Today we talk with Lisa Lyn about managing stress eating, we talk with Shawn Wells about how big business got Brazil hooked on junk food, and we talk with Daniel Tague about subsystems in the body.Lisa Lyn gives us a few tips on managing stress:

1. Get up and move!

2. Pace around

3. Stretch

4. Drink water/protein shake

Whenever you are feeling stressed, pause and take a break. Focus on your breath. Concentrate on belly breathing rather than breathing from the shoulders.Here are some questions Shawn Wells answers:

1. Is this really true that companies like Nestlé have door to door vendors that walk around poor neighborhoods with carts of junk food…Kit Kats, Puddings, Cereals, and Cakes?Yes. It is sad, but true. This massive conglomerate is in the business of profits and is expanding in to poorer or growing first world and second world countries as growth has slowed in the U.S. and Europe. They are in the business of addiction with sugar and calorie filled, nutrition-deprived foods. Here’s a sad quote when the NYT was interviewing on the young girls that was doing door to door sales: “She gestured to a home along her route and shook her head, recalling how its patriarch, a morbidly obese man, died the previous week. “He ate a piece of cake and died in his sleep,” she said.” Even more sad is the girl that’s being interviewed and doing the sales: “Mrs. De Silva, who herself weighs more than 200 pounds, recently discovered that she had high blood pressure, a condition she acknowledges is probably tied to her weakness for fried chicken and the Coca-Cola she drinks with every meal, breakfast included.”

1. This is awful and sad. Describe what Nestlé’s plan is.Sure. While the story takes place in Brazil, it involves the world…praying on those unaware of these foods being unhealthy and addictive, but knowing they are available and affordable. Nestlé’s direct-sales “army”, that goes door to door, in Brazil is part of a broader transformation of the food system that is delivering Western-style processed food and sugary drinks (JUNK FOOD) to the most isolated pockets of Latin America, Africa and Asia. As their growth slows in the wealthiest countries, multinational food companies like Nestlé, PepsiCo and General Mills have been aggressively expanding their presence in developing nations, unleashing a marketing juggernaut that is upending traditional diets from Brazil to Ghana to India. With our SAD (Standard American Diet) making those obese, sick, and disease-ridden off this poor excuse for food and beverage.

1. This is CRIMINAL. Lawsuit worthy. It’s upsetting.Yeah, it’s like selling cigarettes to people door to door, that have no idea how harmful or addictive they are. It’s like selling heroine and needles. It’s just garbage and its killing them. High profit, low nutrition, highly addictive sugar-filled empty calories. Getting otherwise healthy people obese and type II diabetes. We’re westernizing the rest of the world in the negative way (not the positives like democracy, technology, etc.). I agree, it is depressing. It is criminal. It is literally killing people in the name of profits.

1. What else does the New York Times have to say about this travesty?Check out these quotes: “A New York Times examination of corporate records, epidemiological studies and government reports — as well as interviews with scores of nutritionists and health experts around the world — reveals a sea change in the way food is produced, distributed and advertised across much of the globe. The shift, many public health experts say, is contributing to a new epidemic of diabetes and heart disease, chronic illnesses that are fed by soaring rates of obesity in places that struggled with hunger and malnutrition just a generation ago. The new reality is captured by a single, stark fact: Across the world, more people are now obese than underweight. At the same time, scientists say, the growing availability of high-calorie, nutrient-poor foods is generating a new type of malnutrition, one in which a growing number of people are both overweight and undernourished.”

1. What are the numbers of obesity like globally given all of this malicious profiteering?There are now more than 700 million obese people worldwide, 108 million of them children, per research published recently in The New England Journal of Medicine. The prevalence of obesity has doubled in 73 countries since 1980, contributing to four million premature deaths, the study found. Brazil in 1980 had 7% obese, in 2015 18%. Mali, in Africa has 0.7% and now has 11%. China 0.7%, now 5%. The U.S. 10% and now 27%. These numbers are alarming. 100s of thousands of years of history, things have not changed like this. And in the matter of a few decades they are radically changing and accelerating. Where we will be in 10 years in to the future should be horrifying. This is a true PANDEMIC (a global scale epidemic threatening the fate of the human race).

Daniel Tagues explains subsystems of the body. Here are a few questions he answers:1. What are sub systems?A system of muscles that are used during gate- Posterior Oblique (POS)- Anterior Oblique (AOS)- Lateral (LS)- Deep Longitudinal (DLS)- The Inner Core (ICS)2. How do they work?Work during the different phases of gate3. How do you train them?1. Posterior Lunges2. 1 arm push or pull in a lunge3. Breathing
