🍔🍕 Indulging vs. Balance: The Battle with Overeating 🍔🍕
What have you done whenever you've gotten your hands on your favorite food? 🤔I have overeaten; many of us do. 😅
I don't know where we find the power and capacity to consume so much even when we're full, all because it's our favorite food. (My favorite? Authentic Chinese Noodles! 🍜)
Overeating has its downsides: bloating, digestive discomfort, and even long-term issues like obesity. But in the moment, the taste is hard to resist, right? 😋
Some restaurants and FMCG companies also add Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) to enhance flavor. MSG is found in restaurant dishes, canned veggies, soups, and more. Sneaky, isn't it? 👀
So, what can we do to curb this pattern?
Enter "Hara Hachi Bu" - Rooted in Okinawan culture and influenced by Confucian teachings, this concept advocates for eating until you're about 80% full. It's a mindful approach that encourages moderation, a connection to our body's signals, and a harmonious relationship with food.
🌟 The Benefits of Hara Hachi Bu 🌟
