Mindful Eating and Enjoyment of Food

In a society with an abundance of food options, individuals are prone to overeating. It is important not to demonize any specific food but rather make mindful choices. To avoid overeating, one can opt for a smaller portion of the real desired dessert rather than a larger portion of a supposedly healthier alternative. Mindful eating involves savoring the food, eating slowly, and focusing on the pleasure of eating. Chewing food thoroughly and paying attention to when you've had enough can help prevent overeating. Splitting dessert can also be an effective strategy to control portion sizes.
