We all know about the benefits of eating properly for our physical health, but food—and cooking it—is proving to be good for our mental health as well. Some people are now advocating the healthful value of cooking food. It􀆳s not just about the end result but the experience someone goes through. Dr Mark Salter, a consultant psychiatrist, told the BBC, “Baking and cooking are good ways to help patients develop planning skills, short⁃term memory and social skills—all of which suffer in mental illness.” TV chef and author Nadiya Hussain also agrees that cooking is great for improving our mind. She says, “Baking is always about healing ... It􀆳s never really been only about getting a cake.” And she thinks that baking is an important tool for our socialization and mental health.  Certainly, creating some delicious food has helped some of us get through hard times. It has given us something to do and helped take our mind off annoying things. People say that kneading dough (揉面团) to make bread, for example, has given them a sense of calm and control. Research has shown that doing creative tasks, like cooking, makes us feel happier. Nicole Farmer, who studies how food impacts our biology, behaviour and mental health, says, “Cooking represents the shared human experience of food, and nurturing people through food, so I think that􀆳s an opportunity for immediate positive emotions, which benefit our mental health.” Of course, cooking can be a very sociable activity and a rewarding experience. Hopefully, as we start to mix with friends and family again, we can enjoy the benefits once more and put us all in the right frame of mind. 本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是烹饪的好处。 1.What is the function of the first paragraph?
