Ep 80 | Why We Overeat and How to Stop It

Aug 22, 2020

Happy Warriors are not tennis balls floating down the gutter of life. We control our lives and that includes taming our bodies. It would be hard to think of anything you could do immediately to improve your health than eating less. But darn! Eating just feels so good. And, above all, I am SOO hungry. Ever wondered why medical literature before 1962 had almost no mention of peanut allergies and eating disorders? Because they didn’t have those things then, that’s why. In this show we’re not exploring nut allergies, but I do explain exactly why, nowadays, very many young people do suffer from eating disorders. Understanding the reason will help you regain your once svelte figure. Why should COVID-19 cause Americans to add weight? Why should a bunch of barbarians rioting in the streets cause you to eat more? But they do. Here’s what to do about it. In our bodies, parts of which are generally uni-functional (we don’t smell AND hear with our ears), why are our mouths multi-use appliances? We eat and speak with the same facial orifice (but never at the same time!) Learn how to eat until you’re fulfilled, not until you are filled. One difference between breast-feeding a baby and bottle feeding it. How blind people eat differently and the three steps you can take to eat properly and stop overeating.
