Key Takeaways:

• Mindful eating involves paying full attention to the experience of eating by eliminating distractions, eating slowly and engaging the senses, which helps improve digestion and prevent overeating.

• Using a hunger-fullness scale (1-10) can help regulate eating habits by starting meals at moderate hunger (3-4) and stopping at comfortable fullness (6-7), reducing binge eating and stress-related eating.

• Practicing mindful eating consistently fosters a healthier relationship with food and enhances overall well-being.
