Teaching good habits to a couple, especially in the transition from adolescence to adulthood is difficult. Even more when we are talking about eating habits. According to researchers from Philadelphia, United States, the best strategy is to make meals with the young - the more and longer the better.

After monitoring for over five years a group of 600 children under 12 years, scientists have shown the beneficial effect on family meals. Those who were five or more meals per week with the family not only acquired the best eating habits and maintained for longer. Besides the more frequent meals, these young people accustomed to a diet richer. Consumed more fruits and vegetables, plus fiber, calcium and minerals.

A previous study had shown that making meals with the family resulted in better academic results and fewer social problems. The records also showed the difficulty of maintaining a natural regularity. At the beginning of the study 60% of participants were in family meals. In the end, after five years, only 30% maintained the habit.

The chief researcher emphasized that the research shows not only beneficial nutritional effects of family meals, but also can assist the transition of young people by this difficult stage of life.
