Put Down The Fork

In November comes Thanksgiving. Millions of Americans will eat, drink and be merry. It’s a wonderful holiday filled with family and fun for everyone.

Not soon after, it will be filled with regret at having eating so much we feel like were going to burst open at the seams!

Here’s a quick tip to help you before that happens: Whenever food is in your mouth, dont have food in your hands. Chew, swallow, and then load up the fork with another mouthful.

Its a simple thing to do. When you do it, youll find that youre more aware of every bite of food. It will slow down your rate of eating too which is better for your digestion.

Frequently, we race through bite after bite, loading up the fork with food and shoveling in our mouths before weve even had a chance to swallow. This kind of mindless is much less satisfying than actually giving thanks for the food that were taking into our bodies and appreciating each bite.

So this Thanksgiving, eat slowly, enjoy it, and put down the fork between every bite. You’ll thank me for it tomorrow :-)

All my best for a happy Thanksgiving with those you love.

Joshua Seth, CHt
