WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER: Dining Together Is Good for You – Not Just Because of the Food
May 20, 2022 @ 10:30am
Sitting down to share family dinner isn’t just good for physical health, it’s good for
mental health
.
More than two decades of research show: Kids who eat with their families
do better in school
; and they
have bigger vocabularies
.
They also have lower rates of depression, anxiety, and eating disorders, as well as healthier diets and better cardiovascular health.
But it’s not just good news for kids: The data shows that, across the lifespan, shared meals are associated with
healthier eating and better mood
. Science has even shown that when unrelated adults, like firefighters, cook and eat together, they all show enhanced team performance.
When kids are present at mealtime, parents may eat healthier foods, too… perhaps to
model good behavior and provide the best nourishment
they can for their kids.
Plus, parents who regularly dined with their kids reported
higher levels of family functioning, greater self-esteem and lower levels of depressive symptoms and stress
.
