What you eat can affect your mental health. Good physical health is important for good mental health, and vice versa, so a healthy diet is important. But research suggests some foods may be particularly good or bad for mental health.

Dr. Amy Fuller's insight:
This pilot study enrolled 10 overweight members of the YMCA with 2 hour training in mindful eating and living (MEAL) weekly for 6 weeks. Compared to the information gathered at the beginning, participants "showed statistically significant increases in measures of mindfulness and cognitive restraint around eating, and statistically significant decreases in weight, eating disinhibition, binge eating, depression, perceived stress, physical symptoms, negative affect, and C-reactive protein." Basically, mindful eating means healthy living.

There’s great joy and peace to be realized if we live our lives mindfully in the present moment, rather than mentally in the past or the future. Awareness is the key to mindfulness, but it doesn’t come easily for most of us.
Dr. Amy Fuller's insight:
This is one mans story of using mindful meditation on a journey to greater health. It is a summary of Danny Penman and Mark William's award-winning book called ‘Mindfulness – An 8-week plan for finding peace in a frantic world’. This is a great book on mindfulness.

This summer I worked in a middle school camp. I taught yoga to a group of students that you would think would be uninterested. A group of “baseball jocks” that instead fought to be my assistant during our daily yoga practice. ...by teaching them a few tricks, we can teach our kids to slow down and enjoy their food and they won’t need as much. The kids that drink their coke in under a minute and are grabbing for another are not even noticing the taste of what they are drinking and on top of that they are packing on empty calories. One trick I taught myself to stop guzzling or shoveling was to put down my glass or can between each sip. This also works when eating. Put your fork or spoon down on the table between bites.
