To Share His Love…

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1 NLT


In the beginning, God`s limitless power, wisdom and Love wanted on thing. He wanted someone with whom to share his Love. So He set about creating the universe. Words flowed from his mouth, forming planets and stars, continents and oceans. Yet as detailed and amazing as they were, they were only the stage for his dearest and best creation: you.

God created everything needed for you to live and for Him to express His Love to you. And He created you in His image with a heart that could accept His Love and reciprocate it. God wants to share Himself with you. Today, open your heart to Him. He is waiting.

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for the creation such an amazing universe and for loving me. Help me to know your Love and show you love in return. Amen.

“Let them praise the name of the Lord because they were created by his command.”
Psalm 148:5 GWT

Strength Training Cuts Risk of Cancer Death by 40%...

Although overall cancer death rates have dropped nearly 20% over the past 15-20 years, deaths from specific types of cancer that are associated with obesity continue to rise. It turns out Resistance Exercise may further reduce overall cancer deaths despite elevated Body Mass Index (BMI), and hence impact the rate of cancer-related deaths regardless of obesity.

Researchers at the Cooper Institute tracked 8,677 men between the ages of 20 and 82 over a 23-year period beginning in 1980. The data was obtained as part of the Aerobics Centre Longitudinal Study. Information on the participants muscle strength and adiposity were correlated with the incidence of cancer death over the study period. Strength was assessed using the 1-repetition maximum for both the bench press and leg press exercises. Body mass index along with body fat percentage and waist circumference was used to determine adiposity.

Over the study period, men with the greatest strength associated with regular resistance exercise were 30-40% less likely to die from a cancerous tumor. This benefit remained after accounting for adiposity.

Previous research has identified connections between aerobic exercise and weight loss on the incidence of cancer deaths. The researchers suggest that men regularly participate in Resistance Exercise at least twice weekly to achieve the benefits uncovered in this study.
