In this crazy, modern world, we have a tendency to hyper-focus on what is easily measured, at the expense of everything else. We track calories and macronutrients and jump from one fad diet to another but pay very little attention to how we eat.
The effects of eating mindfully are beginning to become apparent in bits and pieces, but because the effect is more holistic, it’s hard to measure and pinpoint exactly what is merely correlation and what is causation. That said, we do know that chewing food thoroughly and eating while calm can aid digestion.
