The Impact of Eating With Others On Your Health
Eating meals with others leads to being more present, eating more slowly, and potentially engaging in post-meal activities like walking. It fosters better digestion, insulin response, and blood sugar levels. Cultures that emphasize shared meals have strong social support networks, leading to improved emotional and financial well-being. The evidence shows that companionship has a significant impact on physical health, as seen in cases where a broken heart can lead to a type of heart attack known as Takotsubo's cardiomyopathy, resulting in death.
