People who Eat Healthier Home and Longevity

In an age which is too busy, rarely encountered people who want to cook at home. Buy food outside is more practical and varied, but not necessarily healthy. One study found that people who frequently eat at home more longevity than people who do a lot of snacks outside.

Combined scientists from Monash University, National Defense Medical Centre in Taiwan and National Health Research Institutes in Taiwan trying to find the effect of home for healthy eating. The result found that people who eat at least 5 times a week the house has a 47% greater chance to live longer.

The research was conducted for 10 years to see the living habits of people in Taiwan who were 65 years and over. Of all participants, 31% of whom claimed to prepare their own meals at home at least 5 times a week. A total of 17% cooked no more than 2 times a week and 9% of the cooking at home 3-5 times per week. The remaining 43% claimed never to eat at home.

When follow-up study 10 years later, researchers found that participants who were alive were mostly more often cook their own food at home. Researchers speculate that this practice is a significant factor for health and longevity.

"Participants are more likely to cook have a better diet. We found these people have the knowledge and better understanding about nutrition than those who do not cook their own meals at home," said the researcher, Professor Emeritus Mark Wahlqvist of Monash University as reported Official site Monas University, Monash.

According to prof Mark, cooking is an activity that requires mental and physical health is good. Cooked food at home is obviously more healthy and clear nutritional content. Not only that, the cooking itself also has another benefit from buying groceries, preparing food and eating as most company of other people.

"We found that people who cook have a better diet and nutrition gets more useful. Therefore, it may be associated with longevity cook by choice and quality of food served," said Mark prof.

The results also showed that women who cook the food in a household to live longer than her male partner. This suggests that more women get the health benefits of cooking for others.
