Thanks For asking me question
Explanation:
1. You control the ingredients
Probably the most obvious benefit of cooking your own food is that you know exactly what you’re putting in your body. “This can be vital for people with food allergies, intolerances, or other dietary restrictions,” says Kara Lydon, RD, LDN, RYT, owner of Kara Lydon Nutrition and author of Nourish Your Namaste. That means skipping playing 21 questions with your waiter or triple-checking the ingredients list on every packaged snack in your grocery cart for gluten.
It leads to more balanced eating
According to scientific studies, people eat more mindful portions when they make their own food. “At restaurants, we can’t control the portions that are served to us and more often than not, they are larger than what we might serve at home,” Lydon says. “If you struggle with that desire to clean your plate, you might find that you’re uncomfortably full after a meal out versus eating at home where you can serve a portion that will help you reach a comfortable level of fullness.”
3. You focus on what you’re eating more
“Eating at home often comes with fewer distractions and thus a greater ability to turn inward to check with your satiety and satisfaction cues to know when to stop eating,” Lydon says. Yet another reason why it discourages overeating.
4. You eat a wider variety of food
One study found that French adults who cooked at home ate a greater variety of foods than those who primarily ate out. As any RD will tell you, having a varied diet results in eating a greater range of nutrients (because no one food contains everything you need!) and can lead to overall better health.
