Set and eat
While eating, one should stay away from habits like screens or work and eat while sitting on the floor or on a chair. Doing this helps you focus completely on eating, allowing you to understand your body’s signals of hunger and satiety. Not only this, it also promotes better digestion and absorption of nutrients.
Eat Slowly
To taste the food well, eat it slowly, chew each piece slowly and thoroughly. Eating food slowly improves digestion, as it helps the enzymes in your saliva break down food more effectively. By doing this it becomes easier for you to know when your stomach is full and you avoid overeating.
Eat With Savor
Always eat food with your hands and pay attention to the color, smell, taste and texture of the food. By doing this you will enjoy eating your food more and it also has a positive effect on your health.
Simplify Eating
Choose whole, less processed foods and make healthy foods a part of your diet. Simplifying your diet makes it easier to focus on the natural flavor and nutritional benefits of foods. This can lead to a more balanced diet and improved overall health.
By incorporating these 5 S’s into your eating habits, you can develop a good relationship with food and this will have a positive impact on your health.
