No doubt in this era of technology, everyone wants something readymade. In other services and food, people are so busy in their daily lives that they don’t have much time to spend on cooking. So they go for readymade options from the food outlets like Subway, KFC, MC Donald’s and Burger King etc. But we all know that outside food is not fair daily. So cooking is essential. We can cook healthy food at home, and along with health, there are numerous benefits of cooking, which help us uplift our mood.
Cooking is an activity that will require your full attention. When you weigh the butter or sugar or when you whisk the eggs, you get calmer. I would even say coking can have that meditative or soothing quality because you get to slow down and focus. You feel much more serene and relaxed. And the good thing is that you can then enjoy the food you prepared with your family and friends.
This goes beyond your stress issue. Studies have shown that cooking can be a therapeutic activity. Even just baking cupcakes or something simple has shown to improve an individual’s mindset. The reason is simple when you cook; you stimulate your senses the feel of new flour you bought at the market, the smell of those fresh strawberries, the sound of the whisk beating, all those things can stimulate your senses, which contributes to get more endorphins, those feel-good hormones that put a smile on your face.
The other reason is that when you focus on the present moment, on your ingredients, you cannot ruminate over your problems, you have to leave them aside. This helps you be more emotionally stronger and as a result, happier in general.
When you spend hours baking a cake, getting the measurements of each ingredient exactly right and preparing your icing to decorate it once it’s baked and cooled down, you start icing your cake and decorate it exactly as you want to. In the end, you feel a strong sense of accomplishment, and when you finally cut into the cake to share it with your family, you can be proud that you were the one who made it. This is a bit like when you get that surge of confidence every time you finish a project and show the results to others.
