‘Slow poison’ hidden in your kitchen, are you eating plastic anywhere?

It may sound strange and scary, but it is true. We and you are eating small plastic particles (microplastics) every week, inadvertently with our food. These particles are so small that they do not appear with the eyes, but they work like ‘slow poison’ in the body and can cause many serious diseases.

The biggest surprising thing is that this plastic is not getting from outside, but in our own kitchen. Some of our habits and some common things kept in the kitchen are responsible for this.

Let us know where this hidden enemy is in your kitchen and how can it be avoided.

1. Plastic cans and utensils
This is the biggest source. We often keep the remaining food, lentils or vegetables in plastic cans and keep them in the fridge. And make the biggest mistake when the food in the same plastic box is heated in the microwave. As soon as it becomes hot, dangerous chemical and microplastic from plastic are broken and found in food.

• What to do: Plastic compartments place Glass Or Stainless Steel Use utensils. They are safe to heat and also for health.

2. Non-Stick Pans
The non-stick griddle or pan in almost every house looks very convenient from above, but when its layer scratches, it becomes extremely dangerous. When scratched, plastic particles come out of its teflon coating and start getting into our food.

• What to do: Stop the use of scratched non-stick pan immediately. Instead Iron (Cast Iron), Steel Or Clay Use utensils.

3. Plastic Chopping Boards
When we cut the vegetables with a knife on the plastic chopping board, very small plastic particles are cut off and stick to the vegetables and we do not even know.

• What to do: Plastic place Wooden Or Bamboo (Bamboo) Use the chopping board of. These are a better option for health.

4. Plastic water bottles
We keep using water bottles again and again. When these bottles come in contact with sunlight or heat, chemical and particles dissolve in water, which we drink.

• What to do: Plastic bottles place Steel, Copper Or Glass Use a bottle of.

5. Plastic Wraps and Bags
It is also dangerous to use plastic rap to cover food or bring warm samosas in plastic bags. They also leave chemical in food as soon as they get in contact with heat.
