So if this is something that happens more often than intended, it may prompt the thought of food addiction. Well, food addiction is not a fault of yours as it is caused by a physiological process. This causes one to experience withdrawal syndrome, especially with foods containing sugar. Overeating is not a well thought out plan that one aims to execute, it’s an unconscious act and behaviour that one realises only after the food has been finished. Now to curb this unconscious behavioural pattern, being mindful will suffice to help you restructure your pattern to eating sizable portions of food and this is called mindful eating. Mindful Eating Mindful eating is being in charge and observing your reactions with utmost attention to when your body says it’s hungry and also when it tells you it’s full. This way overeating is curbed. Helen Burton Murray, a psychologist and director of the Gastrointestinal Behavioural Health Program at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital throws some questions that are helpful at this point “Think about how the food looks, how it tastes and smells. What’s the texture? What memories does it bring up? How does it make you feel?” Being in charge and mindful at meals, will limit the way you eat rather than just munching without reason. Other mindful eating tips include the following: Note Down Your Consumption: in doing this you take tabs of what triggered your senses during that day. Exercise: this type of workout routine is muscle relaxation. It will tighten and loosen one primary muscle group one after another in 20 seconds. Observe the contraction as the muscle relaxes. Walks: taking at least 5 minutes walks are great and observing every single detail of the environment. Conscious Breathing: breathing might seem like it’s not a problem because it is innate to every human, but the conscious effort of breathing in and out according to Burton Murray, will engage the entire diaphragm thus encouraging relaxation.
