If mindless eating, eating with the TV, eating when travelling or working is your nemesis you might be interested to try this mindful eating exercise. Not least because it involves chocolate!! Regular mindfulness practice has been shown to be beneficial in gut health and as little as 10 minutes each day has been shown to have benefits for physical and mental health.
Join me and Suné Markowitz-Shulman as we demonstrate a mindful eating exercise. Being mindful is about being aware of the present, what is happening now, rather than worrying about what has gone on in the past or what could happen in the future. Mindfulness helps you change the way you think and importantly how you respond to situations, with the benefit of becoming calmer and kinder to yourself.
Pay attention and notice any emotions that are provoked in anticipation of eating. Experience the sensations of sight, smell, touch, sound and finally taste your food and a whole new world of food could emerge. Eating slowly, chewing well and appreciating the smell and flavour of each mouthful, will improve your eating experience, your digestion and can be a great way to alleviate stress
