\u2026 that\u2019s what this study says<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Might as well be up front: we eat at home Sunday-Thursday night; we share the cooking duties, though I do most of it and love doing it. Truth telling time: I barely did a thing in the kitchen for the first 28 yrs of our marriage so I\u2019m still way behind.<\/p>\n

For those of you who use your stove for shoe storage,\u00a0nota bene<\/em>: all that wasted time with an inactive kitchen could be shortening your lifespan. In fact,\u00a0a new study found<\/a>\u00a0that people who cook up to five times a week were 47 percent more likely to still be alive after 10 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has become clear that cooking is a healthy behavior,\u201d said lead author Professor Mark Wahlqvist in a statement. \u201cIt deserves a place in life-long education, public health policy, urban planning and household economics.\u201d<\/p>\n

The research team, made up of Taiwanese and Australian researchers, published their work in\u00a0Public Health Nutrition<\/em>, a Cambridge University journal after looking at a group of 1,888 men and women over age 65 who lived in Taiwan. At the start of the study, they interviewed each participant about several lifestyle factors, including cooking habits, household circumstances, shopping habits, diet, education, transportation and smoking.<\/p>\n

During the initial survey, researchers found that 43 percent of participants never cooked, while 17 percent cooked one to two times per week, 9 percent cooked three to five times in a week and 31 percent cooked five or more times a week.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
