Study says yoga affects eating discipline

A new study shows yoga can affect your eating discipline.Researchers at the Seattle Hutchinson Center found yoga can help people be more mindful when they eat.That means knowing why you're eating, and stopping when you're full.A follow-up study from one done four years ago shows people who practice yoga gained less weight over a ten-year period and weighed less than those who didn't.The study says they became more mindful eaters -- either directly or indirectly through yoga.You can find the study in this month's issue of the "Journal of the American Dietetic Association".
