Ever wonder what “mindful eating” is all about? Recently Jeremy taught a seminar on mindful eating and the amazing science behind why this simple practice can be so good for our bodies and minds.

Some of the benefits include:

• Improved communication between your brain and stomach
• Improved release of digestive enzymes in both the mouth and small intestine
• Increased awareness of hunger and fullness
• Lowered risk of indigestion and heartburn – sometimes resolution of heartburn
• Improved hunger signalling hormones like leptin and ghrelin
• Lower overall portion sizes and intake
• Improved success with weight management

Additional benefits for our minds and emotions can include:

• Healthier relationship with food
• Rediscovering the joys of eating all types of foods
• Empowerment to eat food in a balanced, moderate way and enjoy all foods!
• Breaking the vicious cycle of dieting and food restriction
• Re-establishing an awareness of hunger and knowing the difference between true and “emotional” hunger
• Rediscovering the power to say “no” and re-establishing self-control with eating!
