Wholesomeness in food can be achieved easily by choosing from all food groups in the right quantity, choosing different colors, seasonal food and that too fresh.
Mindful Eating: Mindful eating involves paying attention to the eating experience and being fully present during meals. This includes taking time to savor the flavors, textures, and aromas of food, eating in a relaxed environment, and listening to hunger and fullness cues. By practicing mindful eating, individuals can develop healthier relationships with food as well as his body and enhance their overall enjoyment of meals.
Joyful Eating: Eating should not be a strict prescription but rather a flexible framework that can be easily adapted as per individual needs and cultural preferences. Eat guilt free as per season and during festivals. Sometimes reward yourself by indulging yourself in your favorite food. Eat like you love yourself and your food.
