One’s health is made in the kitchen, and it is not always about eating nutritious food everything the kitchen space plays an important role. To break it down for you, from kitchen utensils to how often your food is reheated, everything counts.

Here are some simple rules to maintain good health

Reduce plastic
We do our bit and for less or no plastic use and carry paper or cloth bags when we go shopping. But we do the same when it comes to our kitchen space? Switch to bar soaps instead of plastic-packaged liquids for utensil-cleaning, buy in bulk, have reusable containers, use cloth bags for grocery shopping, invest in metal or glass straws, and use steel utensils.

Use of Iron kadhai
Cast iron utensils are known to distribute heat evenly, which means they are best for cooking all types of foods. It is also advisable to cook food in iron vessels as it helps fight iron deficiency anemia, which is a prominent health issue faced by many women and men. Iron gets mixed with the food being cooked, making it a healthy meal. It is also good for health as it uses less oil for cooking.

Heat, don’t microwave
Some foods tend to become toxic when reheated in microwaves as their chemical composition changes. Certain bacteria-prone reheated foods tend to have a higher risk of causing sickness when these bacterial cells survive.
