If you are looking for ways to increase your appetite there are all kinds of simple things you can do at home to increase, improve, and stimulate your appetite.

Create a nice relaxing atmosphere to appreciate food and friends as well as increase your appetite. Turn eating into an event or cause for celebration. Practice being present and appreciating every bite of food you put in your mouth. Chewing your food up properly into little bits aids not only stimulates your appetite buts aids in proper digestive system function. You can experiment with exotic herbs, spices, and colors to stimulate your appetite. Regular exercise is also an easy way to stimulate and improve your appetite.

It may sound funny, but it is important to 'set the mood' and create an atmosphere that is clean, healthy, fun, stimulating and inviting to eat in. This can stimulate and increase your appetite and you can actually enjoy eating again. Set aside a time you can sit down and eat. Resist the urge to eat and run or eat if you feel stressed. Make it, if not a daily, at-least a weekly ritual to really make it a nice moment and enjoy the experience of eating and appreciating food. Take a moment to sit down, relax and enjoy your food, maybe a little wine, and some company. Put on some of your favorite music, cook together with friends or family and celebrate togetherness, food, and friendship. Enjoy everything about the food and the careful preparation; the smell and aroma, the colors, the perfect temperature, the presentation, the feel and the texture, the care that went into preparation, the taste and unique flavors.

Use anything that you like about the moment or the food to amplify that good feeling and expand on it, create some anticipation in your subconscious for eating. Milk this moment for everything it has got, be present and use all of your senses and feel how vivid life and food can be. Food can be stimulating and fun as well as just a basic source of energy. Try this a couple times and you will be salivating with anticipation the next time you sit down to eat and give thanks for the moment. I really think if you practice some appreciation and presence with your food you can stimulate and improve your appetite.

Practicing good manners can also give your appetite a boost. Remember to chew nice and slowly when you eat, and chew your food up all the way into little bits to aid your digestion. Chewing or 'mastication' stimulates the glands in your mouth into taking action, secreting the digestive enzymes that starts the digestive process. Your improved digestive system will thank you and you will be more present in the moment if you can consciously focus on chewing your food up properly. Teach your kids to chew their food up all the way. If you truly want to stimulate and improve your appetite, don't gulp it down, chew your food fully and get those digestive enzymes and juices flowing.

You can also use color to stimulate your appetite. Do you ever remember walking thru a local market and being surrounded by all the lush colors of the fresh produce and flowers. Look around the produce department next time you are in the grocery store. See if any of the colors catch your eye or draw you in. Is your body craving anything, take just a couple seconds to see if 'your gut' is trying to tell you anything about food. Try using different spices and herbs to enhance the flavor of your food and stimulate your palate. Spices and herbs can add zing and color to your food, not to mention enhance your appetite. Red is a stimulating color that color therapists recommend clients use to create a stimulating environment. Get a nice red boquet of flowers for your table and see if it increases or stimulates your appetite. Regular exercise can also be stimulating to the appetite and raise your metabolism and energy levels.

Regular exercise also helps you assimilate all of the nutrients in your food. Practice awareness when exercising to avoid strain, stress, or injury.
