Home cooking

As a Holistic Health Advisor, my goals is to inspire people to eat more at home to cook. Over time I have to go home and raise the percentage of food that I cook with, and I have experienced the benefits. Here are some of the often overlooked benefits of eating at home.

1. Find out what you eat

The most obvious advantage of preparing your own food is that you know what's inside. Did you know that people consume 50% more calories, fat,and sodium when eating out? I also think that heavy meals in restaurants for things like rice and pasta, vegetables and light. It 'hard to get your days worth of vegetables when dining out.

I find that if I eat foods that tend to be less healthy. Restaurants to tempt us with french fries, pizza, bread and cakes. It 's also much easier to eat in restaurants too, because the portion sizes are usually much larger than what we need at home. (If Would you like to eat, you can order salads and split a main course with the person you are with - ask for a doggy bag and half the food away before you start eating too much. o)

2. Save

I noticed that I can save a lot of money by eating more home-cooked food. This is true even if I buy high quality organic fruits, vegetables and meat. In our house we used to spend $ 100 a week for food for 2 people. This is usually enough> Food for all our meals for the week. We would probably spend more than twice that amount if we ate all our meals, and we find that the problem is relatively inexpensive to eat in restaurants. I thought, $ 2 for breakfast, $ 6 for lunch and $ 8 for dinner. Multiply that times 2 (for 2 persons), and 7, and the total is $ 224th Now I know that most people do not eat out every meal, but it shows how much you can save by cooking your own food.

3. Get your dose of vitamin"L"

The benefits of eating home-cooked food calories to go on diet, and save money. I know you've all heard the saying "you are what you eat" and I think there is some truth to this. Once you've cooked a meal with friends and were so impressed by how the food tastes? I had this experience last week when I cook a great success according to my friend Lisa. We had fun cooking could love you to select the ingredients that we do, and then sat down and enjoyed a deliciousMeal. I think one reason the food tasted so good that was done with love. Before you laugh, think back to eat the famous chicken soup your grandmother's (or other traditional dishes). The soup was the best thing you've ever had and even after hours, is never as good as if your Grandma has had. Once again, they put a lot of love in their kitchen.

Do you think the same goes for food restaurant? Have you ever been inKitchen of a busy restaurant? What you will probably find is a group, stressed-out cooks tired to run busy preparing food. If you think that the idea of "you are what you eat, you want the stressful conditions of eating cooked food or food made with love ?

Be inspired!

Do not get me wrong, it's a time and a place to eat. Going out to eat can be a wonderful relaxing experience. I would like to prepare but are inspiredmost of your food at home. If you like pizza, you make a pizza. If you like steak, a good steak place with some beautiful vegetables and salad.
