Eat mindfully
You may find yourself eating too much quickly if you are not careful. This can lead to indigestion, bloating, and gas. Mindful eating involves paying close attention to the foods you eat and the processes involved in eating. Studies show that mindfulness also helps reduce digestive symptoms in people who have inflammatory bowel disease and ulcerative colitis [6].
Follow these tips to eat mindfully:
- Eat slowly.
- Turn off any distractions and focus solely on your food.
- Notice how your food looks on your plate and how it smells.
- Pay attention to the temperature, taste and texture of your food.
- Choose each bite of food consciously.
