Eating two homemade meals per day lowers the risk of developing type 2 diabetes according to recent research from the American Heart Association. Researchers found that individuals who ate a homemade lunch and dinner everyday had a 13 per cent lower risk when compared to individuals who ate fewer than six homemade meals each week. The research team used data from nearly 58,000 women and over 41,000 men, however they did not have enough information to include any possible benefits of eating a homemade breakfast.
