relationship with food over the past century has changed.In Europe, people are no longer hungry, on the contrary, the problem has become a constant overeating.This is understandable, because the products are available, and the culture of entertainment is in many at a very low level.Traditions power that existed among the religious of the Russian people, is now completely destroyed and replaced by the cult of food.The fact that the food must be balanced, correct and clean, they know everything.But that does not always have to have to complete saturation, many do not even know.
That is why excess weight - the bane of many Russians and Europeans.The fight with him - it's not just a job for the sake of a good figure.Obesity makes it more likely to diseases such as diabetes, arthritis, cholecystitis.Man is hard to walk a lot and move actively.To combat used special diets and eating patterns.But for many it is work and deprivation of pleasure, and they are turning for help to the church to see the prayer for weight loss.Of course, well, when a person resorts to God with all his problems, but in this case the church can not help.Such prayers there.But Orthodoxy may help to look at the problem is much broader.Because obesity is often overtakes those who wrongly relates to food, shows gluttony.That is the prayer for weight loss - a prayer against this sin.
If people come to the temple with a desire to get rid of gluttony, the Orthodox Church has to offer to help him.This is one of the deadly sins, so prayers for weight loss in the form of a prayer against gluttony is very common.
In the Orthodox tradition there are four post: Great Christmas, Petrov and Assumption.Dietary restrictions during these periods is very important.The faithful ask God to help them overcome their detrimental tendencies and desires, their passions.For example, the Prayer of Saint Ephrem - it's almost a prayer for weight loss Orthodox, and pronounce it several times each day of fasting.According to the charter during a short prayer is 4 prostrations (to kneel down, bow down to the floor) and 12 of the belt, where it should touch the floor only outstretched arm.
course, religious people do not take prayer work of Lent as a prayer for weight loss.But if you approach it from a physiological and psychological point of view, they are exactly those are.
Many psychologists have investigated the problem of excess weight, high value food in the value system of modern Europeans.And the desire to lose weight is in itself a special place.It is necessary to completely stop thinking about food: calorie, taste, merits and demerits of dishes.If the interest in food will be replaced by some more important interests, such as spiritual values, religious life, then the person will not notice how lose weight.
Many use what is called for yourself "mantra for weight loss."Reviews of the results depends on the overall mood of a person.If he is willing to radically revise its system of values, usually weight gradually goes away and never return.And if you own food and fun are still in first place, the struggle for harmony can last a lifetime, but never be won.
