Eating home-cooked meals means that you are gonna adhere to DASH and Mediterranean diets, will be on bigger fruit and vegetable intakes and have better antioxidant consumption.

Frequent consumption of home-cooked meals was related to a higher chance of getting a lower BMI and reduced body fat. Some studies reported that homecooked food is associated with normal HbA1c, and reduced cholesterol levels thereby preventing cardiovascular diseases in long run.  

Those who consume home medium meals 5 times, compared with 3 times per week, were 28% less overweight and had a less proportion of body fat

In a big population-based cohort study, consumption of homecooked meals was related to higher dietary quality and lower fattiness. More prospective studies are needed to spot whether or not the consumption of homecooked meals has causative effects on diet and health.

The prevalence of diet-related non-communicable diseases (NCDs), like type II Diabetes Mellitus, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers, is increasing steadily worldwide.

These changes are in the course of a decrease in the time spent on self-care, hugely relying on readymade food due to work-life imbalances, and changing lifestyles in the majority of developed countries. Concern has been expressed by health practitioners and researchers in the field of food and nutrition concerning a perceived decline in a change of lifestyle habits that have been hypothesized to be coupled to the rise in diet-related NCDs
