Teenagers who sit down to family meals are less likely to be depressed or take risks with drugs and alcohol,new research shows.
A new study looking at the role of family meals in the health and well-being of young people is the first study on the issue in New Zealand.It uses data collected nationally from more than 9,000 secondary school pupils.It finds that those who eat with their families frequently are less likely to report suicidal (自 thoughts,less likely to be smokers and less likely to indulge__in drinking,drugs and so on.It says social changes such as more television channels,more mothers working and cheap fast food have changed the status of the family meal.
However,the good news for New Zealand is that one-third of young people reported sharing meals with their families seven or more times a week and an additional 40 percent shared meals three to six times a week.
