Our busy corporate lives leave us no time to interact with our family members (even during the lockdown!) and there are times when there are days at stretch when you hardly interact with them. 

In the rut of our hectic schedules, deadlines, and the hustle of city life our lives have become dull and lost its charm. So, a family outing is absolutely necessary and what’ll make it even more special is a cozy meal in a lovely restaurant with delectable food on the table. 

Research has also come to suggest that having a meal together as a family at least four times a week has positive impact on mood and being with the family brings a sense of security and safety in every family member. 

Though, due to the COVID-19 crisis, options aren’t that aplenty as such but going to something as basic as a Starbucks Coffee in New Delhi can also fulfill the agenda.  
Listed below are some benefits of eating together as a family:

Eating together helps you stay connected- Enjoying a meal together as a whole unit lets you stay connected to each other’s life. You know what’s happening in your parents, siblings, children’s life. It leads to better bonding and strong relationships and also generates the belief that as a family you stand along and support each other.

Eating together helps you relax- Going to your favorite restaurant and having your favorite food is a joy incomparable. Food brings great happiness and why not let this joy flow down to your family too. Order your lip-smacking pastas, chilli chicken, tenderloin steak, waffles, ice creams and more and soak up all the love.

A family meal improves nutrition- When eating with the family you make an effort to order something healthy instead of the junk you eat on a daily basis. It lets you be mindful of your loved ones.

Eating together is fun- You all would agree with this. Yes, eating with your family is fun. You can click pictures, crack light jokes, shares anecdotes of your day and make memories to last a lifetime. Always make use to this opportunity whenever possible.

Eating with the family provides an opportunity for gratitude- While many people are unfortunate not to have a family, eating with your family fills your heart with gratitude for this huge blessing. You feel privileged and learn to be thankful to all the things in your life.
