Healthy Eating Rules Explained
Understanding why each rule matters can make it easier to stick to healthy habits. Here’s a quick breakdown of each principle featured on your free printable poster:
Stop eating before you’re completely full (80% rule)
This rule, inspired by the Japanese practice of Hara Hachi Bu, encourages you to stop eating when you’re about 80% full. It helps prevent overeating and gives your body time to signal fullness—reducing bloating and supporting weight management.
Eat slowly and chew thoroughly
Eating mindfully gives your brain time to register fullness and improves digestion. Chewing well also helps your body absorb more nutrients from your food. Slow down and savor every bite!
Avoid eating when angry, sad, or stressed
Emotional eating can lead to unhealthy food choices and a disconnect from hunger cues. Instead of turning to food for comfort, try mindful practices like deep breathing or journaling to manage emotions in a healthier way.
Limit snacking between meals
Frequent snacking can disrupt digestion and blood sugar balance. By spacing out meals, your body gets time to rest and properly digest food, which supports metabolism and gut health.
Stick to regular meal times
A consistent eating schedule helps regulate your body’s internal clock, stabilizes blood sugar, and can even improve energy levels and mood throughout the day.
Avoid overly hot or cold foods
Extremely hot or cold foods can shock the digestive system and interfere with smooth digestion. Opting for foods that are closer to body temperature can help keep digestion gentle and balanced.
