You might be consuming gloriously healthy and nutrient packed food but how do you engage with it? Is it consumed without thought, unappreciated, gobbled up in a hurry and over in a blur?

Developing a practical and simple routine for meal times is a powerful way to deepen your relationship with the nutrients in your food. It’s also a fabulous tool to avoid over consumption and those common symptoms of mindless eating, such as;

• Excessive wind;
• Burping and;
• Bloating

I eat well but often mindlessly inhale my food in front of a computer and forget to chew properly. When I take on these 5 simple meal hygiene rules I eat less, or more accurately I eat what my body requires. I enjoy my food more and the belly does not bloat, gurgle or heaven forbid pass gas. Try them for yourself and get the most out of the foods you have carefully selected.
