Family meals nourish our minds as well as our bodies

Published: 25 March 2013

Eating as a family is not only good for your physical health, it also has psychological and emotional benefits. A study has found that teenagers who regularly eat with their parents were more self-confident, helpful, trusting and more satisfied with life than those who tended to dine alone. The more frequently a family ate together, the more emotionally stable children were. Researchers say family mealtimes are an opportunity to talk and share problems and experiences, and for parents to pass on advice.
