Lisa Jones, a clinical dietitian at Irwin Army Community Hospital, explains what happens when we eat mindlessly. Some eating problems can be attributed to mindlessness in our selection and consumption of food. But if we turn our attention to our senses in choosing to eat food that is both satisfying and nourishing to our body, if we acknowledge our responses to the food, and if we become aware of physical hunger and satiety cues, we might develop a new habit of eating that can have positive results.
