Philippines discusses well-being concept to Snack Right
Mondelez Philippines shares the concept of “mindful snacking.”
This concept aims to help everyone have a more enjoyable snacking experience
and a more positive relationship with food. Pictured here is Anna Sapitan,
Mondelez Philippines spokesperson on Mindful Snacking.
Mindful snacking is just that,
snacking the right way. As Mondelez Philippines spokesperson Anna Sapitan
shared, “Snacking mindfully is an approach that encourages you to eat with
attention and to be present in the moment. As moms, it’s quite hard to do
anything with attention. Mindful snacking tells us it’s actually important to
be in the moment, even when we snack.” Anna is the Category Manager for Meals
Brands of Mondelez Philippines, and is also a mom to four.
Anna shared insights on how mindful
snacking can help moms. “To snack mindfully, first ask yourself “Why am I
eating?” Did you know, people actually snack for different reasons. Our research
and experts say that there are three snacking needs: Boost, Fuel and Treat.
Boost to jump start your day. Fuel to provide energy. Or simply just as a Treat
for yourself. Mindful snacking can help you understand why you are eating, and
based on this, what to eat for a more satisfying snacking experience.Are you
looking for something sweet or savory, creamy or crunchy, hot or cold, or soft
or crispy? By understanding why you are eating, you can better choose the right
snack for what you need.”
Mindfulness helps you shift out of
autopilot eating and respond instead of reacting to, your hunger. When you're
mindful of choices, you don't have to completely cut out the foods you love.
Just learn to eat them in a more mindful way. Because when you cut out your
favorite foods, you tend to want them even more. Mindful snacking can lead to
a more positive relationship with food, more satisfying snacking moments, and being
less likely to overeat.
These
insights were gathered from the Company’s global research as well as by
commissioning Dr. Susan Albers, Psy.D., as a consultant on mindful snacking.
She is a clinical psychologist, mindful eating expert, and a New York Times
best-selling author of seven books on mindful eating.
Anna
also shared insights on how moms can snack mindfully:
·
Portion out your
snack and put the rest away; or choose single, pre-wrapped servings of snack
foods.
·
Minimize distractions
(phone, tv, computer)
·
Smell and taste each
bite fully
·
Chew slowly and give
each bite your full attention
·
Notice the texture
·
Finish your bite
before you take the next
