Health

We believe that God is concerned with the quality of human life, and that everything — the way we live, eat, speak, think, treat each other, and care for the world around us — is part of His plan. Our families, our children, our jobs, our talents, our money, and our time are all important to Him.

“…test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables…and water.” Daniel 1: 8, 12, 15

“…whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” 1 Corinthians 10:31

Ideas for increasing your daily step count:

Set your own realistic daily and weekly targets. The step up app allows people to set daily and weekly step goals.
Start with small goals – if your current average is 2000 steps a day aim to add 1000-1500 steps each week. Continue the gradual build up until 10K
Incorporate walking into your routine- do more work on your feet including standing more and walking on the spot during meetings and using a standing desk if you have access to one to do ‘paper’ work.
Use the stairs, park further away from the shops/work
Take brisk walks during lunch breaks
Use the 10 minute rule- start by committing to a 10 min walk daily and extend that to 10 min chunks, 3 -5 times a day.
Remember that every step counts towards your personal health improvement plan. Although it is fun at times, you don’t need to be in competition with anyone
