One of the causes of rising obesity could be the lack of family dinners.
Imagine a house where every night the family shuts off the television, the mobile phones, the Ipad and eats dinner together. It takes up a few minutes of your day, and disconnects you from the outside world at large. It connects you with your inner world – your family – your only world when you were first born.
For many of my generation, family dinners are a one-off thing, usually going out for dinner with the large, extended family, during festival times. A family should dine together daily. Sadly, family dinners are a dying thing.
Today, it’s tough to get the family together for dinner at the same time. But, it’s worth the effort. Family dinners can include or exclude family conversations. Have a quiet dinner with your family, even if you don’t have anything to share with them. Spending some quiet time together is a great way to strengthen bonds. Also, it’s a good way to be away from the television and not over-eat. Eating together is a great way to eat well.
So save the time for your family dinner. Happy eating together !
