Home Cooking Day

An unofficial holiday appeared at the initiative of social network users not so long ago. Humans started cooking 1.8-2.3 million years ago. Today Cooking is the art, science, and discipline of preparing and presenting food. Just two generations ago, preparing meals was as much a part of life as eating.

Preparing healthy meals at home can support your immune system and reduce the risk of illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, and diabetes. It can give you more energy, improve how you sleep at night, and help you better manage health problems.

A study in 160 adults examined whether eating healthy foods prepared at home affects your emotions. Researchers found people who cooked more reported more intense positive feelings and worried less compared to those who had more meals away from home.
