In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, mindful eating often takes a back seat, which can lead to many health problems. In addition to buying quality ingredients, it is also crucial to pay attention to the process of eating and the time spent on it. Kifli.hu expert, dietitian Vivien Enyingi, highlights how the products of the online supermarket can help you apply “mindful eating” in your everyday life.

Mindful eating is not simply about what you eat, but also about how you eat. The essence of mindful eating is to focus our full attention on the process of eating: the taste, smell, and texture of food while paying attention to the signals of our body. It helps you recognize hunger and fullness, avoid overeating, and make more conscious decisions about the quality and origin of food. This not only supports maintaining a healthy weight, but also improves the experience of eating and your overall well-being.

Dietitian Vivien Enyingi’s tips for starting mindful eating

According to the Kifli.hu expert, the first step is to slow down: “Chew thoroughly, take your time, and try what it feels like to truly experience the moment while eating. Remember, mindfulness begins with small steps!”

5 surprising facts about mindful eating:

Consciously experiencing flavors, smells, and textures improves the experience of eating: instead of eating in a hurry, pay attention to the taste, texture, and smell of the food. This not only makes eating more enjoyable, but it also makes it easier to recognize our feeling of fullness.

Our emotions influence what and how we eat: many people resort to emotional eating due to stress or boredom. Mindful eating helps us recognize these patterns and develop healthier coping strategies instead.

The environment of the meal and the exclusion of distractions are also key: turn off the television, put the phone aside, create a calm eating environment that allows for full focus.

Conscious eating supports the maintenance of a healthy weight: if we pay more attention to our body’s signals, we can more easily avoid overeating, which helps us achieve and maintain a healthy weight in the long run.
It is important to transform the negative perception of nutrients: perhaps the most well-known negative perception of certain foods is that they make you fat. It is worth replacing similar prejudices with awareness and self-control.

“The very first step in changing our perspective is to learn that not everything is black and white. So if we happen to eat a muesli bar with a higher sugar content, instead of feeling guilty, we should supplement it with other more nutritious delicacies. For example, add natural seeds, so that our snack already has better nutritional value.”
