Stress

I went to a nutrition lunch and learn session today.  The speaker talks about different things... Most of them are well known by most people... Whether we can follow them?  ha ha ha...  sometimes...
It's very difficult to give up some pleasures in life... especially our taste buds...
We all work very hard, so we all need something that we can enjoy.... Delicious Food!!!

But I did learn something new in this session...

"Stress"... I like the definition of stress in this session:
Stress is about not being able to meet a demand & expectation!
I've never thought of stress in this sense...  When I hear the word "stress", I usually think about stress in terms of work...  lots of work... tight deadlines... etc...
"Not being able to meet a demand & expectation"...  That's what makes us unhappy...
In that sense, unhappy is a result of stress.
Using this definition...  I do agree that I am very stressed!   Not only me, I think 99.99% of world's population is also stressed.  :P

Another thing that I learned is that obesity may not be caused by too much eating and not enough exercise.  It could be caused by Hormone Imbalance.  Different hormone imbalance will cause different body area to be fat.

The speaker suggests the following good books.  May be I'll buy a copy and have a look... ;-)

•  The Hormone Diet: Lose Fat. Gain Strength. Live Younger Longer (by Natasha Turner)
• The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why (by Jonny Bowden)
