Tag: Avoid overeating

According to a study published by the American Heart Association, adults in the United States spend just over an hour a day on average eating, but nearly three hours watching television. This statistic highlights a fundamental issue with modern eating habits and underscores the importance of learning the right way to eat your food to re-establish a healthy relationship with nutrition.

The Okinawan people, renowned for their longevity, practice the Confucian-inspired principle of "Hara Hachi Bu"—eating until they are 80 percent full. This ancient wisdom offers a powerful lesson for modern diets, helping us answer the question, "How do you know when your stomach is 80 full?" by connecting with our body's subtle signals and preventing overconsumption.
