In a recent statement
released by the White House “Yoga has become a universal language of spiritual
exercise in the United States, crossing many lines of religion and
cultures. Every day, millions of people practice yoga to improve their
health and overall well-being. That’s why we’re encouraging everyone to
take part in PALA+”
PALA+ is the next phase of
PALA (Presidential Active Lifestyle Award), an element of the President’s
Challenge, formulated to motivate Americans to incorporate physical activity
and healthy eating into their everyday life.
The physical activity
requirements for PALA+ remain the same: 60 minutes per day for children and 30
minutes per day for adults; five days a week for six out of eight weeks.
The new nutrition component
calls for participants to set and achieve one healthy eating goal per week;
building upon each goal throughout the eight weeks.
According to Anita Ahn,
Director of the EarthMind Wellness Center at Honor’s Haven Resort & Spa,
“Mindful eating is definitely an attainable goal that all Americans should
strive for.”
Mindful eating is not a diet
or about giving up anything at all, explains Ahn, “It’s about experiencing food
on a deeper level. By mindfully chewing more than 30 times, your mind naturally
focuses on eating 100%; opening up a subtle awareness of our often unconscious
eating habits.” As a result continues Ahn, “you can really reconnect with
your body and recognize whether the food you are ingesting is really what your
body needs.”
To help you achieve mindful
eating, Ahn and her colleagues at the EarthMind Wellness Center have created
the R&R Getaway; a holistic wellness package bursting with the fundamental
health benefits needed to attain your PALA+ goals.
