Eat together. Have at least one meal with all family members present once a week. Though simple, maintaining weekly meals can be a challenge with children of different ages and working parents. Eat as many meals together as possible.[3] Know that family meals can be entirely casual.
Don’t feel as though a family meal must be formal or special. Emphasize the fact that you’re eating together, and that that’s what matters. Alternate types of food at home or try a new spot if you’re going out.
Have a back-up plan. Don’t expect every family meal to go perfectly. When multiple people are involved, or you are depending on scenarios outside of your control, understand that time spent with family members may not go exactly as planned. Make light of unexpected hiccups in plans, and recall that the point of spending time together is the time together, not the plan.

Exchange daily stories. As soon as you get home, show that you’re excited to reunite with them by immediately speaking with your family members about each other’s day. Ask your family members how their days were, and share a story from your own day with them. Sharing the narratives of our daily lives allows us to be more in tune with our loved ones’ lives.
Seek out younger family members as soon as you get home. Familial companionship means a great amount to children. They will be especially excited to see you (and will likely be the most interested in whatever story you have to tell).
Record stories that one of you find especially interesting or humorous. These recordings will have immense value later in your lives.
Consider telling a story together. StoryCorps is an organization that records conversations - usually between family members cooperatively reflecting on an experience they shared - and stores these recordings in the Library of Congress.[2] There’s even an app for that!

Try mindful eating: “With a range of colorful and tasty foods reminiscent of relaxing in sunny climes, the Med diet and lifestyle is a good way to enjoy your food, decrease your stress and boost your health all at the same time,” says Caroline Hind, a registered nutritional therapist for Vitaminology(opens in new tab).
Top your vitamin intake in the winter months: “We should always ensure nutrient deficiencies don’t cause more serious issues, by taking a high-potency multivitamin and mineral every day,” says Sawyer. “Most of us aren’t lucky enough to live in the Mediterranean, therefore we should take some additional vitamin D even through the summer, as it’s important to our overall health.”
Cook with olive oil: Olive oil is a huge component of the Mediterranean diet and one of the healthiest fats around. Use it in cooking and drizzle it over the top of salads to reap its benefits.
