Weight stigma is a global problem that can have negative impacts on emotional and physical health. Research is underway to find solutions to combat weight bias. Weight management is not just about eating less and moving more - it's about being in the right frame of mind. Studies have shown that mindfulness practices offer positive aspects for overall health and wellness and also lower levels of depression, social anxiety, and psychological distress.
