Mindfulness is helping us having a sense of mastery over our own thoughts and feelings. That’s how it could help us protect against diabetes. Researchers wanted to find out if people practicing higher degrees of mindfulness are better able to motivate themselves to exercise, resist cravings for high-fat and sugary foods, and to stick with diet regimens recommended by their doctors. They found that participants who were the most mindful were 35 percent more likely to have healthy glucose levels. Their study, just published in the American Journal of Health Behavior, suggests that mindfulness can help increase the sense of control needed to fight obesity and boost our health.
