We wanted to close out Nutrition Month with some tips from the registered dietitians in our Women, Infants and Children (WIC) division:
Food is an essential part of daily life, so it’s important to understand our connection or relationship with our food. Here are some ideas on how to do this. . .
🍊 Eat mindfully: slowing down allows for more enjoyment of each bite. Notice the flavors, textures and aromas. Reduce distractions like screens to focus more on the food you are eating.
🥝 Practice gratitude: before eating, take a moment to acknowledge the effort that went into the food. Express gratitude for the food provided and the people involved in making of it.
🫑 Reflect on your emotions – Keep a journal to write about your meals and how they make you feel. This can uncover emotional connections and patterns.

Things to keep in mind:
👉 Short chats are more effective than one BIG talk
👉 Conversations go two ways
👉 Listen to their thoughts too
👉 Be clear about your expectations: “Not a drop until 21!”
👉 Work to build trust
