Eat with Awareness

Eat with Awareness

Eat with Awareness

In today’s world of a million distractions, many children or even adults are eating food while watching TV or playing on their computers. This habit can interfere with digestion, as the body is not primed to digest food when it is distracted. When the body is stressed, it diverts energy away from digestion and instead prepares to fight-or-flight.


Children and families should practice mindful eating around meal times. This habit will encourage the body to digest food that was consumed properly.
