According to Harvard researchers, there’s a new reason to stay in on weekends: a lower risk of type 2 diabetes. After looking at the cooking habits of more than 99,000 men and women, they found that those who ate eleven to thirteen homemade lunches or dinners per week had a 13 percent lower risk of developing the disease when compared to folks who ate six or fewer homemade meals per week. In fact, each lunch prepared lowered the risk by two percent. Why? Because not only are restaurant meals higher in calories than the average homecooked fare, we also tend to consume larger quantities when we’re eating out. Some experts have even suggested that the fact that home cooked food is made in a low stress environment is a factor, since we tend to eat more moderately when we’re relaxed. |
