Groceries With Cash
A recent study suggests that when we pay for our groceries in cash we pay attention to the health promoting characteristics of the food that we are ordering up to take home with us But the observation is that it doesn't induce health promotion as much as health demotion(less junk food)!
Is this a real perception of purchasing for health? Apparently there is more psychological pain when paying cash for things than with the credit card The study also found people were less likely to buy impulsive, unhealthy food products at weekends – possibly due to the fact they had taken the time to write a shopping list
I know this to be the case for myself If I have to haul the $$ out of my wallet, I'm much more apt to think twice about the need for the purchase, especially with a list or a good understanding of what I need
As we talked about earlier lifestyle eating behaviors are as important as the foods we consume according to the energy science nutritional formats and this interesting information is along the lines of lifestyle patterns of behavior that induce declining health
For example, the authors found that there is a possible link between rising obesity rates in the United States and changing modes of payment 34% of Americans are obese and in 2009 40% of U.S. grocery purchases were made using a credit or debit card
I would believe that the VPK paradigm has relevance Since the Kapha energy pattern is responsible for the overweight condition, it would make sense that the inertia generated by this aspect of our energy field when dominant would be associated with such an observation
Credit or debit cards are an aspect of convenience(light, sharp/penetrating, hot, mobile) but potentially an aspect of favoring heavy, slow/dullness, cold, static or stable
From a behavioral point of view it's painful for Kapha to separate from $$ due to the hoarding nature of the energy pattern when imbalanced There's nothing wrong with saving a buck but the pain that's delivered when we have to part with it becomes an imbalanced behavior
Until tomorrow To health as a Skill Love DrBill
