Document Summary
Mantra meditation is meditating while repeating a mantra out loud or in your head. Good nutrition can buffer against disease and distress. Low energy and fatigue make a person less able to handle stress and they are vulnerable to a wide range of problems. Invisible nutrition - not eating the right kind of food, so the body is not getting enough nutrients although you may be eating a lot of calories. Yo-yo dieting increases preferences for fatty foods, lowers metabolic rate, increases risk for heart disease and likely makes it even harder to lose weight. Increased risk of health issues like cancer, diabetes, heart disease, heart attack, stroke, arthritis, and more. Obesity is huge and costs us a lot of money economically. Childhood obesity increased by double in the past 20 years. Associated with precocious puberty (too early puberty ~ age 8 or sooner) in girls. Too much fat - heart disease, cancer, obesity.
