Children who regulate their weight in all zenitude
Mindfulness or “awareness of the present moment” is practiced by stressed, agitated or even anxious people. Meditationis increasingly analyzed and dissected by the medical community. Matthieu Ricard has personally lent himself to multiple research programs to validate various experiments.
What is meditating?
We are all, at one time or another, seeking more peace and harmony. Too much turmoil and irritation in this life sometimes lived as “meaningless”. The downside is that when we are stressed, anxious, we communicate to our loved ones these negative states.
Finding peace isnot so easy, especially since we do not always opt for the right solutions. So, in order not to confront unwanted and unwanted situations, what do we do? Generally bad tools are used: taking power over the other, showing misplaced authority, lamenting, moaning, getting angry, etc.
So how to live more serenely? Before the negative emotion invades you, you have to bring your attention back to yourself. There is nothing selfish about that, on the contrary. To achieve this, a meaningful phrase can be rehashed, relentlessly, until inner peace is found. A glass of water, slowly drunk, also helps to soothe the body and therefore the mind. Because no tension can settle in a calm and relaxed body. However, with these techniques, negativity is just pushed back to the unconscious.
When constant training on breathing and body sensations is practiced, a mental balance is established. Regularity is easy to understand because the more we practice Mindfulness, the faster the negativity dissipates and the mind is purified. This seems incongruous but, through scientific studies, is easily verified. MRI sessions were able toprove the researchers’ findings.
How does meditation help obese children?
Meditation, this mental technique that makes it possible to become aware of the present moment, is scrutinized by American scientists (Drs. Ronald Cowan and Kevin Niswender) who reveal that it is possible toreduce the risk of obesity by nearly 50% in the youngestamong us(2).
Indeed, children who find themselves overweight have a cerebral imbalance. It is the latter that unconsciously encourages them to overeat or eat uncontrollably outside normal meal times or in exaggerated quantities.
In fact, these bad behaviorsare directly, and physiologically, related to a neuronal disturbance responsible for inhibition and impulse.
Thus, children who eat too much fatty, salty, sweet food, have denser connections in the area related to impulsivity and much less in that of inhibition.
Brain plasticity is more assertive in children. Thus, a few well-conducted sessions produce an almost instantaneous positive effect in the youngest. By the regular practice of these trainings, obesity can be fought with pedagogy and benevolence. A few minutes a day may be enough.
It is therefore a fact: Mindfulness courses followed with consistency make it possible to “recalibrate” the cerebral connections. The “impulsive zone” is appeased thanks to the “inhibitory zone” which will gradually be under the child’s control. This information is crucial because meditation is not only indicated in the fight against overweight butalso to manage addictions , paralyzing emotions, acquired bad behavioral habits, etc.
