The consequences spotlight the potential of mindfulness in fostering mindful ingesting and contributing to weight control. Integrating mindfulness into interventions may additionally enhance their efficacy in addressing the mental aspects of eating behavior. Future research ought to discover included interventions combining mindfulness practices with targeted bodily activity techniques for comprehensive metabolic health.
