想让孩子养成良好饮食习惯?在家吃饭
Research has shown that just eating together as a family can improve children's nutritional health. In families who shared at least three meals a week, children were 24 percent more likely to be eating healthy foods than those in families who ate few or no meals together. The children were also 12 percent less likely to be overweight, 20 percent less likely to eat unhealthy foods and 35 percent less likely to engage in dangerous weight-loss efforts like purging, taking diet pills and laxatives, or vomiting.
研究表明,一家人一起吃饭能增进孩子的营养健康。一周三次或以上,就能看出效果。
Although the researchers don't know for sure why family meals are so effective, they note that homemade meals are typically lower calorie. Plus, eating together lets adults model good behavior and intervene when behaviors threaten to become bad habits.
这也许是因为家庭聚餐热量更低,或者因为此时成人能塑造良好饮食行为。
Those family meals shouldn't include the television, however. That's because children who regularly watch TV during meals have unhealthier diets. In one study, for example, children whose families rarely or never turned on the TV during family meals were less likely to eat chips, soda and other junk foods.
这种家庭聚餐中不能看电视。吃饭很少看电视的孩子吃垃圾食品的概率更低。
Making dinner time a family event, even if the meal is something simple, encourages a healthy attitude toward eating.
把一家人共餐当成家庭中的一件事去做吧。
