                      Ziqitza - How to eat mindfully when working from office 
We all know that we should "have a balanced diet and 
take regular exercise," but this is easier said than done 
when you work nine-hour days, don't have time for lunch, 
commute for two hours, and have to fit in a home life in 
16 hours. 
  
Frequent deadlines, work stress, and a lack of a calm 
setting are just a few things that have an adverse effect on 
our eating habits when we are at work. Yet, mindful eating 
at work has become essential for employee health as the 
relevance of wellbeing has grown. 
  
What is mindful eating, and what specific actions can you 
take to incorporate it into your everyday routine? 
According to mindful.org, "mindfulness" is the 
fundamental human capacity to be fully present, aware 
of where we are and what we are doing, and not too 
reactive or overwhelmed by what is going on around us. 
Ziqitza explains that mindful eating is founded on this 
Buddhist concept. 
  
So, mindful eating can be defined as the act of eating 
while paying close attention to one's sensations while 
doing so. Now that you've asked yourself that question, 
what does it mean to eat mindfully and pay attention to 
your experiences? According to Ziqitza Healthcare the 
below listed constitutes mindful eating: 
eating gently, keeping all distractions to a minimum 
 
utilising all of one's senses and paying attention to the way 
that the meal feels, looks, smells, and tastes 
 
consuming only when your body signals hunger 
Keeping from overeating 
 
Understanding your own hunger as well as external factors 
that influence your eating 
 
Understanding, embracing, and managing guilt and anxiety 
while eating 
 
Maintaining your general health and wellbeing with food 
valuing the food you consume 
According to Ziqitza Healthcare ltd, when you eat a 
bowl of spaghetti for lunch, you stop glancing at 
your screens, checking your emails, or worrying 
about that dreaded dental appointment that is due 
the following week. Instead, You concentrate on the 
platter of pasta in front of you. You either enjoy the 
aroma or detect its absence. You take note of the 
white sauce's hue and consistency. You pay 
attention to how each bite feels on your tongue. It's 
just you and the food on the plate as you do this, 
with no interaction with anyone else. Eat in the 
present moment. 
Using Mindful Eating in the Workplace 
Take the time to plan your meals: Take your time choosing what you 
want to eat for lunch at work, advises Ziqitza Rajasthan. Choosing what 
to eat while "taking your time" would entail your body and choose a 
meal that satisfies those demands. 
Avoiding distractions: How frequently do you 
spend your lunch hour staring at an Excel 
spreadsheet, creating a presentation for your 
upcoming client meeting, or perhaps just browsing 
social media? 
  
To practise mindful eating at work, Ziqitza Limited 
advocates avoiding any such distractions. Remove 
yourself from all displays. If at all possible, eat your 
meals outside where you can relax with a gentle 
wind and sunlight. You can have lunch with your 
coworkers and engage in mindful eating with them 
if you prefer company. 
You must proceed slowly if you want to practise 
mindful eating at work. Consume gradually. Make 
the most of your lunch hour to truly enjoy each bite. 
There's no reason to hurry. 
  
Pay attention to your triggers: Food should only be 
consumed when you are truly hungry. But it 
frequently occurs that we eat a muffin out of 
boredom or that we eat a whole box of chocolates in 
an hour without even realizing it. It is quite simple to 
become caught up in the rabbit hole and continue 
eating at work merely because you can. Ziqitza 
Limited Rajasthan advises to pay attention to the 
triggers that make you hungry and not hungry. 
Every workplace has a distinct atmosphere, 
culture, and lunch break procedures. While 
certain workplaces may be too busy, 
crowded, and disorderly for mindful eating, 
others may give you the room and time you 
need to eat in solitude. You might need to 
establish a mindful eating culture yourself. 
The goal is to progressively internalise the 
practise of mindful eating, which involves 
being fully aware of everything we eat.
