Health Tip: Eat Mindfully to Help Shed Pounds
By LadyLively on June 21, 2016
Eating slowly can help you make healthier choices, limit portions and even lose weight.
The Harvard Medical School suggests:
- When you sit, set a timer for 20 minutes and use the full time to eat. Take small bites, and chew food thoroughly.
- Hold the fork in your non-dominant hand. For example, if you’re right-handed, eat with your left hand.
- For five minutes, eat silently while contemplating every step involved in growing and harvesting the food you’re eating.
- Before eating, ask yourself if you are truly hungry. If you aren’t, do something other than eat.
