Microwaving is quick and convenient, but did you know these hidden costs?

You lose 30-40% of the nutrients in your vegetables when you microwave them. This study reports a loss of approximately 30-40% of vitamin B12 during microwave heating due to degradation. Microwave heating converts vitamin B12 into biologically inactive degradation products.

Microwave also causes protein to denature, making it harder for you to absorb amino acids.

And not just that, the uneven heating of the food in a microwave causes some parts of the food to be warm, and some parts to be cold, which then becomes a breeding ground for bacteria like listeria, which doesn’t get destroyed easily.

What can you do…? switch to traditional ways of heating your food on a pan, or
use a microwave sparingly with safe lid.
