Let’s eat together – it really matters

Have you ever wondered how important family meals are? There are a lot of studies which indicate that eating meals together positively affects families, especially children.

Hard to believe? Look below and get to know some of the arguments that stand for this thesis:

• Common meals allow to build traditions and strengthen relations within the family. Thanks to them the need for acceptance and belonging, which is important for everyone, regardless of age, can be realized.

• Family meals are the time when family can be really together. It is the best opportunity to show how important are all members of the family.

• Family meals allow to pay more attention to food itself - eating more slowly triggers a feeling of fullness and has a positive effect on the digestive system.

• Eating together allows not only to eat less, but first of all to eat healthier. Preparing meals for the whole family is associated with taking more care about the quality of food.

• Common conversation during meals enrich the child’s vocabulary better than reading the bedtime stories.

• Children, who often eat meals together with their families, are more likely to develop social skills.

• Family meals have positive effect on mental health and wellbeing thanks to emotional ties.

So what do you think now? Will you eat the next meal with your family?
