In recent times one of the biggest controversies in the kitchen world is What is better to cook? Or buy? For us there is an undoubted champion in this food fight, and that is that although buying the food already prepared saves us a couple of hours in the kitchen, hours that we can spend resting, studying or working, the vast majority Of these foods that we usually buy already prepared such as pizzas, hamburgers, hot dogs, among other processed foods, they are not really food for our body, and in such case they do not contain even half of the nutrients that we can provide the food that we ourselves can make in our homes, because there really is no point of comparison if on the one hand we talk about properties such as proteins of both animal and vegetable origin, minerals such as sodium, potassium, iron and calcium, as well as carbohydrates and fiber, while on the other side we have saturated fat and excess salinity in our food, in addition to products processed with different chemicals that promise to be natural.
Many people defend ultra-processed foods, saying that it is better for your pocket because they can save some money, but in reality this is a myth, because if you take the time to go to the market and compare the prices and the foods, you You will realize that it can actually be much cheaper per month to make your own food than to buy it, and if not, the variation will be very minimal, but ask yourself this, is it really worth risking your health, exposing yourself to suffer diseases such as obesity and hypertension to save a few pennies ?.
