Chapter 12

Home Cooking

There’s no place like home—for nutrition, that is. There is nothing better than a home-cooked meal made from fresh ingredients for your family’s health happiness. If you already enjoy cooking, a change in ingredients is no big deal. But if you rarely set foot in the kitchen, you might need a little convincing. This chapter will help you get started preparing nutritious meals at home for your family.

Benefits of Cooking at Home

Cooking food at home is the single most important thing you can do for your health and the health of your family. When you do the cooking, you have control. You know exactly what everyone is eating. You control the quality and quantity, and you can cook to meet everyone’s needs and preferences.

Cooking at home (meaning from scratch using fresh ingredients—not microwaving a frozen dinner) is fresher, which is a great start to more nutrients. You can maximize nutritional value by the cooking methods you use and by picking quality fresh foods without preservatives. You can also be sure of the cleanliness of the facility.

Eating out is fun, but it gets expensive. Home cooking from raw ingredients is not only healthier, it’s also much cheaper. And you may find that cooking is just as fun as dining out, as well as rewarding and even therapeutic. No one says you need to make a feast fit for a king. There are simple dishes and simple preparations that are easy and satisfying.

Finally, there is no better way to show you care than to cook a healthy meal for your loved ones. It is a nurturing act that creates an enduring legacy. If you cook for your kids, they are more likely to cook for theirs, and so on. Good nutrition is a fantastic family tradition.
