Our eating patterns have changed over the past 40 years and the rule of three meals a day has been abandoned by many. However, planning meals and snack times, and not skipping breakfast are healthy steps we can take to reduce the risk of diabetes, heart disease and obesity. Researchers at New York’s Columbia University have demonstrated that when and how often we eat is as important as what we eat.

The authors of this study recommend intentional eating and planning meals times and content “to combat emotional eating.”
