	One of the first things you can do is eat together as a family, according to U of M epidemiology professor, Dianne Neumark-Sztainer. Working with her students at the U of M, Dr. Neumark-Sztainer and her research team discovered that healthy eating habits (especially for teens) can come from sharing meals at home. Suppertime is the right time for teens to socialize with family members. Parents have the opportunity to teach their kids communication skills, manners, nutrition, and good eating habits. School and work schedules make it difficult for families to eat together. Still, Dr. Neumark-Sztainer says, the effort is worth it. She advises families to take small steps toward increasing the frequency of family meals and not to get discouraged. Her research shows that family meals can play a major role in preventing eating disorders, especially in adolescent girls. Dr. Neumark-Sztainer also found in her research that teens who eat more frequently with their families have better diets, engage in fewer eating disorder behaviors, use less tobacco, alcohol and marijuana, have better grades in school, have higher self-esteem, and exhibit fewer depressive symptoms and suicide tendencies.
