This document summarizes information from the Pennington Nutrition Series on body mass index (BMI), overweight and obesity definitions, chronic disease risk factors, behavior change tools for weight loss, diet plans like the exchange diet and meal replacements, weight loss medications, and weight loss surgeries. The Pennington Biomedical Research Center conducts research to promote healthier lives through nutrition and preventive medicine research and education.
Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than burned. It affects over 1.5 billion people worldwide, with the highest rates in the US at 68% of the population. Body weight can be controlled through diet, exercise, lifestyle changes, anti-obesity drugs, and surgery. Approved anti-obesity drugs include Orlistat which reduces fat absorption, and newer drugs like Qysmia and Lorcaserin which suppress appetite. Herbal supplements for weight loss include green tea, chitosan, and chromium picolinate, but they have potential side effects and their efficacy is unclear. Long-term lifestyle management is important for sustainable weight control and reducing health risks of obesity.
The document discusses body mass index (BMI) and defines overweight and obesity based on BMI ranges. It also discusses the importance of waist circumference in assessing chronic disease risk. Exercise is recommended for weight loss and maintenance, with a minimum of 150-200 minutes per week of moderate activity. Both aerobic and anaerobic exercise are described, with aerobic exercise being most beneficial for heart and lung health as well as reducing abdominal fat. A 12-week walking plan is provided as an example of increasing exercise duration safely over time. The Pennington Biomedical Research Center is introduced as focusing on nutrition research to promote healthier lives.
This document provides an overview of energy balance and weight control. It discusses factors that influence basal metabolism and physical activity, and how they impact energy needs and expenditure. The document estimates calorie needs and defines healthy versus unhealthy body weights using BMI. It also examines causes of obesity and strategies for successful weight loss and maintenance through calorie control, physical activity, and behavior modification.
Self-monitoring involves observing and recording aspects of one's behavior such as calorie intake, exercise, and weight. It provides encouragement and accountability, allowing one to track improvements and catch weight gain early. Records also ensure proper nutrition and aid healthcare providers. Self-monitoring has been shown to benefit weight loss maintenance after programs end by extending behavior modification.
This document provides information on diet counselling for reducing obesity risks. It defines obesity as excessive body fat accumulation of at least 20% higher than ideal weight. Obesity is a serious health issue that increases risks of diseases like diabetes and heart disease. Dietary treatments for obesity include low-calorie diets, meal replacements, very low-calorie diets, and consideration of macronutrient composition, portion size, energy density and satiety. Behavioral changes like eating at set meal times and preparing more home-cooked meals can also help reduce risks of obesity.
This document provides 20 tips for losing belly fat that are backed by scientific studies. Some key tips mentioned include eating plenty of soluble fiber and foods high in fiber; limiting intake of trans fats, alcohol, and sugary foods; doing aerobic exercise; reducing carb intake; getting enough sleep; and tracking food intake and calories. Probiotics, apple cider vinegar, and omega-3 fatty acids from fish are also discussed as potential aids for reducing belly fat.
Belly fat is more than a nuisance that makes your clothes feel tight.
It’s seriously harmful.
One type of belly fat — referred to as visceral fat — is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes,
heart disease, and other conditions (1 ).
Many health organizations use body mass index (BMI) to classify weight and predict the risk of
metabolic disease.
However, this is misleading, as people with excess belly fat are at an increased risk even if they
look thin (2 ).
Though losing fat from this area can be difficult, there are several things you can do to reduce
excess abdominal fat.
Here are 20 effective tips to lose belly fat, backed by scientific studies.
20 Effective Tips to Lose Belly Fat (Backed by Science)Sofia Kiven
1. Soluble fiber may help you to lose weight by increasing fullness and reducing calorie absorption. Try to include plenty of high fiber foods in your weight loss diet.
2. Some studies have linked a high intake of trans fat to increased belly fat. Regardless of whether you’re trying to lose weight, limiting your intake of trans fat is a good idea.
3. Excessive alcohol intake has been associated with increased belly fat. If you need to reduce your waistline, consider drinking alcohol in moderation or abstaining completely.

This document discusses obesity treatment options including medication and surgery. It provides details on 3 FDA-approved weight loss medications: Phentermine, Sibutramine, and Orlistat. It describes their mechanisms of action and effectiveness. The document also discusses 2 types of weight loss surgery - malabsorptive procedures like Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and restrictive procedures like gastric banding. It notes surgery is for those with a BMI over 40 or over 35 with comorbidities, and results in 60-90% excess weight loss.
1. Soluble fiber may help reduce belly fat by increasing fullness and decreasing calorie absorption. High-fiber foods like flax seeds, shirataki noodles, and Brussels sprouts can help you lose weight.
2. Both trans fats and excessive alcohol intake have been associated with increased belly fat. Limiting trans fats and drinking alcohol in moderation may reduce waist size.
3. Eating a high-protein diet, reducing stress levels, limiting sugary foods, and doing aerobic exercise, especially for 300 minutes per week, are effective strategies for losing belly fat backed by scientific studies.
This document provides information on safe and effective weight loss strategies. It discusses that most Americans have high-fat, high-sugar diets and lack exercise, leading to obesity. Several physiological factors influence individual sensitivity to weight gain, including brain serotonin levels, metabolism, and insulin sensitivity. Successful weight loss requires improving insulin sensitivity through exercise to reset the body's "set point" and increase calorie burning. Exercise is essential for weight loss to build muscle mass and maintain metabolism during dieting.
This document provides information about obesity in Egypt and the weight loss supplement Juliea. Some key points:
- Egypt has one of the highest rates of obesity in Africa, with nearly 70% of adults overweight or obese. More Egyptian women are overweight than men.
- Juliea contains ingredients like Garcinia Cambogia, green tea extract, and fiber to suppress appetite and fat synthesis and promote weight loss.
- It aims to safely and effectively help customers lose weight through its multiple mechanisms of action without serious side effects.
This document outlines Dongliang Wang's contact information and provides an overview of obesity including its definition, harms, diagnosis, causes, and treatment through dietary changes. Key points discussed include defining obesity as 20% or more over ideal body weight, various health risks it poses, using BMI to diagnose it, the role of energy intake and expenditure in its development, and treating it by reducing total energy and fat intake while increasing protein and carbohydrates.
This document discusses the potential metabolic effects of three aspects of nutrition: saturated fats, refined carbohydrates, and overeating. It reviews research on how each can contribute to conditions like metabolic syndrome. Saturated fats may increase risk when consumed in excess, though their effects are complex and inconsistent in studies. Refined carbohydrates are easily digested, causing blood sugar and insulin spikes that can lead to fat storage and insulin resistance over time. Overeating stresses the body's ability to process nutrients, increasing fat storage regardless of diet composition. Managing total calorie intake and choosing whole, complex carbohydrates and unsaturated fats may help support metabolic health.
Regular exercise and managing carbohydrate intake through portion control can help lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity and reducing spikes. Eating plenty of fiber, staying hydrated, limiting stress, and monitoring blood sugar levels also supports management. Overall lifestyle habits like maintaining a moderate weight and getting quality sleep further optimize blood sugar control.
The document discusses body mass index (BMI) and factors that influence obesity. It defines BMI as a measure of body fat based on weight relative to height. The BMI formula is provided along with BMI categories and their corresponding weight status. Examples calculations are shown. Psychological, genetic, lifestyle, and economic factors that can contribute to obesity are then outlined, such as genetic defects affecting leptin production and response, use of food to manage emotions, sedentary lifestyles, poor dietary habits, and economic constraints influencing unhealthy food choices.
This document discusses why focusing on fitness rather than just weight loss is important for health. It notes that many people who appear skinny can still have high body fat levels and increased health risks. The key is to lose fat while maintaining muscle mass, as muscle plays an important role in metabolism and longevity. Crash dieting can cause muscle loss and a slowed metabolism. Maintaining strength during weight loss requires resistance training, adequate protein intake, and other nutrients to support muscle growth and adaptation. The goal should be improving body composition rather than just weight on a scale.
This document discusses healthy and unhealthy ways to manage weight. It outlines using body mass index (BMI) to determine a healthy weight and distinguishes between maintaining usual habits if at a healthy weight versus making changes like eating healthier foods and increasing exercise if overweight. The document also provides tips for losing weight such as increasing cardio workouts, cutting back on soda, and choosing healthier foods while exercising more.
The document discusses the Glycemic Index, which ranks foods based on how quickly they raise blood sugar levels after consumption. A high GI means blood sugar rises quickly, while a low GI means it rises slowly and stays steady. High GI foods break down rapidly, causing blood sugar fluctuations, while low GI foods break down slowly for stable blood sugar levels. However, a low GI food is not necessarily nutritious if it contains unhealthy ingredients like saturated fat or lacks nutrients. An overall balanced diet and exercise are most important for health.
RunaTea is a product by Infinity Pharm EG for the treatment of NAFLD and fatty liver. The document provides information on liver functions, causes of fatty liver like excess fat and alcohol, and conditions such as NAFLD and NASH. It discusses reactive oxygen species and their impacts, as well as antioxidants. RunaTea contains artichokes, chicory, soy lecithin, turmeric, zinc, selenium, and vitamin E which have hepatoprotective effects like preventing NAFLD development and lipid peroxidation while regenerating tissues and improving liver functions.
The document discusses various treatment options for obesity, including dietary approaches, exercise, behavioral therapy, medication, and surgery. It provides details on meal replacement plans, the exchange diet, types of aerobic and anaerobic exercise, very low calorie diets, and components of behavioral treatment programs. Surgical options like gastric banding, bypass procedures, and their risks and advantages are also outlined.
1) Alcohol consumption can cause both negative health effects such as increased risk of certain cancers, heart disease, and neurological disorders, as well as some cardiovascular benefits when consumed in moderation.
2) Binge drinking, defined as having more than 3-4 drinks in a short period, increases risks including stroke, heart conditions, and long-term health problems.
3) While moderate alcohol consumption may provide some heart benefits for some by raising HDL cholesterol, it is not recommended for everyone and excessive drinking can seriously damage health, leading to conditions like liver disease, brain damage, and fetal alcohol syndrome.
The document discusses how physical activity plays an important role in energy expenditure and balance, and is necessary along with diet control to lose or maintain weight. It outlines the many health benefits of regular exercise, including reduced risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and psychological disorders. Maintaining an active lifestyle through physical activity is important for both weight loss and prevention of weight regain.

Green tea is one of four types of tea that come from the plant Camellia sinensis. The beneficial effects of green tea are attributed to polyphenols called catechins, which make up 30% of dry green tea leaves. Catechins like EGCG are present in higher amounts in green tea than other teas due to differences in processing. Recent studies suggest catechins promote weight loss by inhibiting fat absorption and increasing fat burning. Animal studies show green tea supplementation decreases food intake, body weight gain, and fat mass. Green tea may be a valuable natural treatment for obesity.

Vitamin D is produced in the skin upon exposure to sunlight and plays an important role in bone health and cellular functions throughout the body. It is hydroxylated in the liver to 25-hydroxyvitamin D and then in the kidneys to its active form, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. Deficiency is linked to increased risk of various chronic diseases. Vitamin D receptors exist in most cells and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D has wide-ranging effects, including roles in immune function, cell growth regulation, and reduction of inflammation. Adequate vitamin D levels may protect against cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and autoimmune conditions like multiple sclerosis.

Many people confuse the two terms, often believing that they mean the same, when in fact weight loss and fat loss are very different from one another.
Weight loss is one of the most talked-about issues in history. Nowadays, it appears that everyone is attempting to lose weight. The majority of diet plans focus on weight loss, and body weight is frequently used as a gauge of fitness improvement. However, this is the wrong strategy. Your main objective should always be to lose weight, and you should focus on eliminating excess body fat. The terms "weight loss" and "fat loss" are not interchangeable. Many individuals mix up the two concepts, assuming they imply the same thing when they don't. Weight loss and fat loss are two completely separate things.
How to Lose Weight? Fast in 2 Weeks Naturally At Home…
September 1, 2023 by parthu
Losing weight may not be a universal solution for all health issues, but if your healthcare professional advises it, there are practical strategies to ensure you shed those pounds safely.
For sustainable, long-term weight management, it’s generally recommended to aim for a gradual weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds per week.
However, many weight loss diets on the market can leave you feeling unsatisfied or deprived, as they often eliminate important food groups and lack sustainability. These factors can make it challenging to adhere to a healthier eating regimen.
Each person has unique dietary needs and preferences, so what works for one individual may not necessarily work for another. You might discover that a low-carb diet or one focused on whole foods suits you, but there are some fundamental principles that apply when embarking on a weight loss journey.
Here are some evidence-based tips to assist you in your weight loss efforts:
Prioritize healthy eating: Opt for nutritious, balanced meals that provide essential vitamins and minerals. Avoid excessive consumption of processed foods and sugar.
Choose carbohydrates wisely: Select complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables over refined carbs. These can help regulate your appetite and maintain satiety.
Control your portions: Be mindful of portion sizes to avoid overeating, even with healthy foods.
Gradual weight loss: Aim for a steady, gradual reduction in weight rather than rapid weight loss, which is often difficult to sustain.
Focus on long-term health and habits: Instead of seeking quick fixes, concentrate on cultivating healthy habits that you can maintain over time. These are more likely to result in lasting weight loss and improved overall health.
Ultimately, the key to successful and sustainable weight loss is adopting a balanced, individualized approach that aligns with your unique needs and preferences while prioritizing your long-term well-being.

Incorporate a Balanced Mix of Protein, Fat, and Vegetables into Your Meals
To promote weight loss and maintain a well-rounded diet, aim for diversity in your meals. To achieve this balance and support your weight loss goals, ensure that your meals consist of:
A Source of Protein
A Source of Healthy Fat
A Generous Portion of Vegetables
A Small Portion of Complex Carbohydrates, Such as Whole Grains

When it comes to vegetables, don’t hesitate to fill your plate with vibrant, nutrient-rich greens. They provide essential vitamins and minerals without significantly increasing your calorie and carb
There is a multitude of diets intended for weight loss. Among the best known, we find the high protein diet, the mono-diet, or hypoglycemic diets. However, despite achieving short-term weight loss goals, these diets do not offer lasting results. Indeed, the best diet to lose weight remains the combination of a diet with high nutritional value, regular physical activity, and being in good health.

With a low carb eating plan, you’ll utilize burning stored fat for energy instead of carbs.
If you choose to eat more complex carbs like whole grains along with a calorie deficit, you’ll benefit from higher fiber and digest them more slowly. This makes them more filling to keep you satisfied.
A 2020 study confirmed that a very low carbohydrate diet was beneficial for losing weight in older populations (2).
Research also suggests that a low carb diet can reduce appetite, which may lead to eating fewer calories without thinking about it or feeling hungry (3Trusted Source).
Note that the long-term effects of a low carb diet are still being researched. It can also be difficult to adhere to a low carb diet, which may lead to yo-yo dieting and less success in maintaining a healthy weight.
There are potential downsides to a low carb diet that may lead you to a different method. Reduced calorie diets can also lead to weight loss and be easier to maintain for longer periods of time.
In today's age of constant bombardment by health trends, dietary fads, and celebrity-endorsed workout regimes, the true essence of healthy weight loss often gets obscured. This guide aims to shed light on what it truly means for women to lose weight healthily and sustainably.
Weight loss isn't just about dropping dress sizes or achieving a specific number on the scale. It's about nurturing the body, understanding its needs, and fostering a positive relationship with oneself. As women, we face unique challenges, whether societal or biological. By understanding these challenges and equipping ourselves with the right knowledge, achieving and maintaining a healthy weight becomes an empowering journey rather than a daunting task.
Moderation in eating means observing reasonable limits and avoiding extremes. Eating appropriate portion sizes for one's body type and balancing food intake are important for health. Moderating food intake can help with weight control, improve digestion, balance blood sugar levels, and support overall health and wellness. No single food should be overconsumed, and individuals should aim for a varied diet containing nutrients from different food groups. Eating moderately as a lifestyle supports population health by decreasing issues like obesity and related healthcare costs.
Reducing sugars and starches, or carbs, from your diet can help curb appetite and make you lose weight by lowering insulin levels. However, long-term effects are unknown, and reduced calorie diets may be more sustainable. To lose weight, assemble each meal with protein, healthy fats, complex carbs or vegetables. Include resistance training or cardio exercise. Counting calories can help with weight loss if not losing on low carb, but eating too few is dangerous.
This document discusses eating habits, weight control, and factors that affect weight management. It provides tips for improving eating habits such as keeping a food diary to identify triggers for overeating. Weight control involves achieving a healthy weight based on gender, height and body frame through diet and exercise. Factors like genetics, hormones, environment, and energy balance can influence weight. Fad diets that promise quick results without effort are not effective for long-term weight loss or health. Dietary supplements can provide additional nutrients but are not intended to treat diseases.

Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than are expended through physical activity over a long period of time. It can be classified based on body fat distribution as either "apple shaped" with weight centered around the abdomen, or "pear shaped" with weight centered around the hips and thighs. Losing as little as 5% of body weight can lower health risks, and slow weight loss of 0.5 kg per week through balanced diet and regular physical activity is the safest approach to weight management. Key recommendations include choosing nutrient-dense foods, limiting intake of saturated and trans fats, engaging in moderate physical activity daily, and consuming alcohol in moderation if at all.

This document discusses gluten free eating and its benefits. It states that individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity cannot eat foods containing gluten, which is found in wheat, barley, and rye. It provides lists of hidden sources of gluten and acceptable gluten-free grains and starches. The document recommends eating gluten-free only if medically necessary, as it can be expensive and risk nutrient deficiencies. Whole grains are promoted as heart-healthy due to fiber, vitamins, and minerals that may reduce risks for chronic diseases.
Coconut oil has various health benefits. It contains antioxidants and antimicrobial fatty acids. While high in saturated fat, studies show coconut oil may not increase heart disease risk like other saturated fats due to its unique fatty acid composition. Coconut oil is solid at room temperature and can be used for cooking or baking, where it adds flavor and has a higher burning point than other oils. The fatty acids in coconut oil are metabolized differently than other fats and may provide benefits for conditions like malabsorption.
This document summarizes the health effects of coconut oil by comparing its fatty acid composition to other oils like corn oil. It finds that while coconut oil has more saturated fat than corn oil, its medium-chain fatty acids may provide benefits like supporting immune function and reducing abdominal fat. However, it cautions that coconut oil should not completely replace unsaturated vegetable oils which provide essential fatty acids and are generally healthier. Overall, the document concludes coconut oil can be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet for its possible health benefits and flavor in cooking.
Resveratrol is a compound found in various plants and foods like grapes, blueberries, and red wine. It has many health benefits such as being an antioxidant that reduces oxidative damage, inhibiting cancer development at various stages, reducing inflammation, and helping to regulate blood glucose and lipid levels. Resveratrol protects cells and tissues from damage by reducing free radicals, preventing platelet aggregation, inhibiting cancer-promoting enzymes, and modulating inflammatory pathways. These properties may help prevent chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and neurodegenerative conditions.
The document discusses the health benefits of blueberries. It states that blueberries contain phytochemicals called anthocyanins that act as antioxidants and may reduce the risk of chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease. Regular consumption of blueberries may improve brain, vision and heart health, and reduce the risk of conditions like diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. The document concludes that blueberries are a superfood due to the various health benefits provided by their phytochemical content.
This document provides an overview of research on flavonoids found in cocoa and chocolate. It summarizes that cocoa and chocolate are high in flavonoids like catechins and epicatechins which have been linked to health benefits. Studies show these flavonoids can improve blood vessel function, lower blood pressure, and reduce risk factors for cardiovascular disease by reducing oxidation of LDL cholesterol and inhibiting platelet aggregation. However, the amount of flavonoids varies depending on cocoa processing and the type of chocolate. More research is still needed on the long term effects of cocoa flavonoids in humans.
This document provides information about blueberries, including:
- Blueberries have many health benefits and antioxidant compounds that may delay chronic diseases.
- They are related to cranberries, bilberries, and cowberries, and are cultivated and picked wild.
- Blueberries have the highest concentration of antioxidants and may reduce cancer and heart disease risk by inhibiting tumor growth and reducing risk factors.
The document discusses the DASH diet plan for reducing hypertension. It provides information on hypertension prevalence, blood pressure goals, and how high blood pressure affects the body. The DASH diet is highlighted as an effective non-pharmacological approach to treating hypertension through its focus on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy while limiting sodium, red meat, and sugar. Weight loss through diet and exercise is also emphasized as important for reducing hypertension risk factors like obesity.
Gestational diabetes occurs in approximately 5% of pregnancies and results in high blood sugar levels during pregnancy. It develops when the placenta produces hormones that prevent the mother's cells from properly using insulin. To manage gestational diabetes, patients must monitor their blood sugar levels, follow a healthy diet with balanced carbohydrate intake, engage in moderate physical activity, and potentially take insulin or other medications. Maintaining blood sugar control is important for the health of both the mother and baby.
This document discusses several studies related to gestational diabetes and macrosomia. The first study found that maternal BMI had a greater influence on the development of large for gestational age (LGA) babies than glucose control. A second study identified that maternal BMI and LGA in a previous pregnancy most influenced fetal growth in the late second and early third trimesters, while maternal glycemia predominantly impacted growth later in the third trimester. A third study examined the degree of glucose control needed in women with type 1 diabetes to achieve normal fetal growth and neonatal proportions.
This document discusses common complications that can arise from diabetes, including heart disease, kidney disease, eye complications, nerve damage, foot complications, skin complications, and depression. It provides details on each complication, such as how diabetes increases the risks of heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure. It emphasizes the importance of controlling blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol to reduce health risks.
This document discusses obesity in teens and children. It finds that Mexican-American and non-Hispanic black youth have higher rates of overweight than white youth. Adolescents and older adults are more likely to be overweight than younger groups. Obesity results from long-term energy imbalance where calories consumed exceed calories used. Having two overweight parents significantly increases a child's risk of becoming overweight themselves. Measuring tricep skinfold thickness from ages 3 to 17 showed children of two obese parents were three times as fat as children of two lean parents by age 17.
This document provides an overview of childhood obesity including prevalence, risks, environmental and genetic factors, critical periods of development, diet, physical activity, and recommendations for prevention. Some key points:
- Rates of childhood obesity in the US have increased 2-3 fold over the last 25 years. Approximately 18.8% of US children ages 6-11 are overweight.
- Risk factors for childhood obesity include family history, low income, lack of physical activity, excess calorie intake, excessive screen time, and lack of breastfeeding.
- Critical periods for the development of obesity are gestation, ages 5-6, and adolescence. Early life nutrition and growth patterns can impact future health.
This document discusses lycopene, a carotenoid pigment found in tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables. It provides lycopene's sources, history of research on it, levels of intake in different populations, content in various foods, biological activities including antioxidant effects, and potential health benefits related to reducing risks of certain cancers and cardiovascular disease. The Pennington Nutrition Series publishes research from the Pennington Biomedical Research Center on nutrition, chronic disease prevention, and healthy aging.
Grilling vegetables and fruits instead of red meats can reduce the risk of chronic diseases. When vegetables are grilled, they do not form cancer-causing compounds like meats do. Colorful vegetables like corn, zucchini, and bell peppers as well as fruits make for healthy grilling options. To prevent the formation of cancer-causing PAHs and HCAs when grilling meats, one should use techniques like pre-cooking meats, avoiding excess fat and charring, frequent flipping, and marinating meats in herbs and spices.
This document summarizes potential health benefits of green tea. It discusses how green tea contains polyphenols, particularly catechins like EGCG, that may provide benefits. Some potential benefits highlighted include reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, certain cancers, and neurodegenerative diseases. The document also discusses how green tea's antioxidants may protect cells from damage and help prevent chronic diseases associated with aging.
Genetic considerations in obesity developmenthelix1661
The document summarizes genetic research on human obesity from the Pennington Biomedical Research Center. It details that over 600 genes have been associated with obesity. Specific genetic disorders are described that can cause obesity like Cushing's syndrome. Mouse models are used to study obesity genes and their role in food intake and metabolism. Genome-wide studies have linked obesity phenotypes to particular chromosomes. The research aims to identify gene combinations and mutations that influence obesity risk and how they interact with environment.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
