Mindful eating is a core principle of "The Wellness Way." It involves paying full attention to the experience of eating and enjoying food without distractions. Start by sitting down for meals without screens or other interruptions. Focus on the taste, texture, and aroma of your food.

Eat slowly and savor each bite. This can help you recognize your body's hunger and fullness cues, preventing overeating. Pay attention to how different foods make you feel, both physically and emotionally.

Practice gratitude for your food and the effort that went into preparing it. Mindful eating can improve digestion, promote healthier eating habits, and enhance your overall relationship with food.
