The Wellness of You — #219 — Another Habit?
posted in Nutrition and Weight Loss |As mentioned last week, we’re going to be talking about some bad eating habits over the next few weeks — and what to do about them. I know that I sure find myself with some of these habits and would like to know what to do to avoid them. So, while I hope I’m helping you to resolve any of these habits — I also am striving to help myself in the process.
Here’s the bad eating habit for this week —
Speed Eating!
This is one of the sure ways to set yourself up for some serious stomach troubles down the road.
When you gulp your food you tend to take in excess air. That excess air can lead to bloating or gas. Another aspect of fast eating is that you’re not chewing your food properly. You need saliva to break food down. When you eat fast, your saliva doesn’t get a chance to interact with the food and the rest of your digestive tract has to work much harder to break the food down for digestion. This can contribute to indigestion and can leave an excess of acids undigested in your stomach. That acid can lead to stomach ulcers.
Speed-eating also doesn’t give your brain enough time to catch up with your stomach. Your brain needs at least 20 minutes to get the message that your stomach is full. A recent study found that women who ate a meal in 30 minutes ate 10 percent fewer calories compared with those who wolfed a meal down in barely 10 minutes.
The best way to combat speed-eating is to just slow down. Take your time and enjoy your food. Avoid finger foods and instead choose items you have to put on a plate and eat with utensils. Eat foods that you need to take time to chew. Pause often as you eat and drink water throughout your meals.

As you know, I do practice sitting, silent meditation every day in my life. Recently, I did a podcast about this for another blog that I read. Take a moment and click this link to hear what meditation means to me and what it does for me.
In my meditation I use what I truly believe is the most powerful personal growth and mind development tool on earth. It’s the The Holosync Solution. I knew that meditation was a vital element to nurturing my soul — to opening myself to the universe — and this tool has allowed me to achieve and receive the benefits of deep, long-term meditation — and to achieve it much more quickly. If you’re having trouble “getting meditation to work for you” – then the The Holosync Solution is what you’re looking for.
Regular, daily meditation can give you …
(1) Increased intelligence and creativity.
(2) Lower stress levels — and with that — increased ability to handle whatever the world tosses your way.
(3) New levels of self-awareness and inner peace.
(4) The healing of emotional issues at the deepest levels —
— it’s definitely worth taking the time for this powerful practice every day.
