How to eat mindfully

What is mindfulness?

Mindfulness is the practise of present moment awareness. In recent years, meditation experts such as Jon Kabat-Zinn, and Andy Puddicombe of Headspace, have helped the world see that this is not just a spiritual practice, it is grounded in science and is relevant and helpful to many of us.

Practising mindful eating simply means being present when we eat – paying attention to it and being aware of it. As a mindfulness teacher and registered nutritionist, this is my favourite way to empower clients. It’s an easy method to learn, it helps us eat well and is simple to practise as we already eat several times a day. It involves tuning in and enjoying.
