Slow Down

Meals should be enjoyed not shoveled in so quickly some items go down nearly whole. Give your digestive system a break and chew your food.

When we chow down food too fast our brain doesn’t have time to tell our stomach it is full.

Take time to relish each bite. Chew slowly and allow yourself time to enjoy the flavor, temperature, aroma, and texture.

Tips to help you slow down
-Set your fork down between each bite
-Sit at a table and turn your full attention to your food

-Shoot for at least 20 minutes of meal time
-Take a drink of water between each bite
-Count the number of chews (aim for 20)

What tips can you add to our list?
