Mealtimes make for great social gatherings where people spend good time together with their family members and friends. There are occasions when people join their colleagues and relatives to eat hearty meals together. An important aspect of eating together should be to completely enjoy the food without having any negative conversations and stressful thoughts.
Discussing something negative on the eating table is one bad thing many of us practice, and this fact has been validated by health experts. Eating meals while harboring negative thoughts and discussions reduce the positive effects the food should have on one’s mind and body.
There are people in some cultures who make it a point to thoroughly enjoy their food. The families sit together, have healthy discussions, and enjoy the aspect of eating together. Nothing negative and depressing is allowed to surface in the conversations over the dining table.
If you have ever visited China, especially the not so developed parts of the country, you will see that many locals live long, healthy lives by defying age and time. The people living in the traditional households of China and many other countries make it a point never to discuss something intense or stressful while eating.
If you are happy and enjoy the food with your near and dear ones, it definitely enhances the food’s positive impact on your health. Better digestion is what results from eating food with all good thoughts in mind and a long and healthy discussion with the family.
You should find a good reason to be happy and make others happy during meals. This can be done simply by sharing a joke or discussing something you experienced in the day. Remembering the memories of a family vacation should also keep you and your family happy on the dining table.
Things that should be restricted from discussion while eating relate to money dealing and business handling. Those belonging to the business world are more prone to stressful talks during their meals. Such matters should not be allowed to creep in while having meal with family and friends.
This explains the importance of eating with your family and not alone. Your mind may be occupied with negative thoughts when you are all alone on the eating table. Take some time out and set it as a rule to eat in group, as this practice will keep you happy for a long time to come.

Thanks Christian, My wife and I visited relatives in Hong Kong recently. We were at a local restaurant with our family members, when the conversations get to the our poor health and ailments the kids were lightly tapping the table, we received the signal and promptly changed to another subject.
I noticed that you also researched ED. I had this problem due to my type 2 diabetes and my doctor had prescribed two type of medications for it. I stumbled on a dietary supplement which worked for me for the last 10 months and I have not taking any diabetes or ED drugs. Can you help me or can we jointly market this supplement. This product really worked for me and I have my doctor’s report to prove it. As you know they say that there is no cure for diabetes, I am happy even if it is a temparily cure. Thanks,
James
Great article!We can all learn something from it.
What a lovely outlook! I am sure a contributory factor is that while one is talking, one cannot be eating quite as much, and the delay means it is easier to register that one has eaten enough, and not put on so much weight as a result. I have seen many Westerners eating huge amounts of food in a rush, beating the natural satiety mechanism to it. Switch on the TV, and you get even more food down before you realise you had enough long ago. I prefer your way!
Thanks for brightening up my day.
Hi Christian, Your observation while on your trip to Germany and Austria is quite interesting as it is indeed the secret to long life,only positive things should be discussed while eating with your Family for only so can you really enjoy those special and happy moments. I believe that living a life of to much pressure to get things done quickly,as if everthing is of utmost importance even though most of it is not, is really shortening our lives.We must live a humble life,Lets follow the chinese we may live to be 100 as my grand mother did(103yrs)
