Healthy Dining Rituals

Few Dining prerequisites for a healthier lifestyle-

• Always have a set allotted time to have dinner with your family. 

  It is a beautiful half an hour of your life that you should give which will make a lot of difference. Dining together helps in great bonding.

• Never mix work and food or study and food. Even if you have only one table, set it for dinner mode with no books and laptops lying around while eating food. 

  Make your dinner and your body a priority so all of you can enjoy the food in a peaceful and relaxed manner. 

• Avoid picking calls during dinner time. The call can wait since it's only 30 minutes of your day that you are giving to yourself, to the food prepared so beautifully, and to your family. 

• Avoid multitasking while eating, a book in one hand, sending messages to your friend, boss, etc. Enjoy the food and give it your full attention and relish its taste. Your body will like you for it. You will feel refreshed. 

• Plan for dinner and try to cook something nice and easy. Eating junk food or Maggi once in a while is fine, but in the long run, it will affect your health.

• Never get so carried away in an unwanted stressful conversation, such that the dinner gets cold and dry. Give equal importance to food. Always try to have a pleasant conversation at the dining table.

• Eat according to your requirements, not more or less. 

  Everything should be moderate - no extra spicy or oily for dinner.

• Food is the fuel for the body. Make it your priority for better health.
