In this brief instructional segment, Dr. Priti Nanda Sibal explains the concept of thoughtful (mindful) eating. She defines it as actively using all five senses—smell, sight, taste, touch, and hearing—while consuming food, and recommends chewing each bite between 16 and 32 times. She highlights a physiological fact: the stomach needs roughly 20 minutes to signal fullness to the brain. Because people often eat while distracted, they may exceed this window and overeat. By slowing down, chewing thoroughly, and focusing on sensory experience, one can feel satiated after eating a smaller portion, leading to greater satisfaction and reduced overeating. The speaker encourages viewers to try this practice at home to experience the benefits.

So what is thoughtful eating? Thoughtful eating is using all our 5 senses while we are eating. Yeah, starting from the smell to the color to the taste. And we should chew our food at least 16 to 32 times every And you know what you will realize? Today go back home and try doing this and you will realize that even when you've eaten half of what you eat normally, you will feel so satiated that you will say, wow, mica, I've eaten in a year but I'm enjoying it so much. Because it is, you know, our stomach takes about 20 minutes to send the message to the brain that I'm full. So what happens is, when we are looking here and there, when we are focusing on something else, by the time our stomach tells us, "Kya, what is happening?" We have already overeaten. Yeah? So please remember to do this.
