Why Cook at Home – Nutritionist’s Advice
Preparing this dish at home brings enormous benefits for your health and that of your entire family. Unlike ready-made foods from the store, which are often overloaded with hidden sugars, preservatives, and unhealthy trans fats, the homemade version gives you complete control over the ingredients.
Benefits of home cooking:
Eggplant is rich in antioxidants, especially anthocyanins, which support heart health and have anti-inflammatory properties. The fiber in eggplant aids digestion and provides a feeling of satiety.
Ground beef provides high-quality proteins and iron, while tomato sauce is a natural source of lycopene – a powerful antioxidant.
The cream mousse made from sour cream contains beneficial probiotics for gut health, and dill and parsley are rich in vitamins A, C, and K.
Hidden dangers in ready-made foods:
Industrial ready-made dishes often contain:
Excess sugars – even in savory foods to enhance flavor
Trans fats and hydrogenated oils for longer shelf life
Preservatives and artificial flavor enhancers
High sodium content – sometimes up to 3 times more than recommended
When you cook at home, you choose quality ingredients, control the amount of salt and oils, and care for your family’s balanced nutrition. This is an investment in long-term health that pays off every day!
