Öz

BESLENMEDE FARKINDALIK

Öz

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.
