Mindful Eating: How to Develop a Healthy Relationship with Food 

In a world of fad diets and conflicting nutrition advice, it's easy to lose touch with our bodies' natural hunger and fullness cues. Mindful eating can help you reconnect with your body and develop a healthier relationship with food. Here's how to get started: 

Eat without distractions 

Turn off the TV and put away your phone during meals. 

Chew slowly and savor each bite 

 Pay attention to the flavors, textures, and aromas of your food. 

Reflect and plan

Journal about the past week and set intentions for the upcoming one.

Listen to your body 

Eat when you're hungry and stop when you're satisfied, not overly full. 

Practice gratitude 

Take a moment to appreciate where your food came from and how it nourishes you. 

Don't label foods as "good" or "bad" 

All foods can fit into a balanced diet in moderation. 

It's important to start with one mindful meal a day and gradually increase. It takes practice, so be patient with yourself as you develop this new habit.
