732 - What role does nutrition play in cooking?

Nutrition plays a big role in cooking because it helps make the food we eat healthy and tasty. When we cook, we need to think about what our bodies need to stay healthy, like vitamins, minerals, and energy.

Imagine cooking as building a fort. You need strong blocks (like proteins, fruits, and vegetables) to make the fort strong and healthy. If you only use weak blocks (like too much sugar and salt), the fort won't be as strong. That's why nutrition is important in cooking - to make sure we build healthy and strong bodies.
