 Yoga
can go a long way in teaching asanas to control mindless
munching by relating to hunger, cravings and
eating behavior. Yoga can help you better associate with
internal cues like “fullness”, instead of external cues
like how much food is left on your plate. Check out this
week's article on
Yoga Asanas to Control Mindless Munching.

 Many
common medicines - including aspirin, cold therapies,
and some allergy medications - can increase your heart
rate. For most people, taking one of these as directed
seldom poses a problem. However, if you take one (or
more) of these medicines and then exercise, you could be
raising your heart rate too much. Discomfort, irregular
heartbeat or other problems could result.
Caution: Beware of throwing
caffeine-containing foods - which also stimulate the
heart - into the mix. By taking some of the medicines
mentioned above with your morning coffee or afternoon
cola, you could be raising your heart rate even more -
and making a workout even riskier.

The Higher you Aim
 When
things become difficult, and every effort seems to bring
disappointment, it can be tempting to lower your
expectations. It can seem like the most reasonable
response is to water down your goals and ambitions.
But that's exactly what you don't want to do. For
diminished expectations only lead to even more
diminished results. If the future equaled the past, then
it would make sense to set your sights lower in response
to difficulty and disappointment. Thankfully, though,
the future most certainly does not equal the past.
What you accomplish in the future depends on the
strength of what you intend to accomplish. The higher
you aim, the higher you will climb. Now that doesn't
mean borrowing a lot of money and spending it
frivolously, hoping to pay it back in the future. It
means being committed to doing whatever it takes to
responsibly and realistically reach the meaningful goals
you've set for yourself.
If you're getting disappointing results, it's not a sign
to give up on your dream. Instead, it's an opportunity
to make that dream so absolutely compelling that you
cannot fail to achieve it. |

 Why do many of us simply tend to eat and eat and eat. The answer to this uncontrolled munching lies in the fact that most of us are eating while distracted -- when watching TV, talking with family or friends, or eating in the car. Another external factor influencing how much we eat is serving size: If a larger serving is in front of us, we tend to eat more no matter what.
Convenience and visibility of a food is another factor -- if it’s easy to reach out and grab a food, we’ll be more likely to eat it. Even the way a room is lighted can cause us to eat more: Dim, soft lighting encourages us to prolong the eating experience and we eat more. Still other factors include stress, boredom or emotional reasons for eating. We do not rely on the internal cues, such as how hungry we are.
