Uber Eats has launched a mindfulness audio guide, Mindful Mouthful, to help people take a moment to reset and reflect before they sit down to eat - as half of us say we have felt very stressed or burnt out in the past month. People are worrying about money, work, health and negative news headlines according to a new study.
Two-fifths of those surveyed struggle to switch off when they finish work, with 74% admitting to engaging in mindless eating habits such as eating standing up and consuming food straight from the fridge. 81% admit to regularly scrolling on their phone while eating, whilst 68% of millennials say they often continue to work whilst eating.
Launched during International Stress Awareness Week, Mindful Mouthful has been designed by mindfulness guru Luke Doherty, who helps sporting stars such as Marcus Smith use meditative practices to help deal with high pressure moments. It’s narrated by radio DJ Roman Kemp, who has been vocal on his use of mindfulness as one tool which improves his mental wellbeing.
