Mindfulness refers to the practice of being aware of what you are doing while you are doing it without judgment. In the context of eating, being mindful means you are aware of each part of your experience.
People choose to eat for different reasons. Most people say they choose to eat because they are hungry.
According to Jan Chozen-Bays, MD, author of 'Mindful Eating', there are seven different types of hunger relating to different parts of our anatomy - the eyes, nose, mouth, stomach, cells, mind and heart
Nose hunger is also known as the "cinnabon effect". You may walk past a cinnamon bun store and begin to crave a cinnamon bun. The intense smell makes you want to eat even though you may not be hungry.
