Mental Health Benefits of Cooking Your Own Meals


From: Verywell Mind

April 29, 2022


It isn't uncommon to hear the praises of cooking our own meals. Many applaud this practice because it can save money, improve our health, and deepen our cooking skillsets. Yet, despite these benefits, many can find cooking to be a bore.


This is understandable—with cooking comes daunting trips to the grocery store, dirty dishes galore, potentially setting off your home's smoke alarm, and an inedible dish here or there. For these reasons, cooking can be a divided hobby: Some of us love it, and some of us hate it. 


Regardless of which side you're standing with, cooking is clinically proven to support our mental health. If you feel this is unexpected news, don't just take our word for it. Read on to learn about the different ways preparing your meals can boost your mental well-being!


Cooking Supports a Brain-Boosting Diet

Did you know that certain foods can boost your cognitive functioning? A study conducted in 2014 illustrated a connection between poor mental health and unhealthy diets.


It is essential to acknowledge that the term unhealthy diet can be riddled with much stigma and often negates the factors that lead to unhealthy food choices, including a lack of access and poverty.


If you find that fresh whole foods are inaccessible to you, consider checking out your local Community Supported Agriculture organization (CSA). This is an option offering fresh fruits and veggies weekly that are often more affordable than farmers' markets and grocery stores.


In addition, some offer low-cost fruit and veggie boxes to support community members experiencing financial hardship.


Cooking Increases Social Connection

How often does a recipe yield just one serving? It is pretty rare. Food is meant to be shared, and cooking offers an easy excuse to build community. It can be as simple as hitting up your farmer's market and chatting with some of the vendors for recipe ideas.


You could enlist a buddy to experiment in the kitchen with or invite some loved ones over to break bread. Regardless of your choice, there are plenty of routes to social interaction when it comes to food. 


The socialization linked to cooking is grounded in recent research. A 2017 study published in the Health Education & Behavior Journal cites cooking as a great intervention used in therapeutic and rehabilitative settings. If you're not sure where to begin, take a gander at some YouTube tutorials and get to experimenting.


Cooking Boosts Self-Esteem

When our mental health is suffering, it isn't uncommon for how we feel about ourselves to suffer. If we think that our brain isn't functioning correctly, that thought often snowballs into believing that we're unable to do anything correctly.


Nailing a recipe you've been hoping to perfect can bolster your self-esteem significantly. Even if it is as simple as a three-ingredient pasta dish (noodles, butter, parmesan – voila!), cooking is clinically proven to be a significant confidence booster. This is because the feeling of creating something tangible that others can enjoy can be very gratifying.


Cooking Can Help You Build a Routine

Routine is so beneficial for our brains that a form of psychotherapy has been formed around it. Interpersonal and social rhythm therapy (IPSRT) is a form of psychotherapy most commonly used with those experiencing bipolar disorder.


This therapy acknowledges how stressful life events and shifts in one's daily routine can trigger mental health concerns—in the case of bipolar disorder; it can contribute to the onset of a depressive or manic episode.

This type of therapy instructs folks to create a schedule of when they go to bed, wake up, and eat, among other daily activities. In following a routine, our circadian rhythm can become balanced.


Cooking Expands Creativity

A recent study states that incorporating creative activities into your daily life can significantly boost moods and overall well-being.


Another study qualifies cooking as a creative activity, going as far as to highlight the connections between cooking and mood improvement. So we can't deny the science—donning your chef hat and courageously exploring your kitchen can lead to feeling better than ever.

Jack had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and his episodes were triggered by his circadian rhythm. He felt daunted by the prospect of managing his condition, but his therapist offered him an intervention that incorporated therapeutic techniques to boost his cognitive abilities. The therapist instructed him to follow a whole food, veggie-based diet and gave him a recipe for a nutritious meal. Jack enlisted the help of a grocery vendor who sold him the ingredients. After he cooked the meal, he invited his therapist to break bread with him, and they applauded his effort. It was a gratifying experience that bolstered his self-esteem, and he felt less riddled with stigma. From that day on, he took his therapist's word for it and followed the rehabilitative plan, yielding tangible results. Voilà, he was on the road to recovery!
