    Mindless Eating: Wrecking Your Health?
    Do you often eat while sitting in front of the TV, working at your desk or with various other distractions?

    The answer for most people is a big fat YES.

    This type of eating is classified as mindless eating. You are too busy focused on other things, that you may not notice how much you're taking in.

    The opposite, of course, is mindful eating. Mindful eating is about truly experiencing food without other distractions or rushing through your meal in this fast-paced world.

    In this segment of Naturally Savvy, holistic health coach, Jennifer Mielke, explains why mindful eating is much healthier for you than mindless eating.
