HOW FOOD EFFECTS OUR MENTAL HEALTH.

 

Food provides us with nutrition. 

It's, it's fuel,

 food is fuel and it fuels our bodies.

 It fuels our physical activities. It helps us to think and it 

helps our bodies to repair certain parts when they're damaged and they need repair. 

Of course, it helps us to grow and maintain our bodies. 

So, this is a one really important part of the equation.

WE have social functions of food

Dining together and doing so over a long period of time has proven to be beneficial to many people. 

The social relationships that we reinforce, that we develop, by spending time around a table eating and talking together, contribute to our children's mental wellness. 

There's a lot of evidence showing youngsters who eat family dinners have greater emotional well-being. 

From the tiniest of households. 

Extended social networks have existed since the first day of existence and continue to this day. 

Food serves as a means of communication. 

It's a manner of showing that you care about each other. 

It's a way for everyone to get together and celebrate. 

It's also a method for our family's history and traditions to be passed down. 

All of these things fall under the equation's side.

 

 

A way in which we 

record our memories and pass those on. And a way in which we sort of take the 

history of the generation that came before us and pass it on to the next generation. 

So while we recognize the importance of the nutritional contribution of food. 

Food is fueled yes. It certainly is. 

And we recognize that it's critical to our short and long term survival, 

but we can't forget the huge contribution of food and the 

way in which we eat to the survival and the development 

of us as social beings beginning really from the first day 

that a child is born and someone provides that child with food.

And finally, eating together and, doing that over time for many, many years is a way in which we pass on our families traditions. A way in which we record our memories and pass those on. And a way in which we sort of take the history of the generation that came before us and pass it on to the next generation.
