I'm trying to eat healthier. What are some healthy snacks?<|im_end|>

Great goal! Some healthy snack options include fruits like apples or bananas, carrot sticks with hummus, and a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts.<|im_end|>

What about mindful eating? I've heard that's important too.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Mindful eating is about paying attention to your hunger and fullness cues, savoring your food, and eating slowly. It can help you enjoy your food more and develop a healthier relationship with eating.<|im_end|>

That makes sense. How can I start practicing mindful eating?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Start by turning off the TV and putting away your phone while you eat, and try to focus on the taste, smell, and texture of your food. Take small bites and chew slowly – it's a great way to begin!<|im_end|>
