The two newly introduced mindful dietary interventions focus on improving the eating experience by sensing the users on the after-effects of eating certain foods. These foods that these interventions target are generally considered unhealthy and a big cause of weight gain such as desserts.
The results testing these interventions revealed that users ate a lesser amount of chocolates after they were subjected to this mindfulness. These tools are available for everyone to try through an online survey, which will help the researchers to finish their research.
The purpose of this research is to change the habitual tendency of a person to continue eating even if the body doesn’t need it or to eat unhealthy food which may end up causing various health problems such as obesity and cardiovascular diseases. Every person has a biological signals system which indicates hunger, satiation, and cravings.
