Benefits of eating with family
Try to count, in this week, how many times have you had time to eat with your children? Seven times, five times, twice, or nothing?
Researchers at Rutgers, State University of New Jersey, United States of America, found that there are many benefits that can be obtained by children who have the habit of eating with their families, as follows:
1. The habit of having dinner with the family can prevent obesity in children.
2. Eating with family encourages children to consume more fruits, vegetables, fiber, and a variety of foods rich in calcium and vitamins.
3. Children from families who have the habit of having dinner together rarely consume junk food and soft drink.
4. These children tend to have a better diet.
5. These kids too tend to perform better in school
So what are you waiting for? Immediately rearrange your daily schedule and put eating together as a top priority.
