Abstract

Mindfulness is the capacity to bring full attention and awareness to one's current experience. Correspondingly, Mindful eating brings attention to food choice and eating experience. Today, mindfulness and its assistive techniques have helped thousands of people, including the clinical population, in their daily lives to cope with clinical problems such as depression and chronic anxiety, as well as frequently encountered mental and cognitive problems such as problem solving and emotion regulation in addition to helping people to live more focused and consciously. Food is one of the most basic elements required for the survival of human beings, and nutrition is an integral part of the daily routine for all living things. In this context, it is inevitable that the mindfulness affects food choices and eating habits as well as the food's role on mindfulness meditations which can increase awareness. Due to this fact, the arise of the questions regarding the origins, effects and applications of mindful eating become inevidable. Therefore, this aforementioned study aimed to clarify this concept and related questions based on the latest findings.

BESLENMEDE FARKINDALIK

Abstract

Farkındalık, kişinin mevcut deneyimine tam dikkat ve farkındalık getirme kapasitesidir. Beslenmede farkındalık yemek seçimine ve yemek yeme deneyimine dikkat getirir. Bugün, farkındalık ve buna yardımcı teknikler günlük hayattaki binlerce insanın depresyon, kronik kaygı gibi klinik problemlerin yanında problem çözme, duygu regülasyonu gibi sıklıkla karşılaşılan ruhsal ve bilişsel sorunlarla baş etmesine yardımcı olarak kişilerin daha ana odaklı ve bilinçli şekilde yaşamasına yardımcı olmuştur. Yemek insanoğlunun yaşamını sürdürmesi için gereken en temel unsurlardan biridir ve beslenme bütün canlılar için günlük rutinin ayrılmaz bir parçasıdır. Bu bağlamda da farkındalık durumunun beslenmeyi etkilemesi, aynı şekilde beslenmenin farkındalığı arttıracak tekniklerde kullanılabilmesi kaçınılmazdır. Buna bağlı ortaya çıkabilecek sorular beslenmede farkındalığın kökeni, kişi üzerinde etkileri ve uygulamalarını kapsamaktadır. Söz konusu çalışma güncel verilerle bu bağlamı ve oluşabilecek soruları aydınlatmayı amaçlamıştır.
