Home-cooked food is better than readymade, restaurant food
Every day, the average number of meals people eat at home is declining. The trend of eating out is growing more than ever. With a huge variety of readymade, restaurant food available instantly, a majority of us have adapted to this change very happily. But when we compare home cooked food with restaurant meals, the winner will always be a warm, home cooked meal.
Meals cooked at home are healthy. They are cooked in a simplistic manner and are easily digestible. The freedom to choose your own Ingredients, replace the unhealthy ingredients with healthier substitutes and still maintaining the delicious taste and consistency is only available at our own homes. Home cooked meals have lower calories, less sugar and less fat. And all of these benefits without compromising on the taste and deliciousness of the meal.
It is a myth that home cooked food consumes a lot of time and energy. Most meals can be prepared in less than an hour. Although readymade meals don’t consume any time or energy, the impact that they have on our health as well as wallets is not worth it. From a basic rice dish to an elaborate spread, anything can be prepared at home. In fact, a restaurant usually has a limited menu while it is easily possible to cook any meal at home, without restrictions.
Food from restaurants might seem quick and appetizing today, but in the longer run, it will only leave a hole in your pocket and your health. Home cooked meals, on the other hand, are everything you want them to be: healthy, delicious and affordable.
