Adults Who Eat At Home With TV Off May Have Lower Likelihood Of Obesity, Study Suggests.

reports that research suggests “adults who never watch TV during family meals and eat mostly home-cooked food are much less likely than others to be obese.” While previous “research has suggested that more frequent family meals are linked to lower obesity,” the new study indicated that “eating at home, rather than out, and without the television on, was tied to lower obesity risk regardless of how often family was present.” The findings were published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-obesity-meals-tv-idUSKBN16928E
