It makes people happy
Outdoor cooking is an aid to happiness – precisely because it takes place outdoors. There have been studies that have shown the links between being outside and better mental health.
Fresh air, natural light and sunshine are good for us, and outdoor cooking provides exposure to all three. You don’t even have to be the person operating the BBQ – you will still reap the benefits by just sitting back on your Lifestyle garden furniture and waiting to be served.
It is sociable
Most people invite friends or family over when they are having a BBQ, which turns it into a social activity. This helps to keep those bonds strong, providing people with a source of emotional support. Laughter has been proven to make us feel better too, and summer BBQs usually feature a lot of it.
It is creative
