Mindful eating

Mindful eating can help you to appreciate your food more, or to keep you from overeating as you notice your food more fully and recognize when you are full. When you don’t notice your food it is harder to enjoy your food. Next time you eat take time to really look at your food, noticing all the colors and variety, take a deep breath to smell the delicious scents. When you take a bite let it sit on your tongue to notice the textures, flavors, noticing the textures and sounds as you chew. Take time to pause between bites to notice how you are feeling, and again observing your food.
