Eating slowly, and paying attention to our eating, can be a great form of mindfulness exercise. Be in the moment, rather than rushing through a meal thinking about what you need to do next. When you eat, you should eat. This kind of mindfulness, will lead to a less stressful life, better digestion, long-term happiness.
When you gulp down your food, you don’t realise you’re eating so much. But chewing for longer makes you more likely to notice the taste, smell and texture, which makes you more aware of what you’re eating and how much.
As a result, you’re less likely to feel hungry again ten minutes later.
