Food is in a direct relationship with the traditions and connections we have in our lives, especially during this time of the year – the successive holidays!
It is with no doubt that there is pleasure in satisfying real hunger; however, there are cases that some people fall into the mouth-watering temptation possessed by the sweets, meat, and everything else on the table that they tend to just eat and eat and eat, while others tend to miss the enjoyment of the occasion because they overly think about ‘healthy eating’.
How do we balance the sanctity of the occasion with the sanctity of our bodies and of our own well-being? How do we reconcile with that and finally live the life of our dreams?
Join us as we talk about food and tradition in today’s episode of Health Bite!
What you will learn from this episode:
Key Takeaways:
“Prayer – whether it’s just gratitude or religious practice – evokes a sense of mindfulness, presence, savoring, and therefore, enjoyment for our meal.” – Adrienne Youdim
“Our traditions are really in line with health practices. The intersection between our religious laws, cultural traditions, and science is a testament to the importance of these simple practices as a guide to better health and wellbeing.” – Adrienne Youdim
“We can honor our traditions while also honoring our desire to be well.“ – Adrienne Youdim
It is a great way of understanding why people struggle with their weight every day due to the lack of desire to eat certain things they enjoy eating as well as other factors such as stress levels, which affect the production of ghrelin hormone (the "I'm hungry" hormone).
