Eating smart’s heart-smart, and mindfulness makes it stick. NHS says slowing down—chewing 20 times, savoring flavors—cuts overeating, aiding weight and BP control. Ditch distractions (no TV); focus on your plate. Plate up: half veggies, quarter protein, quarter carbs—balance rules. Studies show mindful eaters lose 5% more weight, easing heart strain. Crave chips? Swap for nuts—same crunch, better fats. Attia ties this to longevity—less stress, better choices. Your heart’s dining happier—taste the difference!
