Eating with awareness

"If we eat wrongly, no doctor can cure us;
If we eat rightly, no doctor is needed."

--- Victor G. Rocine

Good
eating habits are a strong foundation to good health. It's important to
eat what you like and also to experiment with a variety of new foods.

You
also need to set aside enough time to sit down and enjoy your meal.
Don't get into the trap of eating in front of the open refrigerator,
rushing down the street or driving the car.

Eating slowly will
allow your body's natural enzymatic mechanism to tell you when you have
had enough. When you eat with awareness, you enjoy food more fully.

You notice how food affects you and you are less likely to overeat.

Eating
with awareness also means eating whole, pure, natural foods. Without
the proper balance of a variety of nutrient-rich foods on a continuing
basis, good health cannot be achieved and maintained.

Remember,
if you neglect your health through poor eating habits, it spills over
into every aspect of your life. Eating with awareness will make you
aware of other aspects of your inner life, including your emotional and
spiritual side.
