Obesity is a big problem in America, with 74% of the population overweight. As you grow older, you likely will become more sedentary which can result in senior obesity. This can create a domino effect of health issues such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer and a high risk of stroke. Lisa Young, a registered dietitian nutritionist and the author of “Finally Full, Finally Slim†recently gave a speech at the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo has a number of tips to help you keep the weight off. One of the more helpful ones is “Mindful eating is a tool to help with weight loss. It helps you focus on your hunger and fullness levels, so you are eating because you are hungry, and you want that food – not because a big portion is in front of you.â€Â Mindful or Intuitive eating can also help you ask yourself, “Do I like this food†or “Am I really hungry?’ This ultimately helps you eat a smaller portion and can lead to weight loss.
