Young adults who take the time to sit down and share a meal with others rather than eating on the run are more likely to have a healthy diet, according to research led by Nicole Larson, a nutrition expert at the University of Minnesota.

Larson surveyed more than 1,600 men and women with an average age of 20 and a half years old.

Larson recommends that young adults schedule time for meals as they do for other important activities. She adds that there is a message for colleges and businesses, as well.
