Named the main benefits of joint family dinners of adults with children

For the health of children, it is important not only what they eat, but also with whom they share a meal. Joint lunches and dinners help to expand the diet, get acquainted with new foods and form healthy habits that can persist throughout life. This is reported by the publication Infobae.

Argentine experts are developing new nutritional guidelines for children and adolescents from 2 to 17 years old as part of the NutreAR initiative. Special attention is paid to the culture of co-nutrition - comensalidad. This concept covers not only the composition of dishes, but also the atmosphere at the table, communication, family traditions and everyday eating habits.

According to the editorial director of the publication Daniela Blanco, children often learn new tastes, imitating adults and peers. Watching parents, brothers, sisters or friends eat vegetables, fruits and other foods, the child is more willing to try unfamiliar food. This approach helps to overcome selectivity in food and make the diet more diverse.

Experts also pay attention to the habit of eating alone in front of the TV or in your room. Experts advise to keep at least one meal a day, preferably dinner. Even with a busy work and study schedule, this tradition creates opportunities for communication and the formation of a healthy attitude to food.

It is equally important to involve children in cooking and buying food. Simple activities – washing vegetables, making a salad or choosing ingredients for dinner – develop independence and interest in healthy eating. Experts emphasize that healthy eating habits are formed not only through the right menu, but also through personal example, communication and participation of children in family life.
