Be aware of our eating and drinking

Try to avoid distractions when eating. If we eat whilst watching the television for example, we tend not to notice or appreciate the food we're eating

Don't eat on the run. We should take time to eat our food - this is important for digestion, for helping us to taste and appreciate our food and for helping to ensure that our brains recognise when we feel full.

Don't eat everything on the plate if we don’t need it  - we should stop eating once we feel full.
