A utilização do mindful eating no tratamento dos transtornos alimentares

Abstract

Mindful eating (ME) is a very current approach, which, undoubtedly, from the food of the diet are considered to the physical and food sensations that occur during the act of treating, that is, that during the act of eating are considered current. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the use of ME in the treatment of eating disorders and analyze its relationship with changes in eating behavior. In this integrative review, articles published from 2019 to 2021, articles in Portuguese and English scientific languages, articles that contributed to the research objective, review articles and only one experimental study were included. Articles published in books published in previous years were removed, 2019 databases, which only published articles were published that were not published articles published in previous years for the study. It is observed in the results an intervention based on ME is capable of modifying the practices of the found eating behaviors and, consequently, the conversion and/or food restriction generated by the food transformations. It is also possible to improve the relationship with the bodies and in the feelings of these issues, which are used to improve physical and mental health. Thus, it is suggested that an ME intervention can be used as a complement to cognitive and behavioral techniques already used to treat eating disorders in adults, as it helps to maintain control of the food intake of these individuals, as they become aware of their food experiences.
