NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The benefits of sitting down to a family dinner are lost if the television is on during the meal, according to a survey of more than 1,300 low-income families with preschool children.
The survey found that the probability that children were offered at least two fruits or three vegetables each day increased with each night the family ate dinner together. However, the probability of serving fruits or vegetables decreased with each night the TV was on during the family dinner.
"The benefits of eating dinner as a family do not overcome the negative effects of having the television on during dinner," Lynn S. Edmunds, a registered dietitian with the New York State Department of Health, Albany, told Reuters Health.
Parents should "turn the television off during family mealtimes," she advised.
Hispanic and black parents reported having the TV on during dinner more often than white parents, the investigators report in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association. Hispanics and whites ate dinner together more often than black families. Less educated parents also were more apt to have the TV on during the family dinner.
The health benefits of fruits and vegetables are well known; diets high in fruits and vegetables are associated with decreased risk of heart and blood vessel disease as well as certain types of cancer.
"Given that lifelong food preferences are established early in life, it is important for parents to foster mealtime environments that encourage healthful eating," Edmunds said.
It's been shown that children who eat a lot of fruits and vegetables during childhood are apt to maintain this healthy eating pattern into adulthood, she and her colleagues note.
So, by all means, make time to eat as a family, they advise. Just do it without the TV on.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The benefits of sitting down to a family dinner are lost if the television is on during the meal, according to a survey of more than 1,300 low-income families with preschool children.
纽约（路透社健康新闻部）—根据一项对1300个有学龄前儿童的低收入家庭的调查，如果晚饭时开着电视，全家人共享晚餐的好处则荡然无存。
The survey found that the probability that children were offered at least two fruits or three vegetables each day increased with each night the family ate dinner together. However, the probability of serving fruits or vegetables decreased with each night the TV was on during the family dinner.
此项调查发现，当每晚儿童与家人共进晚餐时，他们每天食用至少2份水果或3份蔬菜的可能性提高，然而，如果每晚进餐时开着电视，食用水果或蔬菜的可能性则降低。
"The benefits of eating dinner as a family do not overcome the negative effects of having the television on during dinner," Lynn S. Edmunds, a registered dietitian with the New York State Department of Health, Albany, told Reuters Health.
“全家人共进晚餐所带来的好处抵不过进餐时开着电视所带来的负面影响。”来自奥尔巴尼的纽约州卫生健康部的注册营养师Lynn S. Edmunds告诉路透社记者说。
Parents should "turn the television off during family mealtimes," she advised.
父母应该“在全家进餐时间关掉电视。”她建议道。
Hispanic and black parents reported having the TV on during dinner more often than white parents, the investigators report in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association. Hispanics and whites ate dinner together more often than black families. Less educated parents also were more apt to have the TV on during the family dinner.
调查人员发表在《美国饮食协会杂志》上的报告说，与白人父母相比，西班牙人和黑人父母在晚餐时更经常开着电视；西班牙人和白人比黑人家庭共进晚餐的次数要多；受教育程度低的父母更倾向于全家晚餐时开着电视。
The health benefits of fruits and vegetables are well known; diets high in fruits and vegetables are associated with decreased risk of heart and blood vessel disease as well as certain types of cancer.
水果和蔬菜对健康的好处众所周知，富含水果和蔬菜的饮食与降低心血管疾病以及某些类型的癌症发病风险具有相关性。
