Shaklee Distributor in Dallas gives lessons in speed eating.
Many of us are living a fast-paced lifestyle. We do most every thing in a hurry, just to get to the next item on our agenda and then race through that as well.
One harmful affect of living in the fast lane is that our pace generally doesn’t slow down for our meals. We grab something quick, gobble it down and move on. This is not beneficial for our digestive system and eventually for our waist line.
When we don’t get out of that “fight or flight” mode for lunch or even dinner, our bodies do not handle food the way they should. Because we are stressed, our “food handling processes” are put on the back burner and are not digesting our food properly. It sits in our stomach longer than it should and we begin to experience heartburn and other symptoms of mal-absorption.

Another problem is that when eating fast, we eat more. Our bodies do not signal our brains that we have had enough until it is too late.
Some things to change are:
1. Do NOT eat in the car.

2. Set a timer and take 20 minutes to eat.

3. Put your fork down between each bite.

4. Sip water between each bite.

5. Eat at a table or designated place.

6. Get up from the table halfway into your meal and then return to it in a few minutes.

Shaklee distributor in Dallas looks at supersize me.

There is a business man in Indiana who is capitalizing on the American phenomenon of people who eat more than they should. Now instead of them asking the counter clerk at the local fast food chain restaurant to “supersize that meal”, their relatives are asking the funeral director to supersize their loved one’s casket. The death of obese persons is often masked as a common disease, but most likely that death was caused by symptoms of being morbidly overweight.

This business man in LYNN, Indiana, a casket maker specializing in oversize caskets, says business is booming along with America’s obesity epidemic. Because we, as a nation, are growing bigger and bigger, we are requiring larger and larger caskets for burial. Also, this morbidly obese condition is causing earlier death and is increasing the general mortality rate.

We don’t have to continue this trend. As individuals, we must take control of our lives, including our eating habits and the emotions that trigger the bad habits. Avoid the “super size me” conversation at the funeral home by sharing with your loved ones that you want them to be around for a long, healthy time.
