View weird in every aspect of life THE EIGHT BEATITUDES OF JESUS Jesus Christ gave us the eight Beatitudes in the Sermon on the Mount, recorded for all posterity in the Gospel of Matthew, the first Book of the New Testament of the Bible. Matthew's Gospel was directed to an audience steeped in Hebrew tradition. The Gospel of Matthew stressed that Jesus Christ is the Messiah foretold in Hebrew Scripture, our Old Testament, and that the Kingdom of the Messiah is the Kingdom of God in Heaven. Jesus offers us a way of life that promises eternity in the Kingdom of Heaven. The teachings of Christ Jesus were simple but unique and innovative at the time of his life on earth. The Ten Commandments, given to Moses on Mount Sinai in the Old Testament Book of Exodus, related a series of "Thou shalt not" phrases, evils one must avoid in daily life on earth. In contrast, the message of Jesus is one of humility, charity, and brotherly love. An early contemplation on the Beatitudes came from St. "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." St.
How to Take a Yoga Break at Work If you work a 9 to 5 job, it can be challenging to find the time and the motivation to attend yoga classes regularly. You’re at work during most class times, and in the evenings, you’re probably drained, hungry and ready to relax.

Most office environments have chairs that are un-friendly to your lower back, hips, and hamstrings. 3. 4. 5.

Strict protein combining is not necessary; it is more important to eat a varied diet throughout the day. Some Americans are obsessed with protein. How much protein do we need? So, in the United States it appears that vegan diets are commonly lower in protein than standard American diets. Table 2 shows the amount of protein in various vegan foods and also the number of grams of protein per 100 calories. It is very easy for a vegan diet to meet the recommendations for protein.

Public 'need to be more honest about eating habits' 13 October 2011Last updated at 14:40 By Nick Triggle Health correspondent, BBC News Dame Sally Davies: "People are not honest with themselves about what they're eating and drinking " People need to be more honest about how much they eat and drink if obesity levels are to be cut, ministers say. The message formed a central theme of the new obesity strategy for England as the government tried to stress the importance of personal responsibility. In doing so, it rejected calls to introduce legislation to change behaviour, such as a "fat tax".
