随着我们长大，和家人围在一起吃饭的时间越来越少。有时候突然想起，这些以前毫不在意的事情，随着岁月的流逝变得稀罕而珍贵，比如跟家人共餐。餐桌之上，跟所爱的人交流想法分享趣闻是一种幸福。更有研究表明，跟家人一起吃饭有助于身体健康。 Teenagers who switch off the TV and sit down to family meals are less likely to suffer eating disorders. A study has credited eating together with lower rates of bulimia and anorexia . Meals are also less likely to be skipped, and kids who are used to eating round the table are less likely to take up smoking to lose weight. Researcher Barbara Fiese said: “The common belief is that teens don’t want to be around their parents very much, and that teens are just too busy for regular meals with the family. “Parents may not be able to get their families together around the table seven days a week, but if they can schedule three family meals a week, they will safeguard their children’s health in great ways.” Professor Fiese has found that teens who eat at least five meals a week with their families are 35 percent less likely to be “disordered eaters.” Even three family meals a week helped, with youngsters 12 percent less likely to be overweight than those who ate with their families less often. |
