That's what I tell my friends when they try to drag me along. The Chiros
work well for people with certain types of injuries.

LOL!!! They certainly take an overall 'holistic' approach to just about
everything!!

Family Dinner = Less Drug Use!

Research in the past has shown that the more often a family eats together,
the less likely a teenage child is to smoke, drink or use illegal drugs.
Plus, they tend to do better academically.

A survey published by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse
at Columbia University has revealed regular family dinners produce
benefits that stretch beyond those obtained at the dinner table. A
University of Minnesota study even found that families who eat together
are less likely to have children who suffer from eating disorders.

But with dance lessons, practice, homework and the demands of a career and
a long commute, sitting down together for an evening meal can be a
challenge. Here are some tips:
Pick a Meal

It doesn't have to be dinner. Turns out the positive effects are not
limited to the evening meal.
Snack Strategically

If your child is hungry at 5 p.m. but dinner is scheduled for 7 p.m.,
offer a protein snack to tide him or her over.
Plan Menus

Design an entire week’s worth of meals in advance. Reduce stress by having
the ingredients you need in advance.
Prep Ahead

If you have time in the morning, use it to wash and trim the vegetables
you plan to cook or thaw the meat you intend to cook that evening.
Think Fast

Many nutritious meals can be stir-fried or broiled, two speedy ways to
cook quickly. Save meals that are more elaborate for weekends.
No TV

Keep this time sacred. Share stories and the highlights of your day
without the distraction of the news.

Given that frequent family dinners have such a positive influence on
children, find ways to make this a habit in your family. “What was the
best thing that happened to you today?”
