The Art of Mindful Eating
We live in a world of distraction. We eat at our desks, in our cars, and in front of screens. Mindful
eating is the simple practice of bringing your full attention to the experience of eating.
🧘♂️
Savor the Flavor
Put your fork down between bites. Notice the texture, temperature, and complex spices in your
food. Digestion starts in the mind.
📵
Screen-Free Meals
Turn off the TV and put away your phone. When you eat without distraction, your brain can
accurately process satiety signals.
🍵
The Pre-Meal Ritual
Take three deep breaths before your first bite. This switches your nervous system from "Fight
or Flight" to "Rest and Digest".

2. Blue Spirulina 🌊
Packed with phycocyanin, this nutrient-dense algae is a legendary antioxidant that protects cells
from digital-age oxidative stress.

Lion's Mane for focus and Reishi for calm. Incorporating these into your morning coffee or evening
tea helps the body adapt to daily stressors.
