Mindful Eating — Studies Show This Concept Can Help Clients Lose Weight and Better Manage Chronic Disease
By Cheryl Harris, MPH, RD

Vol. 15 No. 3 P. 42
Linda sat at a table with a piece of rich, dark chocolate in front of her. After breathing in its sweet aroma, she took a small bite and let the chocolate slowly dissolve in her mouth. Her taste buds savored the mixture of creaminess and sweetness. “Wow, that’s the best piece of chocolate I’ve ever eaten!” Linda said to her dietitian.
What’s interesting is that this exchange was part of a nutrition counseling session that focused on mindfulness, the concept of being present in the moment, and mindful eating, being aware of all facets of the eating process. Mindfulness continues to gain widespread support to promote health and wellness, and mindful eating is being used as a tool to improve eating behaviors, encourage weight control, prevent chronic disease, and foster a healthful relationship with food.

Reclaim Your DNA and Beat Disease
When scientists launched the Human Genome Project back in 1990, they hoped, among other things, to crack the mystery behind the genetic origins of disease.
And, they succeeded… sort of.
As it turns out, the more we learn about how genes influence our health, the less we really know. And for all the testing and risk assessment that practically defines modern medicine, we still can’t say for certain who will get sick and who won’t.
That’s because heredity rarely carves a straight path to any disease—or necessarily any path at all. And now, as it turns out, family history is just one piece of the puzzle.

Why Fermented Foods and Gut Bacteria
Matter to Our Health
Belly up. It’s time for a discussion on two important health topics that just so happen to be incredibly unsexy: Gut bacteria and fermented foods. Yep, here we go
These two terms often conjure up images of grotesque stomachs and intestines and the most detestable foods you can imagine. But if you can get past the questionable terminology, fermented foods and healthy gut bacteria are extremely important to our health.
According to a recent article from NPR, a new study has found that diet can promote beneficial bacteria in the stomachs of older people, and as a result, promote healthy aging.
