3 MINDFUL EATING TIPS
To Enjoy Seasonal, Holiday Treats
Savor the Season
Take time to enjoy your favorite holiday treats. Some ways to practice mindful eating include:
Pause before eating: Ask yourself WHY do I want to eat this?
Slow down: Take smaller bites, chew slow, and taste the flavors.
Be present: Focus on the experience, not just the food.
Balanced Indulgence
Pairing treats with a balanced meal can keep your energy steady.
Combine treats with meals: Have your seasonal or holiday treats with lunch or dinner, instead of eating it on an empty stomach.
Add more nutrients: Meals with protein and fiber help keep you fuller for longer, balancing out the treat.
