We are SOOO FREAKING PROUD OF YOU!!! YOU'VE GOT THIS!!
Since we know GUT HEALTH has EVERYTHING to do with how we feel, our IMMUNITY, our MIND/BODY connection, and our GUT/HORMONE connection, let's talk some more tips to help us continue with our healthy habits:
Ever opened a bag of chips or pretzels and the next thing you knew it was empty? Almost as if you were in a trance? We've all been there!
As you might guess, mindful eating is NOT that. But it IS something we can get better at with simple practices. And the payoff is huge!
🍽️ Mindful eating can have a big impact on your gut health by promoting better digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall well-being.💚
What is mindful eating, exactly? It's simply a practice of bringing more awareness to your eating experience and the present moment. WITHOUT judging yourself, you pay closer attention to the tastes and textures of your food, sensations in your body, and your food-related thoughts, feelings, and choices.🧘♀️🍴
BENEFITS OF MINDFUL EATING
🌟Enhances Digestion: Thoroughly chewing your food helps digestive enzymes break it down better.
🌱 Prevents Overeating: When you tune into your body's hunger and fullness signals and eat slower, you’re less likely to overeat.
💪 Improves Nutrient Absorption: Get the most out of every bite! When you're more aware of your food's flavors, textures, and aromas, it helps your body absorb and assimilate all the nourishing goodness.
🍎 Encourages Better Choices: When you’re listening more to your body and being more present, you tend to make more conscious choices with food.
😌 Reduces Stress, Eases Digestion: We know stress impacts gut health. Mindful eating creates a relaxed state, reducing stress during meals. Your gut will feel less stressed!
I hope you'll try adding mindfulness to your eating habits––it can make a big difference in your gut well-being!
