Scripture
Romans 14:14-18: I know and am convinced on the authority of the Lord Jesus that no food, in and of itself, is wrong to eat. But if someone believes it is wrong, then for that person it is wrong.
15 And if another believer is distressed by what you eat, you are not acting in love if you eat it. Don’t let your eating ruin someone for whom Christ died.
16 Then you will not be criticized for doing something you believe is good.
17 For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
18 If you serve Christ with this attitude, you will please God, and others will approve of you, too.
September: Prostate Health Awareness
Understanding Your Prostate
The prostate is a small gland inside a man's body. It is about the size of a walnut. As men get older, the prostate can grow bigger. This is normal, but a larger prostate can
press on the bladder and make it harder to go to the bathroom.
Simple Steps for Prostate Health
● Get Regular Checkups: Seeing a doctor helps catch changes early. Men should ask their doctor about simple prostate checks starting at age 50—or at age 45 if
prostate problems run in the family.
● Eat Cooked Tomatoes & Seeds: Foods like cooked tomatoes, garlic, and pumpkin seeds contain natural nutrients that help protect prostate cells.
● Watch for Warning Signs: Talk to a doctor if you feel a weak urine stream, need to go to the bathroom often at night, or feel pain while going.
Healthy Aging for Everyone
Taking Care of Your Body as You Age Healthy aging is about keeping your heart, bones, muscles, and mind strong so you can stay active and independent every day. As bodies age, muscles lose strength and joints can stiffen, but simple daily habits help slow down these changes.
Core Habits for Healthy Aging
● Keep Moving: Daily walking, light stretching, or carrying groceries keeps your heart strong, builds muscle, and protects your joints.
● Drink Plenty of Water: Drinking water throughout the day keeps your energy up, helps your brain stay sharp, and keeps your kidneys and bladder working well.
● Eat Fresh, Whole Foods: Building meals around vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy oils reduces swelling in the body and protects your heart and
brain.
● Stay Connected: Spending time with family, friends, or community groups helps keep your mind sharp and supports emotional health.
