John Wesley’s diet, exercise tips promote health

A rerun from last year but good to revisit as we follow A Disciple’s Path:

Among John Wesley’s advice:

Eat a light supper at least two or three hours before bed. Oprah could not have said it better.

Wesley’s counsel to scholars also may seem relevant to couch potatoes, computer addicts and people who work in cubicles.

“Those who read or write much, should learn to do it standing; otherwise it will impair their health,” Wesley said.

Drink lots of water; it’s the healthiest of all drinks.

Other Wesley diet and exercise tips include:

  • Avoid coffee and tea; they elevate anxiety.
  • Exercise, preferably walking, is necessary for good health.
  • Cold baths promote circulation.
  • Exercise on an empty stomach.
  • Go to bed at 9 p.m. and rise at 4 a.m. or 5 a.m.

Today at Pender UMC ~ September 20, 2015

disciples-path

 

Please join us for a wonderful time of worship this Sunday, September 20th, at our 8:15, 9:30 & 11:00 worship services.

Both Pastor Kenny & Pastor Dan will continue their sermon series based on our church-wide study, “A Disciple’s Path” and will be preaching on “The Path of Biblical Prayer” (Matthew 6:5-15)

Building intimacy in a human relationship requires careful attention and intentional discipline. In the same way, prayer is about cultivating a relationship with God and that also takes time. How do we do that?
For a list of small groups currently participating in our church-wide study, click here.

Listen to 239 past sermons by Pastors Kenny Newsome, Dan Elmore and others in the Pender Podcast.
