“Mindfulness is a learned skill that is linked to improvements in overall health. According to recent research on mindful eating in a 2009 article in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, mindfulness goes beyond typical weight management techniques of food logging, meal planning and portion control to a physical and emotional awareness of how you feel while eating or in a food-related environment.” -- Victoria Shanta Retelny
