You are how you eat <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We’ve all heard the phrase you are what you eat<\/em>, but have you ever thought about how<\/em> you eat is just as important? The concept of mindful eating comes from the Buddhist teachings of mindfulness, where a person attempts to notice thoughts, feelings, and sensations through quiet reflection and meditation. While mindful eating doesn’t promise enlightenment, it can impact your health by reducing binge eating and helping you lose weight. Before your next meal, take a moment and give one of these tips a try, to help you achieve a healthier you (and maybe a little enlightenment).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep chewing<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Chew 25 times before swallowing to feel fuller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Switch hands<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Use your non-dominant hand to make your brain work harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put the fork down and\nbreathe<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy the moments between bites as much as when you are eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a healthy eating environment<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Keep temptation out of\nreach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smaller plates and bowls<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Less space = less food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No screens while you eat<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A distracted brain is an\novereating brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discover your palette <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Name the flavors you’re enjoying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Appreciate food<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The more you understand\nfood, the more you’ll savor it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Switch to rest and digest mode<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Take three full breaths\nbefore taking your first bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give it 15 minutes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Before reaching for\nseconds, give your brain time to catch up with your stomach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1299,"template":"","class_list":["post-1297","well_said","type-well_said","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nHappy Healthy November 2019 - The Blueprint Blog - Blue KC<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Happy Healthy November 2019 - The Blueprint Blog - Blue KC\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"You are how you eat We’ve all heard the phrase you are what you eat, but have you ever thought about how you eat is just as important?
