Cooking at home allows you to control the ingredients and portion sizes your family consumes. This is important to help you stay healthy by maintaining your weight and reducing risk of health problems suchs as diabetes and heart disease.
Cooking at home also saves money, and can create an opportunity to teach your family members about healthy eating. It may seem overwhelming at first to know where to start. Try to commit to cooking one healthy meal at home each week and build up from there. Healthy eating doesn't mean you have to change all your habits at once. Small changes can lead to building lifelong healthy habits.
