Mindful eating, day 1: Savor the flavors

Welcome to your 21-day mindful eating challenge! Mindful eating stresses the importance of focusing on the present moment and being aware of your senses while consuming food.

TODAY'S CHALLENGE Think about each specific flavor you taste. Welcome to your 21-day mindful eating challenge! Mindful eating stresses the importance of focusing on the present moment and being aware of your senses while consuming food. It can help you manage your eating habits and feel better about your body. Here's how the challenge works: Each day, we'll send you an email with a specific challenge designed to coach you on an important aspect of mindful eating. To give you an idea of what it's like to do the challenge, we asked healthy foodie Alex Ashback to try it first. You'll find her experiences sprinkled throughout. Alex Ashback's feed is loaded with quick, healthy meal ideas — so.much.green.stuff — making her a great partner in any journey toward building better eating habits.   @VEGGININTHECITY › For today's challenge, we'll help you dissect the flavors that help create a food's overall taste. Here are a few questions to get you thinking: Which different flavors do you taste? Do they have a salty side to them? How about sweet? Does your food taste differently when you first taste it? Does it have an aftertaste? If so, what is it? Make a mental note of how you feel about each basic taste. Which ones do (or don't) you like?
