Question

【题目】

A recent study suggests that teenagers who turn off the TV and sit down to family meals are less likely to suffer eating disorders. The study has connected eating together with lower rates of bulimia and anorexia. The meanings of bulimia and anorexia are eating too much, or eating at wrong times too often or eating very little. Besides, the study shows that teens who are used to eating round the table are less likely to take up smoking to lose weight.

Researcher Barbara said, “In many people’s opinion, teenagers don’t want to be around their parents very much, and they are too busy with their studies and spend more time with their friends.”

The study shows happy families have teenagers who eat with their parents often. These teens have less bad diet or dangerous eating habits. “For most parents, it is difficult to get their families together around the table seven days a week. But if they can prepare three family meals a week，it will be good for their children’s health,” Professor Fiese spoke out after reviewing 17 studies on eating ways and nutrition of almost 200,000 children and teenagers. She has found that teens who eat at least five meals a week with their families are 35% less likely to be “disordered eaters”. Even three family meals a week helped, with youngsters 12% less likely to be overweight than those who ate with their families less often. They were also 24% more likely to eat healthy foods and have healthy eating habits than those who didn’t share three meals with their families.

“Teens can also use family meals as a time to get their thoughts across,” Professor Fiese said, “Family meals give them a place where they can go regularly to check in with their parents and express themselves freely.”
