The Effect of a 5-Minute Body Scan Mindfulness Intervention on Healthier Food Choices (Institutional Review Board at the University of Arkansas #2001246274)
The effects of mindfulness interventions on food purchases and consumption are popular topics. Recent studies focus on mindfulness interventions which target overweight and obese populations. We measure the effects of a guided 5-minute body scan mindfulness intervention on “healthier” food purchases in an online experiment. Specifically, we use a choice experiment approach with a between-subject design to evaluate participants’ choices of unhealthy/healthier foods. Results revealed the mindfulness intervention effectively increased state mindfulness in the treatment group. The treatment had a positive and significant effect in the overweight subsample. Additionally, we found nutrition knowledge to have a positive and significant effect on “healthier” food choices across 3 regression models and various subsamples. Our findings suggest that mindfulness interventions may be a useful, low-cost alternative to current weight loss strategies, especially for overweight and obese individuals. In addition, our findings point to the importance of nutrition knowledge in promoting “healthier” food choices.
