Mindful eating is a practice that encourages individuals to be fully present and aware during their meals.
It involves paying attention to the taste, texture, and aroma of food, as well as recognizing hunger and fullness cues.
This approach can transform the way we eat and improve our overall wellbeing.
Mindful eating is about slowing down and savoring each bite. It means eating without distractions, such as watching TV or scrolling through your phone.
By focusing on the experience of eating, you can develop a deeper appreciation for your food and make healthier choices.
Are you interested in testing out mindful eating? Start small with one meal and work to eliminate distractions. Listen to your body and try to savor each bite.
