Have you ever engaged in the practice of mindful eating?
So many times, we sit down to eat while watching TV or scrolling through our feed. How many times do we scarf down a meal to rush back to work, or move on to another part of our day?
Today we bring you a few benefits of eating mindfully.
The first is that you enjoy your food more. When you focus in, you’ll find food has so much more to offer than sustenance. In addition to the taste, there’s the texture and the experience. From the way it feels as you eat it to the amount of care that went into preparing it, you’ll find there are tons of things to enjoy during every meal.
The second benefit is that you’re more likely to feel full. Eating while focusing on the task generally results in you eating slower — this means by the time you finish the meal, you’re already beginning to digest the early portions, which reduces the chance you’ll overeat.
The final perk of mindful eating is that when you take time to enjoy your food, you’re more likely to think carefully about what you’re eating. This can lead to you adopting a healthier diet, which provides various perks from immune system benefits to higher energy levels.
