Cultural eating habits play a big role in when we eat and what we eat.

1. Meal Frequency:

• People in Mediterranean countries usually have 3 to 5 meals each day. They aim to keep their portions balanced.
• On the other hand, many Western cultures tend to have 2 or 3 bigger meals. This can sometimes lead to eating too much.

2. Nutrition and Timing:

• Research shows that eating at regular times can help improve our health.
• When people eat at irregular times, they may have a 25% higher chance of becoming overweight.

3. Cultural Practices:

• In many Asian cultures, eating together is important. This communal style can help families try a variety of foods and control their portion sizes better.
