Being mindful of the foods you eat is one of the best ways to ensure that you are nourishing your body and soul. Mindful eating entails being fully present in the moment when consuming food and taking time to be aware of what we’re putting into our bodies.

We can stop for a second before grabbing whatever is closest when reaching into a bag or fridge; rather take an extra couple minutes to ponder if this particular item will serve our bodily needs optimally right now. By doing so we can prevent binging habits because it gives us enough time really listen to how much we need at that very moment allowing our conscious awareness (mindfulness) guide reasonable portion sizes depending on what’s needed for optimal health and wellbeing at that given point in time .
