Got Chopsticks?

Continued from our Retreat & Renew Daily Tip.

When it comes to eating well, it’s not just what you put on the plate, but how you put it in your mouth as well. And by eating more slowly and mindfully, you can tune into your body and your mind to help you nourish yourself with just the right amount of great nutrition.

Eating with chopsticks is one great strategy to being more mindful in your daily dining. Here are some additional strategies to help you get your mouth and your mind in sync.

And here are some healthy recipes that almost beg you to use your chopsticks. Bon appetit!
