Positive dietary habits promote health

Positive dietary habits promote health, whereas unfavorable habits are linked to various chronic diseases.

Family meals are associated with positive dietary intakes and healthy behaviors. Family interaction can lower risk for obesity, enhance language skills and academic performance, and improve social skills!

A family who eats together, stays together!
