Housecall for Health: Distracted Eating

Enjoy watching that TV show during dinner?  Check up on your email while having a snack?  You might want to ditch those distractions, as they could be harmful to your waistline.

FOX’s Colleen Cappon reports in today’s “Housecall for Health”:

They say being an attentive eater, by sitting quietly and concentrating on eating, can decrease food consumption.
