Stay Connected to Reduce Stress
From eNewsletter 1/25/2023
DID YOU KNOW that there is a way for parents to stay connected to their children and reduce stress at the same time? A survey by the American Heart Association published the following results:
Up to 91% of parents report lower levels of stress among their family when they connect regularly over a meal, and doing so helps boost self-esteem and improve social connection, particularly for kids.
Overall, most people say they eat alone about half of the time, but 84% of adults wish they could share a meal with others more often.
More than half of those surveyed say they are more likely to make healthier food choices when eating with other people but that they have difficulty aligning schedules with their friends or family to do so.
Given that 65% of adults surveyed said they are at least somewhat stressed, and more than a quarter are very or extremely stressed, should you not make a point to try to eat together? For older persons, making an effort to schedule plans with family and friends should be a priority.
