00:00If you're genuinely asking, can cooking heal us, then you probably haven't had a pint of ice cream
00:05after a heartbreak, or a slice of pizza the morning after. How can one forget Julia Roberts
00:10mending her broken heart while she ate her way through Italy? If Hollywood films are not proven
00:15of that food feeds the soul, then take it from a study from the University of Otago in New Zealand,
00:21which concluded that the act of cooking and the ability to prepare food is in itself a sacred act.
00:27The required attention to detail allows us to easily block out distractions that may cause stress
00:32and anxiety throughout the day. Of course, other activities can provide similar feelings of
00:37satisfaction, but I doubt they can deliver more comfort than the aromas and flavors one's cooking
00:43does. Don't take my word for it. The HuffPost says experts argue that eating food cooked by oneself
00:49will help our bodies function better on a biological level. Cooking is therapy, a cheaper one, a tastier
00:56one, and a long-lasting one.
