Spending Time With Family

Spending some quality time with family and eating healthy food.

When families dine together, they tend to eat more vegetables, fruits, fewer fried foods, soda, and meals with less trans fat because the person preparing home-cooked meals will be more deliberate in preparing the home cooked meal. "Eating sensibly doesn't take much time or money, but it does require you to make a conscious decision” which means expenses, time and choices are not a problem when preparing home-cooked meals. When young teenagers frequently eat dinner with their families are less likely to be overweight than other children.

Praying for their food as a family in the dinner table.

It is a great way to have home cooked food because you also have a stronger communication with your family. Each of the family members can take part in food preparation to improve the family relationship, and will be “prepared with care and love, food is synonymous with community and family”. Unlike the fast food industries, home cooked meals are healthier for you and should be taken into consideration knowing that it will build up healthier family relationships when dining together.
