Cooking is an often overlooked but integral element of overall health and well-being. According to research by Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health research, "people who frequently cook meals at home eat healthier and consume fewer calories than those who cook less," and a study by the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found that home-cooked dinners were associated with greater dietary guideline compliance. Learning to cook delicious and healthy meals at home also aids in intuitive eating, which is associated with both lower BMI and better psychological health according to a review by Public Health Nutrition.
