5 Tips For Mindful Eating
Mindfulness is a state of mind that helps you focus on the present without being judgmental. You do not necessarily have to cut down on your food intake to lose those pounds as you can adjust your mindset by training your mind to be consciously aware of every bite that you take. Often we are not aware of what we munch and nibble on throughout the day casually in office, or while dropping your child to school. Your body continuously gives you cues as to when you are hungry and you need to decode your bodyâs feedback accurately so that you do not misinterpret them and indulge in impulsive eating. Just like a good nightâs sleep is important for your child similarly eating mindfully can help you take care of your health.
Eating for a Healthful Old Age
At any age, a good and varied diet is a prerequisite for health. As people become older they may be less active and need fewer calories but their basic vitamin, mineral and protein requirements do not diminish with age.
We are what we eat
âWe are what we eatâ is a phrase that my dad kept on repeating to me since I was a kid. Iâve always understood it as an advice to eat healthy food in order to ensure a long life free of diseases. Thatâs why Iâve always thought that eating mindfully was just about taking care of the food I feed myself with.
