While much is written about what we eat, far less attention is given to how we eat. Yet, this is just as vital for healthy digestion, energy and mental clarity.
Digestion is influenced not only by food quality, but by pace, presence and emotional state. Eating on the go, multitasking at a desk or scrolling through emails activates the stress response, diverting energy away from digestion and impacting focus and resilience.
Mindful eating invites a simple shift: slow down, pause between bites, breathe and eat with intention. These small changes support digestive fire, stabilise energy levels and calm the nervous system, benefits that extend directly into cognitive performance and emotional balance at work.
For teams and leaders alike, how we eat is a quiet yet powerful wellbeing practice. When digestion improves, so does clarity, decision-making and sustainable performance.
