Food is Life, Healthy Cooking is Bae!
I like to think cooking is a performing art. I just love the way the ingredients of various kinds combine together to bring out something beautiful that we eat. It is not just about eating but finding nourishment and feeding our bodies with the right things.
I find cooking as a low-stress activity as it gives me the opportunity to reflect on what is happening with and around me. It is also a chance sometimes to have a light bulb moment in my work as I am a PhD student; there have been times in this pandemic season that I have has some Aha ideas to help me continue writing my work.
What we eat has a huge impact on how we feel – both physically and emotionally. Also, how do we cut through the confusion about what and how we should eat comes up a lot?
In current times, it is never been more important to eat a balanced diet and support your physical and mental wellbeing. The first step in helping you take control of your health is by understanding the impact of good nutrition, which will enable you to feel energised and make the right decisions about the food you choose, despite changes to your usual routine.
Food is fuel! Try some colourful dishes today and do not forget to share with your friends and family.
