Today, it’s become common practice to eat in front of a screen. You eat while working on your computer, while browsing social media on your phone, and while watching your favorite shows. Unfortunately, this can be harmful in two ways:

• It can leave you feeling stuffed because you ate so fast that your brain didn’t have time to register how full you were until after the damage was done.

• It can leave you feeling dissatisfied because your mind was thinking about something else instead of enjoying the experience of eating the meal in front of you.

It’s important to get in the habit of eating without distractions as it can prevent overeating and will help make the experience of eating more satisfying.
