Nearly 70% of U.S. adults are overweight and 35% are classified as obese. If prices continue, and many experts believe that they are 75% of the population is overweight or obese in 2020. Anyone who looks at the statistics obviously knows something is wrong. What could be the cause of this increase in weight problems?
One of the main reasons why we are today is a problem with obesity and digestive disorders in the world, that people do not have their meals to eat in a parasympathetic state. [1] s "It's not just what you eat but how, when and where you eat that makes a difference. During almost no one mentioned this cause of the problems with weight, which is discussing a topic that is still important to address one of the major health problems in the world.

Before I really get into the parasympathetic state is and how it can benefit your weight and digestion to check their status too quickly otherwise use. This condition is associated with the "fight or flight" and is active in response to stress, usually in the central nervous system. The environmental impact of something negative in the news, a violent film, an argument or general daily events caused can trigger this condition.
If this is successfully activated, the body releases adrenaline into the bloodstream, increases cortisol (fat storage hormone), and completely stops the digestion. The body is literally ready to fight or flee the situation, and he has little time to digest the food. . Many people eat in this area, the sympathetic nervous condition, and the efforts of digestion and weight loss [2] Examples of serious obstacles that may cause a low status in consumption:
- Eating while watching TV, especially the news
- Eating at the wheel
- Eating at your desk at work
- After the meal, a stressful work situation
- Talking food, while on the phone
- Food while chatting with someone
- Eat quickly, because you are late to work, school, appointments, etc.
- Eating fast food high
- Eating at a sporting event
- Eating while on prescription drugs stimulants
- Eat all depressed or anxious
How you or someone you know? The problem is that many people are in a constant state of use in these days because they never learned simple ways to manage stress. Eat in a parasympathetic state, perhaps the best way to get something to eat, consume to promote healthy digestion and weight loss. Fortunately, there are many simple techniques that you can do to get quick and easy in this state.
What is the parasympathetic state?
The parasympathetic state is otherwise in good condition and occurs when the body and mind completely relaxed. In this state of digestion and the body takes work to heal wounds and repair of tissues and cells. With good digestion is the proper absorption of nutrients, improves energy and metabolism. For in this relaxed state, you should turn off the TV, radio and other electronic devices that can cause unnecessary noise or mental stress. Do not hesitate to talk to your family at the table on the things that happen during the day, and talk about beautiful things, ideas and situations that occurred.
One way to quickly get into the parasympathetic state, while eating is the use of simple breathing exercises. These need not be long and hard; in fact, practicing a simple breathing a minute is all you really need to eat to relax the body and mind in preparation. Exhale take nine breaths through the nose and each breath slowly through your mouth. To do this until you feel you are completely relaxed and calm. This will help in the process of digestion and possibly reduce fat storage hormones such as cortisol.
If you have certain rituals before eating in order to carry out to relax? We would love to hear them!
