Podcasts about mealtime

Imagine cruising through the cosmos on a real spaceship, our everyday lives would take a cosmic turn. Forget rush hour – floating gracefully in zero gravity would be the new normal, making morning commutes a breeze. Mealtime? Say hello to space cuisine, with floating food orbs and sipping on liquid drops in a futuristic dining experience. Sleep would be an anti-gravity dream, as we snugly float in our sleeping pods, living the sci-fi bedtime story. And of course, our entertainment would skyrocket, with virtual reality spacewalks and stargazing sessions replacing conventional movie nights.

Do you ever feel like breakfast is an afterthought – something you grab on the go or skip in favour of coffee to see you through to lunchtime?  It's so easy to let breakfast be th eone meal we forget about or put the least thought in.  But this week on Raising Healthy Mothers, I'm digging into how capitalism and the patriarchy have reshaped the way we think about breakfast, pushing convenience over nourishment and making us believe we simply don't have time to sit down for a proper meal first thing in the morning. We'll explore: How capitalism turned breakfast into a rushed, processed, grab-and-go affair. Why the patriarchy has made skipping breakfast feel like a virtue. The lingering impact of diet culture (remember THAT Special K diet?). Why a slow, nourishing breakfast is more than just about food If you're stuck in the cycle of coffee-fuelled mornings and exhaustion by 10am, this episode is for you. Let's challenge the systems that got us here and re-claim breakfast – even if it's just for 10 minutes a day.

How we eat and who we eat with has a powerful influence on what we eat. Eating with friends and loved ones can have benefits that lead to making healthier food choices.Connect With Each Other and With Yourself Mealtimes are a good time to connect, talk about your day, or take a moment to relax and reflect. Put away phones, turn off the TV and minimize other distractions to help focus on the present moment and the meal. Being in the moment can also allow you to listen to hunger and fullness cues better and can help avoid overeating.Family Friendly Meals and Snacks Make healthy food choices an everyday pattern for all. Offer a variety of foods or ingredients at meals and snack time, and highlight new and different foods as an exciting addition to the meal. If children are present, include them in the food preparation process. Knowing how to prepare food is a wonderful skill to have, and children can start learning by helping with simple tasks! Some easy jobs children can do include choosing recipes, helping with grocery shopping, washing fruits and vegetables, stirring pots, throwing away trash and scraps, and putting food on the table or back in the refrigerator. By being included in the cooking process, children are more likely to want to eat the food they helped make.Mealtimes Are Better Together Making an effort to eat most of your meals with others may be a challenge with busy schedules or if you live alone. Research shows that sharing meals with others may reduce the risk of poor nutrition and health-related illnesses, help to reduce skipped meals and increased snacking by allowing for accountability, and provide a more enjoyable meal experience. Have fun with meals together and try adding interesting twists with ideas like meal themes and “ingredient highlights”.Connect with those around you and make healthier choices together!Recipe of the month: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzcWzU6UrS0&t=15s

Hey Mumma, Family mealtime doesn't have to be complicated! In fact it should be a time of the day we all enjoy yet so many of us are stuck dreading dinner time because we either have to make different food for everyone, are dealing with picky eaters, engaging in power struggles and usually ending up with someone having a meltdown. Today on the podcast I am joined by Jason Levee, a registered dietician from New York, who is passionate about family nutrition, and we are chatting all things when it comes to simplifying and enjoying family mealtime again no matter what difficulties you might be facing at dinner.   Connect with Jason : https://wholefamilyhealth.co/

Guest: Gillian Boudreau, PhD - Join Erin and Dr. Boudreau to discuss the intricacies of the psychosocial component of pediatric feeding disorders and how a caregiver's relationship with food can impact the overall dynamics of mealtime. Dr. Boudreau and Erin dive into the neurobiology of safety to help guide our understanding of what a child and caregiver truly need. We hope this episode helps you take a step back and better understand the importance of relationships and how the intimacy of eating can play a large role in how those relationships play out at mealtime.

Mealtime habits are the center of our relationships, which we can use to deepen belonging and to intentionally bless others. ____COMMUNITY Pastor John Perrine continues our series: HabitsWant to watch the whole service? https://youtu.be/5Q1bWldjG40____Learn more: https://www.communitychristian.org/Watch LIVE: https://live.communityonline.tv/(Sundays at 7:30a, 9a, & 10:30a  CST)Sign up for the Bible Reading Plan: https://www.communitychristian.org/resources/bible/Join a small group: https://www.communitychristian.org/connectGive: https://www.givenow.cc____#Habits

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg and I talk about...     3:02 - The combination of a child who loves eating and a mom's anxiety about how much she is eating can be tricky.   4:04 - Strategies for slowing down mealtimes to build your child's ability for "tuning into their belly" versus just enjoying the taste of the food.   5:29 - What types and methods of restrictions are appropriate and which ones do you want to try to avoid.   10:42 - Understanding what is your job as a parent and what is your child's job, from the division of responsibility principles from Ellyn Satter's work.   12:14 - Limiting foods that are highly enhanced to make the flavors so rewarding that hunger/fullness cues are easily drowned out by the desire for more dopamine hits.   16:51 - Zoom out and look at meals of the week versus each individual meal.   17:44 - If your child does eat too much and feels uncomfortable from being too full, that can help them learn too.       REFERENCES AND RELATED RESOURCES:
