The Prophet ﷺ said: "When one of you eats food, let him say Bismillah. If he forgets at the beginning, let him say Bismillah fi awwalihi wa akhirih (In the name of Allah at its beginning and its end)."
Chanzo: Sahih Bukhari 5376
Sayansi
Research in mindful eating shows that pausing before meals with a ritual or intention reduces overeating by 15-20%. The momentary pause activates the prefrontal cortex, promoting conscious food choices.
