Five Mindful Eating Habits You Can Start Today

Mindful eating gets dismissed as a wellness buzzword, but the underlying behaviours have real, measurable effects on portion control and digestion.

Habits worth building

• Put your phone away for the first five minutes of a meal
• Serve food on a plate instead of eating from the packet
• Pause halfway through the meal and check actual hunger
• Chew each bite a little longer than feels natural at first
• Notice fullness cues before the plate is empty, not after
