As they say, if you love food, spend some time with it! The practice of Mindful eating helps us strive to eat more mindfully each time we sit down to eat. This helps us slow down and be present, and it also helps reduce stress for proper food digestion!

1- Notice your food; the shapes, colors, and textures, smell the aromas. Take it all in.

2- Slowly fill and lift your utensil, also noticing the weight of the fork/spoon as you lift your first small bite to your mouth.

3- Eat the first few bites slowly, being mindful to experience the tastes, smells, temperature, and textures of each bite. 4- Chew slowly, noticing the release of flavors and the sensations associated with eating.

5- Continue eating intentionally and deliberately, until you notice feeling satisfied, and then stop and reflect.
