You may think that eating at home is too much of a hassle. After all, you still need to prepare all the ingredients, and cooking good food might not be your idea of a fun time.
But recent study shows that cooking food at home can be a way to combat the sugar spikes that can contribute to diabetes, among other benefits. Instead of driving down to a restaurant and ordering that delicious steak, you can make a significant change in your life by staying and making home made food. You can look forward to reducing your weight, busting high blood pressure and diabetes.
Almost 30 million Americans, or 9% of the population, have diabetes. The wide rage of the majority of these conditions involve type 2, which grows when the body can no longer take care of the excess sugar in the daily intake of food.
As per Medical News Today, being heavier than average or obese is an essential prompt for type 2 diabetes, and according to the experts at the American Heart Association in a conference at Orlando, Florida, one of the ways to fight obesity and diabetes is to cook more foods at home.
Geng Zong, from the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health announced at a news meeting explaining the outcomes they know that eating out is related to lower diet condition, and increased rate in obesity in young adolescents, as well as insulin tolerance and high triglyceride levels.
Cooking foods at home, says Zong, wards off many of processed ingredients and undesirable fats that restaurants and fast food chains counts on so heavily. The study consists of information from the Nurses Health Study and Health Professionals Follow-Up Study that asked 99,000 men and women about their lunch and dinner eating habits over more than three decades. Those who answered eating about two of the meals at home per day on average had a 13% reduced risk of acquiring diabetes compared to those who had less than six homemade meals per week.
Zong said that the conclusion recommends that preparing more foods at home may be a first means in reducing the hazards of diabetes, and if home cooking isn't always achievable, at least try not to prefer fast food. To make that attainable, he admits that commercial food businesses must also support to make meals not just available but healthier too.
