时差N小时 职场父母如何兼职事业与家庭(下)

The study found that when mom or dad experience high levels of work related stress, their families are eating one-and-a-half fewer family meals per week, and the parents themselves report eating fewer fruits and vegetables, more fast food, and are less likely to eat breakfast regularly.

研究发现，当父母都承受高强度的工作压力时，他们的家庭每周的用餐量会减少一顿半，而父母们自己也表示水果蔬菜会吃得更少，快餐吃得更多并且很少能够按时吃早餐。

It’s worth noting that the study looked mainly at low income families who belonged to ethnic¹ or minority groups, so the findings don’t necessarily apply directly to other types of families. But the implications are wide ranging.

值得注意的是，这项研究主要针对的是少数族裔或少数群体的低收入家庭，因此研究结论并不一定适用于其他家庭。但该项研究的影响却是深远的。

When it comes to family nutrition, the researchers say, the entire family, not just moms, plays a role even kids. Teaching kids, especially teenagers, to help with grocery shopping and to cook actual meals, instead of just popping a frozen pizza in the microwave, could be an important piece of the puzzle in helping² families improve their eating habits.

提到家庭饮食健康，研究人员称，除了母亲之外，其他家庭成员（包括孩子）也在饮食健康方面起着一定作用。在改善家庭饮食习惯方面，教育孩子也不可忽视，尤其是引导青少年去杂货店购物并学着做饭，而不是让他们直接将凉披萨扔到微波炉里加热。
