Introduction to Mindful Eating

Mindfulness is awareness of the present moment without judgement. When we apply mindfulness to eating it helps us to slow down and appreciate our food.

Catherine Russo Epstein explains the benefits of mindful eating and how to get started.

What is Mindful Eating?

Recent Research Shows that Eating Lots of Fibre Decreases All-Cause Mortality

Some of the Benefits they Found Included Lower Body Weight

“Clinical trials show significantly lower bodyweight, systolic blood pressure, and total cholesterol when comparing higher with lower intakes of dietary fibre.“
