May 11, 2021 Oskar Valles enjoys a meal at Mana restaurant in Central, Hong Kong. Valles used to rush his meals and often turned to food when he was stressed. Now he is more mindful of what and how he eats. South China Morning Post Oskar Valles thought he was in tune with his eating habits. Then in 2019 he attended a “mindful eating” workshop and left with a greater understanding of what it means to “eat with intention while paying attention”. Like many people, Valles used to rush through his meals so he could get on with other tasks. He would at times turn to food when stressed, and would eat just because it was time to eat and not because he was hungry.
