September is National Family Meals Month
Why are family meals important?
The scientific research shows extraordinary outcomes – better nutrition, better grades, increased self-esteem, improved social behaviors, longer family relationships and so much more. Top behavior changes included cooking more meals at home, eating together more, making healthier choices, and buying more fruits and veggies; all lead to families with improved physical and emotional health.
We at Taher encourage everyone to have at least one family meal each week at home ~ breakfast, lunch or dinner. Let’s Raise our Mitt to Commit!.CLICK HERE to read more
