"Mindful Eating"

As a part of my job I get these links to health-related articles almost everyday. This particular article caught my eye and I thought I'd share it with you.

It talks about the practice of "mindful eating" which is basically taking your time to really enjoy and savor your food slowly instead of shoveling it all in.

I still slip back into the habit of eating quickly sometimes. My pouch is quick to tell me to slow down....but still, to eat slowly I really have to pay attention and be very aware of everything that I'm doing...

Anyhow, here is the article for your reading pleasure:

Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."
- George S. Patton, U.S. Army General, 1912 Olympian

Thanks for sharing. I am struggling with the practice of eating slow in anticipation of surgery and this is helpful. I am going to explore some of the other links as well.
