To be healthy, your body needs to get enough vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. Eating healthy means getting plenty of: Vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk products. Seafood, lean meats and poultry, eggs, beans, peas, seeds, and nuts. Cooking at home will help you to live a longer and healthier life. Despite the benefits of cooking, a recent study found that cooki
ng is so stressful that the benefits are overpowered by increased stress levels and feelings of failure. Now, feeling like a failure just because your cooking isn’t up to s***f sounds like a serious issue to me. The stress of cooking is so great that, despite knowing better, we still eat out an average of 4.4 times per week and consume meals that are absolute calorie bombs. This all sounds depressing but fortunately there is a silver lining. Not only does science tell us what we’re doing wrong, it also tells us how to have fun cooking. As someone who has regularly cooked for myself for some time now, I’m here to let you know that not only is cooking one of the most natural things you can do, it can also be incredibly relaxing, exhilarating, and yes, even fun.
