It's no secret: Families who eat dinner together eat better. The more parents know about health and nutrition, the more healthful are their children's diets. Studies suggest:
CHILDREN: Kids who eat dinner with their families eat more fruits and vegetables and less fat, soda and fried foods. They also get more fiber, vitamins and minerals and tend to eat more healthy even away from home.
ADULTS: Women who eat out at least five meals a week consume more calories and fat than women who dine at home, eating 2,059 calories versus 1,769 calories per day. They often consume a larger proportion of their calories as fat, 35 versus 31 percent.
WHY THE DIFFERENCE? The dinner table shapes good eating habits and homemade meals tend to be more wholesome than restaurant or takeout foods. They are usually lower in fat and contain more vitamins and minerals. When families eat together, healthy eating is often a topic of conversation, and the lessons learned can have lasting impact.
