According to a recent survey by OnePoll, cooking may be a calming experience for many, but cooking healthier foods brings it full circle by encouraging better overall health. The survey found that eight out of 10 people who regularly cook use food as a way to comfort themselves following a stressful day, with 65% reporting that they will use food as a way to comfort others.

This suggests that cooking can be an effective coping mechanism for managing stress, particularly when it comes to work-related stress, as 40% of respondents identified work as their primary source of stress.

The survey also found that 89% of respondents prioritized mental health when it comes to cooking, with 78% reporting that cooking itself is a calming activity.

In fact, cooking topped the list of all possible stress-relieving activities at a whopping 65%. These findings highlight the need for effective coping mechanisms, such as cooking a meal at home, to manage stress and promote overall well-being.
