Do This One Small Dietary Shift For Greater Health and Weight Loss

By Unknown | Published Thursday, June 25, 2015

'Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to eat food all of the time. Your digestive organs need a break from time to time. They are not designed to be working 24/7 for every week of your life!
Furthermore, when your body is constantly eating and consistently in a state of digestion, it sends the message of ‘abundance’ to your cells. This allows your cells to reproduce faster. They divide instead of fixing the broken ones. This is not what you want.'

By Unknown | Published Thursday, May 14, 2015

'Researchers at Oregon State University are looking into the cancer protective effects of a flavonoid found in hops, the plants that give beer its bitter flavor. The flavonoid, xanthohumol, can help protect against cancer, at least in cell culture.

The Weight Loss Industry Has Nothing to do with Health

'The diet industry reached 61 BILLION dollars in 2013 in the United States alone, but people are fatter than ever. Between magic pills, diet food, and commercial weight loss plans, the obesity epidemic is a HUGE business.

Despite all of the do-good advertising and the inspiring slogans, the secret is, the diet industry doesn’t actually want you to lose weight, at least not for the long term. A customer who fails to maintain weight loss ends up being a long-term customer, contributing to the business’s bottom line. Richard Samber, the former Finance Director for Weight Watchers, was questioned about the company’s 16 percent success rate after five years. Get ready….he explained “that the business is successful ‘because the other 84 percent have to come back and do it again.'

6 Mindfulness Exercises to Lose Weight and Gain Peace of Mind

By Unknown | Published Monday, July 7, 2014

'When you think about mindfulness exercises, you probably don’t think about the kind of exercise that helps you lose weight. But thankfully, there’s one new approach to mindfulness, which actually helps you slim down as you ‘wake up’! It’s called the meditation diet.

We first heard about the meditation diet from Leo Babauta and the folks over at ZenHabits. “When walking, walk. When eating, eat.” Leo put this proverb into practice and in a few years, he lost over 60 pounds.

If you think about it, we often eat while watching TV, reading, or talking with people, and we don’t really pay attention to our food. Without realizing it, we can end up eating out of habit when we’re not really hungry, or maybe we eat because we’re lonely, bored, or depressed.

A ‘Meditation diet’ helps change this by adding the ritual of eating to our toolbox of mindfulness exercises. Learn to savor the taste, feel the nourishment and appreciate the work that went into producing the food on your plate – all while eating healthier and losing weight!'
