Seven Habits of Mindful Eating

177,765 views

"The rhythm of life is becoming faster and faster, so we really don't have the same awareness and the same ability to check into ourselves." These words are from an unexpected source: a Harvard nutritionist. Dr. Lilian Cheung, with Nobel Peace Prize nominee Thich Nhat Hanh, co-wrote 'Savor: Mindful Eating, Mindful Life.' "That's why mindful eating is becoming more important. We need to be coming back to ourselves and saying: 'Does my body need this? Why am I eating this? Is it just because I'm so sad and stressed out?'" In this 3-minute video, Dr. Cheung explains how honoring and being mindful of the food we eat makes us healthier. She offers seven practices for mindful eating -- simple steps that we can take to maintain a healthier weight and live a happier life. We are what we eat -- and how we eat it.

Be The Change

To really think about what you are eating and take time to enjoy it. Step 7 was a new one for me because my husband is going through Chemo right now because of Colon cancer. I will give this a research.

All seven steps make sense if done in a peaceful setting away from devices and other distractions. No multitasking at mealtime could be number 8.
