Practicing Mindful Eating
March is Nutrition Month and this year’s theme is “Good for YOU! Dietitians Help You Find Your Healthy”. The focus is for dietitians to help you find your healthy as healthy eating looks different for everyone.
Therefore, there is no better time to chat about mindful eating! If you are new to the concept, we will explore what mindful eating is, tips for implementing mindfulness, and the benefits. In fact, Canada’s food guide suggests practicing mindful eating habits as an essential component to maintaining a balanced lifestyle since healthy eating is more than the foods you eat.

People choose milk alternatives for diverse reasons – allergies, intolerances, personal preferences, concerns regarding their environmental impact, or ethical reasons.
