I think post aligns well with this weeks lesson on ultra-processed foods. Most times we grocery shop on autopilot, and we buy not so healthy options. We learned this week that even though the label says "Organic", it doesn't mean healthy. So lets try to be more mindful of reading labels. #beh353
Mindless eating happens when we eat on autopilot—like snacking in front of the TV. Mindful eating, on the other hand, helps us slow down, savor each bite, and make more intentional choices. Want to find balance between the two? Read more here: www.shelleyrael.com/blog/mindles...
