Nutrition Facts
Mindless eating is more common than you might think. More than 66% of Americans report regularly eating dinner in front of the television.
When we eat mindlessly rather than mindfully, research suggests digestion may be 30% to 40% less effective. This can lead to symptoms such as gas and bloating or can make digestive side effects even worse.
Overeating and obesity may be partially explained by mindless eating. If the mind is distracted while you are eating, the signals that tell your brain you are satisfied may not be received properly.
