Research shows that the way we eat our meals can play an important role in our overall health. By elevating your awareness and being intentional, you can develop a sustainable and balanced approach to nutrition.
Here are some ways you can transform your meals into experiences that nourish your mind and body, setting you up for a lifetime of healthy eating.
- Our comprehensive guide to mindful eating features an array of resources and tips that will help you assess your current eating habits, choose the right foods, listen to your gut and slow down at meal time.
- The experience of eating doesn’t just involve taste – it encompasses the aroma of the food, the way it looks and the way it feels. Learn how to eat with your senses and make the most of every meal.
Ready to extend mindfulness beyond the main course? The Wellness Committee invites you to explore these resources on regrowing vegetables in the kitchen and repurposing food scraps for delightful meals, snacks and seasonings. Enjoy!
