Tips for Mindful Eating
Mindful eating encourages us to make choices that are satisfying and nourishing to the body. It involves allocating time to eat and only eat, without distractions like cell phones. Engaging our senses and noticing the taste, smell, and texture of our food can also help us eat at a healthy pace. Taking smaller portions, chewing thoroughly, and pausing between each bite can aid digestion. Mindful eating also involves appreciating the food, acknowledging the effort that went into preparing it, and being aware of any emotional aspects related to eating.
