Take A Bite, Take A Breath

A study from the University of Rhode Island found that slowing down between bites decreases a person’s calorie intake by 10%. ‘Breathing helps you gauge how hungry you are because it directs your mind towards your body,’ says Jeffrey Greeson, a health psychologist at Rowan University. ‘It’s also practical because you can do it throughout a meal without drawing attention to yourself.’ Inhale oxygen, not your dinner.
