Experts highlight group dining for mental health
Eating with others, or "sharing meals," is associated with health benefits that go beyond mere enjoyment, as it helps reduce the likelihood of depression and improves mental well-being. It also contributes to maintaining brain health and limiting cognitive decline. Studies indicate that this habit strengthens social relationships and fosters a sense of belonging, especially since its decline amid increasing social isolation can negatively impact mental health. A study involving 9,361 Chinese women over the age of 60 found that the number of people participating in a meal significantly affects the likelihood of depression, with social interaction during mealtime being an important indicator of better mental health and a higher quality of life.
