But did you know that eating outdoors actually offers some physical and mental benefits that you can’t get from dining inside? Keep reading to learn more and visit our patio to test it out for yourself!
Less Stress
Studies show that spending even a little bit of time outdoors every day can lower your heartrate and blood pressure. Eating outside with friends and family can promote happier conversations and more presence with others.
Improved Focus
Speaking of more presence with others, dining outside can make it easier to pay attention to conversations, improving listening and comprehension. You may even find that a break for a meal outside helps you remember details from work you did earlier in the day, as your brain takes time to relax and process events in a new environment.
Boost Your Mood
Did you know being indoors all day increases your risk for anxiety and depression? Spending time outside can boost your Vitamin D levels, naturally increasing your mood in addition to the previous two benefits. All of these combined can leave you feeling refreshed and uplifted by the time your meal is done.
Sleep Better
Being outside is a great way to help you regulate your sleep cycle. Eating breakfast or lunch outdoors can stave off any lingering tiredness, while eating out at night can help your body ease into its bedtime routine. These benefits combined with a full meal can help you sleep better when the time comes.
These are just a few of the many benefits that can be gained by eating outdoors. Cafe Dantorels has spent time making sure that all of our dining spaces are comfortable and welcoming, and our outdoor space is no exception. Stop by and enjoy a meal on our patio and enjoy the added benefits of the fresh air and warm breeze.
