Conscious Eating - Are you Eating Food the Right Way?

Are you eating the right way?








Eating is one of the most common activities of Humans and yet it is given least attention. Humans would not survive for very long if they did not Eat!. But what many people do not realise is that eating habits (the state of mind while eating) is as important as what exactly is eaten.
 With the fast pace lifestyle of present day, it is extremely important that the time you spend while eating is given certain importance.


Here are some of the points to be considered while you are eating :

1) What is the state of your mind when you sit to eat your food?
     Note that the food you eat will be digested properly when you are "Feeling Good" while you are eating. Good Digestion means, no digestion related disorders!!

2) Are you eating in a hurry?
     Next time you eat your food, make sure you are "Consciously Aware" of touching the food, chewing and swallowing it. Never eat in a hurry, give some time for chewing, feeling the taste and then swallowing.

3) Are you feeling the "Gratitude" for the food that provides energy for your daily activities?
     How many of you have ever said words like "Thank you", "I love you", "You are so tasty", "You are so fresh", to the food you eat? Try this next time and experience the new feeling.

Eat Consciously and Live Better.
