Nutrition: Mindful vs Mindless Eating

Episode Overview:

TODAY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT MINDLESS EATING VERSUS MINDFUL EATING. KNOWING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO WILL HELP YOU BECOME A HEALTHIER, HAPPIER AND MORE FIT PERSON. WE WILL ALSO TAKE A LOOK AT SOME SNACK OPTIONS AND HELP YOU CHOOSE THE HEALTHIEST ONE TO GET YOU THROUGH THE DAY.

Partha’s RX:

1. FOCUS ON WHAT YOU’RE EATING, BUY ORGANIC AND WHOLE, FRESH FOODS.

2. TAKE THE TIME TO TASTE YOUR FOOD. EAT SLOWLY, TAKE SMALL BITES AND CHEW WELL.

3. REALIZE IF YOU ARE EATING FOR A PHYSICAL CRAVING OR AN EMOTIONAL CRAVING. IS YOUR STOMACH GROWLING, DO YOU HAVE A HEADACHE, DIFFICULTY CONCENTRATING? THOSE ARE A FEW PHYSICAL SIGNS OF HUNGER.

4. THINK BEFORE YOU EAT. MAKE A CONSCIOUS DECISION WHETHER OR NOT YOU REALLY WANT FOOD.
