Hara Hachi Bu - A Japanese Phrase for Mindful Eating

 While reading some articles online, I came across this wonderful Japanese Phrase "Hara Hachi Bu".


This phrase translates to "Belly 80% Full" - a practice of consuming food until your stomach is 80% full. It is a technique that promotes mindful eating. Here are significant tips for consciously enjoying your meals.

  • Eat slowly so that your brain can receive signals from your stomach as to the fullness of your belly.
  • Eat smaller portions or morsels of food for a better chewing experience.
  • Recognize the flavors and tastes while eating.
  • Try to estimate the quantum and levels of your hunger.
  • Refrain from distractions while eating. Do not watch TV or use phones.
  • Stop eating as soon as you feel enough or satisfied.
