Benefits of Family Meals - Family Meals Don't Have to Be So Bland

Wed, 05 Oct 2011 18:28:50 +0000

- These days family time is a rare commodity.... With all the demands on our schedules and our children's social calendars, dinner time sometimes turns into the 'zone out' or TV time. It doesn't have to. Create memories for your families - big or small. Let's all find ways to harness the joy of these fleeting moments we get to share with our loved ones before they're gone!
  
  One of our product partners has a fantastic article that resonates with us and we felt it would do the same with you!

  There are not many things better for a family than to simply have meals together. Families, especially kids, benefit enormously from frequent positive family meals:
  1. Improves family communication
  2. Improves nutrition and eating habits
  3. Improves literacy development among preschoolers
  4. Develops a protective factor for adolescents against tobacco, alcohol, drugs and low grade point averages
  Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine 2004 Study: "Correlations between family meals and psychosocial well-being among adolescents."
  
  The more meals your family has together, the more you'll enjoy these amazing benefits! And remember, keep the meals positive, lighthearted and fun.
  
  More specifically, according to research by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University, children and teens who have frequent family meals:
  - Are at half the risk for substance abuse compared to teens who dine with their families infrequently
  - Are less likely to have friends or classmates who use illicit drugs or abuse prescription drugs
  - Have lower levels of tension and stress at home
  - Are more likely to say that their parents are proud of them
  - Are likelier to say they can confide in their parents
  - Are likelier to get better grades in school
  - Are more likely to be emotionally content and have positive peer relationships
  - Have healthier eating habits
  - Are at lower risk for thoughts of suicide
  - Are less likely to try marijuana or have friends who use marijuana
  Benefits of Active Play:
  - When kids are active, their bodies can do things they want and need them to do. Why? Because regular exercise provides these benefits:
    - Strong muscles & bones
    - Weight control
    - Decreased risk of developing type 2 diabetes
    - Better sleep
    - A better outlook on life
    - Healthy physically active kids also are more likely to beacademically motivated, alert, and successful. And physical competence builds self-esteem at every age.

Responsible Sourcing

Sustainability and Social Responsibility

Beyond the sourcing of ethically produced, quality raw materials, our Principles of Purity oblige us to encourage programs and practices that promote sustainability and social responsibility. These efforts also allow us to create a sphere of influence that extends far past the boundaries of Gaia Farm meaningful meetings between, and bringing greater vitality to, plants and people around the world.

Certified Organic Farmers
From our neighbors in the hills and valleys of Western North Carolina to the rainforests of Indonesia or foothills of the Himalayas, our Certified Organic Farmers provide us with nearly 35% of our raw materials annually – herbs that can only reach their peak when grown in their natural habitat.

Many of the relationships we have with our Certified Organic Farmers are long-term and closely knit. We reach out and support them with ongoing training and consultation in organic farming methods, while helping to preserve the unique ways of life in their communities by offering fair market prices and promoting culturally sensitive practices.

Land Steward Harvesters
Our Land Steward Harvesters are a network of ecologically sensitive wildcrafters who gather native herbs grown naturally in forests, fields and other wilderness biogregions. Through these efforts they help supply us with close to 25% of our raw materials each year.

In the same manner in which we foster close relationships with our Certified Organic Farmers, we work with our Land Steward Harvesters to steward the land from which they harvest their herbs – upholding practices that maintain and protect these habitats for both the plants and the people who harvest them.

Validated Partners
In instances where we don’t have direct relationships with local harvesters or growers for certain herbs, our trusted wholesalers and brokers with connections to farmers and wildcrafters around the world, help supply us with nearly 15% of our herbs each year.

Purity+Integrity=Potency

How we proceed is as important as what we produce.

Our process is defined by the equation “Purity + Integrity = Potency.” These are the pillars that support our beliefs, our actions, and our commitment to providing herbal remedies that offer optimal vitality.

Purity
Each herb must be cultivated in accordance with Nature’s intent.

Integrity
As we create herbal medicines, we must ensure the fullest possible expression of each herb.

Potency
It is only through our dedication to purity and integrity that we can deliver the powerful effects of each herb.
