But have you heard of food being the 6th love language before? It certainly can be for some people and families! Relationship and human behavior expert, Patrick Wanis, PhD says, “Food incorporates all the other five languages and all five senses. It's a very powerful way of creating a connection and expressing love.” And I totally agree! Food can bring people together, break down walls, and foster intimacy and communication. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6218fc37afe63a1334d8a064/1651687894694-E7ADM237DCZB61B28U5D/unsplash-image-rWWLpxSefp8.jpg Blog - Food = Love Language? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.jpnutritiontherapy.com/blog/whatismindfuleating monthly 0.5 2022-05-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6218fc37afe63a1334d8a064/1651683953277-EFSN4OKU50Z9R7U1TEN9/unsplash-image-e1pXAShSX0o.jpg Blog - What is Mindful Eating? - What is Mindful Eating? According to Harvard Health, mindful eating is “being fully attentive to your food — as you buy, prepare, serve, and consume it.” It’s easy to eat on autopilot or while multitasking. We all do it! That includes eating in front of any screen or while continuing to work. Many of us also eat to fill emotional voids, such as when we’re sad, stressed, or even happy and relieved about something. This isn’t always a bad thing to have food fill these voids, but we can still practice mindful eating in these situations. Mindful eating encompasses SO many subtopics, but a few mindful eating habits to start practicing are as follows: Eating when hungry, stopping when full Limiting the distractions around you while eating (phone away, turn off TV, put book down, close your work laptop) Thinking about the taste, textures, smells, and ingredients of your food as you eat Chew your food thoroughly Eating with gratitude for the food in front of you even if it’s not your favorite meal Benefits of mindful eating: Enhances enjoyment of meals Reduces overeating Aids in digestion of meals Reduces anxious thoughts around food Improves your psychological relationship with food https://www.jpnutritiontherapy.com/blog/covid-19-nutrition-tips monthly 0.5 2022-05-04 https://www.jpnutritiontherapy.com/blog/cross-country-running-nutrition monthly 0.5 2022-03-06 https://www.jpnutritiontherapy.com/home daily 1.0 2022-05-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6218fc37afe63a1334d8a064/77b04754-469b-4bf4-abd6-b6aba3065a3c/lars-bo-nielsen-zXn5qinCDKg-unsplash.jpg Home Nutrition counseling for adolescents and athletes to optimize growth and improve performance in sports and beyond. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6218fc37afe63a1334d8a064/7ff11b64-d69d-4338-bbf2-430cad377596/hannah-tasker-ZBkH8G4_yyE-unsplash.jpg Home Optimal nutrition starts when you're young.
