Discover the secret to a healthy life. A guide to mindful eating.
Over the past decades, our eating habits have undergone tremendous changes. Increased availability of processed foods and changing attitudes towards food have significantly affected our health. In the face of these changes, more and more people are turning to mindful eating, which can become the foundation of a healthy lifestyle.
History of eating habits
Until a few decades ago, diet was heavily dependent on local resources. The farming communities mainly used crops, while the fishing communities used fish. Over time, with the development of the food industry, processed foods began to dominate, which are now widely available and inexpensive. Unfortunately, we often choose low-quality products, which leads to an epidemic of obesity and diseases of civilization (such as diabetes and digestive diseases).
The evolution of cereals and gluten
Cereals, which were once a staple of our ancestors' diets, have undergone a significant transformation. Modern cereals, such as wheat, have been modified to increase yields and disease resistance, which has affected their composition. The increased gluten content of wheat has become problematic for many people, leading to intolerances and allergies. Micronized, mONCANA gluten-free flours, are an excellent alternative to traditional grain products, offering quality and safety to people with gluten intolerance. In addition, thanks to the ultra-fine grinding, the nutrients in our flours are better absorbed by the body.
Conscious food choices
In response to growing health problems, more and more people are choosing to eat consciously. It involves selecting food products based on their health value and effect on the body. Conscious eating is not just a trend, but part of a philosophy of life that promotes listening to your body's needs and choosing food of the highest quality.
What conscious eating is all about?
Conscious nutrition is an approach that emphasizes the quality and manner of food consumption. Includes:
- Eating slowly and chewing each bite thoroughly
- Avoiding distractions during meals
- Appreciate the taste and quality of food
- Observing how food affects our bodies
- Selecting quality products
Two key assumptions are:
- Distinguish true hunger from eating out of boredom or emotion
- Eating until satiated, not overeating

Emotional hunger vs. physical
One of the challenges of conscious eating is distinguishing between emotional and physical hunger. Emotional hunger occurs under stress or sadness, while physical hunger is the result of the body's actual need for energy. It's worth learning to recognize these signals and respond accordingly. Especially since we often confuse hunger with thirst and a glass of water would completely satisfy us.

Conscious eating vs. economics
Although eating quality produce may seem more expensive, it may prove more cost-effective in the long run. By eating mindfully, we consume less food, which can lead to savings. In addition, our health depends on our diet, and as the saying goes 'if you don't pay for prevention today, you'll spend twice as much on treatment tomorrow'."
Conscious nutrition vs ecology
Conscious eating also has a positive impact on the environment. By choosing quality products and consuming them in smaller quantities, we reduce food waste. In this way, we can support local suppliers and domestic manufacturers who care about the environment. In addition, more and more people are reducing their meat consumption in favor of plant-based proteins, which contributes to environmental protection and animal welfare. By choosing carefully we can have a positive impact on our planet.
Get more pleasure from your food
Conscious eating is also a way to get more pleasure from food. By focusing on the taste and quality of meals, we can fully appreciate each bite and enjoy eating without guilt. It's a philosophy that promotes a healthy attitude toward food and living in harmony with one's body. Conscious eating is more than a diet - it's a way to live a healthy and fulfilling life. By listening to our body's needs and making conscious choices, we can improve our physical and mental health, as well as have a positive impact on the environment.
