Eat with other people (not with your phone)

Steer your eyes away from screens and your body and mind will thank you in the long run.

"Distracted eating" or watching tv, scrolling through your smartphone, and even working while eating can lead you to eat more. A report published in the America Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that when you aren't paying attention to what you eat, you snack more later on.

There are many benefits to eating with other people instead of eating alone, including teaching children social skills or decompressing after a long day. In addition, research shows single people eat fewer servings of vegetables a day in comparison to people who are married or who live with other people.
