Health benefits of family meals

If you're tired of your family "bubble", I get it. While I love my husband and 2 teenage daughters, being in the same 4 walls for several months can get under your skin. I miss my friends, in-laws and extended family.

Working from home can also be tricky.Personally, I'm used to working from home. Prior to the pandemic, I was home at least 2 or 3 days a week writing. I enjoyed the quiet and was quite productive.

It's certainly different now that my husband is also working from home and my girls have remote school. Our meals haven't changed too drastically from before, though I have to sometimes remind my daughters to come out of their rooms to take a snack break.

They often grab food between classes and run back upstairs in time for class.If your family meals have been a bit out of whack, read my article below published in Today's Dietitian.

It may encourage you to keep cooking and meeting around the table with your "bubble". Stay healthy friends!Family Meals for Better Health - Today's Dietitian Magazine
