Episode Synopsis

COVID-19 pandemic causes mental health crisis in Americas, says WHO official recently. And Mayo Clinic told us mental health disorders including anxiety and depression, can worsen during the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, do you know you can cook up your mental well-being? An article on Psychologytoday.com says that cooking is meditation with the promise of a good meal afterward. And the very process of cooking can nourish your psychological well-being.

Today we are learning to make a super simple baking recipe, healthy banana muffins, which is a proper one to get yourself started if you have no baking experience before. Let’s get started.

Your host Charlie Wang, based in Toronto Canada, is the founder of this podcast show. His father is a stroke survivor.

He started this podcast, because he wanted to help people with the knowledge of healthy food to avoid what had happened to his father and his friend. He hopes you will all be healthy, and have healthy relationships and better lives because you and your family are all physically healthy, and eating better.

Feel free to post what you would like him NOT to talk about, and what you cooked yesterday. Or email to [email protected].
