth!

As our spirits are strengthened, we can help others and reach out a helping hand and lift the fallen and walk with the weak and lead them to the one who gives them life and life abundantly!

To do that we need a strong spiritual heart from which flows the power of the blood of Jesus through all we do and just as a strong physical heart gives life to our entire body, our strong spirit will life to every area of our daily living!

Ephesians 6:6 (KJV) Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

Ephesians 3:17 (KJV) That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

JESUS SAID:

John 14:27 (KJV) Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Mark 12:30 (KJV)And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

May we understand that it is important to care for our bodies but more important to care for our spiritual part of us!

Father, thank you for giving us strength and health and wholeness in our physical bodies but may we understand that it is the heart that you look at. Good actions and attitudes come out of our hearts being right and pure with you. We love and adore you, Lord God Almighty and pour out our hearts before you! In Jesus’ name I pray! Amen!

Love, MeMaw!
