While eating out or ordering food might seem like the easiest option, consistent intake of convenience foods can take a large toll on your health and mood. However, there are many reasons to cook at home and they go far beyond just the health benefits!  \nCooking at home can actually lead to lower monthly food bills. Did you know the average cost for a “cheeseburger meal” at a fast food joint costs approximately $6.00-7. 00? Alternatively, you can meal prep a salad for lunch with bagged salad, green peppers, cherry tomatoes, rotisserie chicken, salad dressing, and a side of whole grain crackers for approximately $3.50 per serving. This change alone could save you around $850 per year! Furthermore, cooking at home allows you to look ahead at deals being offered at local grocery stores. You can then use more affordable ingredients to make larger batches, which can be frozen for future meals, saving both time and money!  \nHowever, one of the largest benefits to cooking meals at home is that YOU get total control of what ingredients are  \ngoing into YOUR food. It is no secret that fast food and restaurant meals are higher in chemical additives, artificial dyes, preservatives, potential carcinogens, sugar, sodium, unhealthy fats, etc. The portion sizes when eating out are also typically larger than needed, leading to an increase in total caloric intake. All of this can have a significant negative impact on your overall physical and mental health.  \nThat said, cooking at home does not have to be complicated. The easiest way to think about eating a “healthy diet” is to eat food as close as possible to the way nature made it. Replace processed foods with whole foods with a focus on lean proteins, whole grains, fruits, and veggies. You do not have to spend hours in the kitchen creating extravagant meals. The simplest meals are often the tastiest. Check out the “Recipe Roundup” on page 3 for some yummy, whole food based-meal ideas!  \nRemember, if you do not take time foryour wellness, you will need to make time for your illness. Focus on cooking more meals at home this fall. Both your mind and body will thank you!  \nFocus On Fitness  \nFall Fitness  \nWith the cooler temperatures and beautiful scenery, the fall weather offers great opportunities to get outside and incorporate exercise! From hiking and walking, to bike riding, or even yard work… there are many benefits of fall exercise.  \nFirst, the temperatures. The cooler weather can make outdoor activities more enjoyable compared to the heat and humidity of summer. With fall also comes colorful foliage, which can provide a stunning backdrop on walks, hikes, and bike rides!  \nAnother benefit is outdoor fall exercise can also improve your mood! Even in colder weather, exercise will still release endorphins. These endorphins can help fight off any oncoming seasonal blues.  \nA third benefit to staying active is it helps to improve your immune system. You will thank yourself when the cold and flu season approaches!  \nLastly, of course, burning off some extra calories! During this time of year, it is a common tradition to make a day trip to an apple orchard or pumpkin patch. Adding extra exercise can help you to maintain your weight and still enjoy a sweet fall treat!  \n6140 Rashelle Drive, Flint, MI 48507 | P: 810-262-2330 | F: 810-235-2721  \nNutrition Notes  \nby Myckayla Myers, RDN  \nPr","cbCaiarQq2tXCh1A","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiarQq2tXCh1A","pdf",843698,"English","# Inside this issue\n## Cooking at Home\n## Focus on Fitness\n## Nutrition Notes\n## Spotlight on Success\n## Hip Happenings\n## Recipe Round-up","[{\"question\":\"Why does cooking at home help with weight management?\",\"answer\":\"Cooking at home can reduce exposure to additives and larger restaurant portions while increasing control over ingredients, which supports physical and mental well-being.
