It’s hard to believe that so much time has passed since the coronavirus has changed our lives. During this challenging time, many people spend more time at home, less active, stressed and bored, with easy access to food at home. This lowers the immune system and decreases overall health.
“be grateful for everything, because food is as important as air, and we all are what we eat and breath “
Additionally, all these factors lead to comfort eating, snacking between meals and late in the evening. As a result, people gain weight and feel awful.
HOW TO START PRACTICING MINDFUL EATING
” All you need is to be in the moment “
To avoid this terrible situation I want you to pay attention to such a beautiful instrument as mindful nutrition. Besides you can find a lot about mindfulness on my Lilka Sky Instagram page.
To tell you the truth, this is easier than it can seem. All you need is to be at the moment. So, first of all, plan your meals, look for healthy choices. Try to cook from scratch when it’s possible, don’t think it’s too hard. This is a magnificent moment of creation, fulfil it with happiness and keep on doing. Begin with little, you can also reach my food blog @etnocook for different step-by-step photo recipes of the ethnic traditional Ukrainian cuisine.
” Every detail matters, where you are, the tablecloth, plates, music, the window view. And how your dish looks is very important, use food of all colours and textures. “
WATCH WHAT YOU EAT
Please remember, the mindfulness of eating means to eat when you’re physically hungry, slowly, admit ingredients and flavour, calmly acknowledge the taste, intentionally chewing and enjoying every bite. The important rule is to do one thing at a time. Don’t reach a book, digital devices, turn off the TV, audiobooks and podcasts. Avoid snacking in transport and on go – always find a special place for eating, at home serve the table, make a nice ritual and feel the process.
” that if you control your eating habits, you’ll have more control in your life”
MINDFUL NUTRITION: EVERY DETAIL MATTERS
Every detail matters, where you are, the tablecloth, plates, music, the window view. And how your dish looks is very important, use food of all colours and textures. Clean the room or choose the best bench in the park. Size of the portion has to be small but enough, stop eating when the body gives signals it’s full. Lika Sky approves that small plates in dark colours and thin tall glasses can visually help you with this task.
WHAT TO EAT IF YOU WANT TO EAT MINDFULLY
I want to underline that the food must be healthy and ecological, mostly wholegrain and plant-based. This is similar to the ethnic Ukrainian diet when our ancestors ate dishes full of fruits and vegetables full of vitamins, seeds, nuts and nutritional whole grain delicious dishes, gently stewed or roasted.
“do one thing at a time. Don’t reach a book, digital devices, turn off the TV, audiobooks and podcasts. Avoid snacking in transport”
Keep a balance in macronutrients and micronutrients, and what is very important – drink a lot of clear water.
POSITIVE VIBES AND HEALTHY NUTRITION
By the way, be very careful with whom you eat and share only good emotions. Develop awareness of your surrounding and also practice mindful eating alone – it’s a great opportunity to know yourself better.
” you will definitely see the difference, sooner or later “
My dear friends, be grateful for everything, because food is as important as air, and we all are what we eat and breath.
I promise you will definitely see the difference, sooner or later. Be kind to yourselves and believe in progress. May the mindful nutrition to make your life better, maintain overall health, well-being, and in this case where everything depends on you.
” Eat healthy and mindful – it’s good for your body and soul”
An additional benefit is that if you control your eating habits, you’ll have more control in your life. As a dietitian and nutritionist, I can assure you that it’s the most powerful instrument to fight eating disorders and food-related behaviours.
In my next post, I’ll tell you how Japanese people successfully practice mindful eating for ages.
