Explanation:
Eating is one of our most basic functions. We eat to survive, but also to thrive. In order to thrive, the energy we create around the process of eating is as vital as what we actually eat. In our go-go-go society, we often don’t take the setting we create around food consumption into consideration at all. We tend to think let’s just get the food into our mouths and move onto something more interesting or productive. This is a relatively new way of approaching eating. Our ancestors didn’t just see food as fuel. In the past, a lot of significance was placed around mealtimes and people intuitively understood the value of how we eat and with whom we eat.
So, why does the social setting in which you eat matter? Here are five important reasons why:
Opportunity to Slow Down
A good bit of wisdom from writer Michael Pollan is to, “spend as much time enjoying the meal as it took to prepare it.” Dining with others gives us that needed pause in our busy lives where we can just sit, relax, and enjoy the food and company. By sitting down to a meal, we can also cultivate a mindful way of eating. Slowing down allows us to pay attention to the whole process of eating - chewing, tasting, and swallowing the food, which leads to better digestion and assimilation. Mindless eating is more likely to happen if we eat on the go, at our desk while working, driving, watching TV, etc.
