AHS17

Experts agree that what we eat greatly affects our health. But what about how we eat? and who we are when we are eating? Do we think about our food while we eat it, or, too often, do we eat while we drive, type on a keyboard, read a book, watch TV, or check a social media? Based on research from the WIN the Rockies project, eating while doing something else increases the chances of a person gaining excess weight, but regardless of how much we weigh, this distracted or mindless eating is an unhealthy habit. We can be eating the healthiest food in the planet but if we are not mindful about it, we are missing 50% benefit. Mindful eating is a huge part of having a healthy lifestyle.
