What is Mindful Eating?<\/p>\n

Mindful eating is an approach to food that focuses on being fully present while you are eating.<\/p>\n

It also increases awareness of your thoughts, senses and feelings during and after you eat. It means:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Allowing yourself to become aware of the food selection and preparation.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Using all your senses to choose to eat food that is both satisfying to you and nourishing to your body.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Acknowledging responses to food without judgement (likes, dislikes).<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Becoming aware of physical hunger, and satiety cues to guide your decisions and eating<\/p>\n

Why be more mindful when eating?<\/p>\n

Mindful Eating opens up an opportunity to appreciate food more and make a better connection with it.<\/p>\n

Some studies suggest that mindful eating can help support emotional eating and binge eating, promoting a healthier relationship with food.<\/p>\n

Eating mindfully may also help regulate appetite, aid in digestion and make eating an enjoyable and pleasurable experience.<\/p>\n

Mindful eating is not about restricting yourself, it is about enjoying and appreciating food.<\/p>\n

Although some people may find that eating more mindfully leads to weight loss, doing so with the expectation or intention to lose weight can be self-defeating.<\/p>\n

Food is there to nourish your body and soul. It provides us with wholesome nutrition to facilitate optimal functioning of our body.<\/p>\n

When you eat better, be mindful and aware it makes you feel better not only physically but also psychologically.<\/p>\n

Here are a few ways we end up eating without being aware, also known as \u201cMindless Eating\u201d.<\/p>\n\t\n \n
