The truth of microwaves may surprise you! Microwaves have had a weird reputation for a long time, but the reality is a lot less dramatic than people think.

They use non-ionizing radiation, which means they are not damaging your DNA or turning your food into something unsafe. When you use them correctly, they are considered perfectly safe. The bigger issue is not the microwave itself, it is how you are using it.

Heating food in plastic, even the kind labeled “microwave-safe,” can cause chemicals and microplastics to leach into your food. That is where things start to get a little less safe.

At the same time, microwaving can actually help preserve nutrients because it cooks food quickly and does not require much water. So it is not all bad.

If you are going to use a microwave, stick to glass or ceramic, avoid plastic, and make sure you are heating your food evenly.

At the end of the day, this is not something to stress over. Your overall habits with eating whole foods matter a lot more than one appliance in your kitchen🌱 Want to check out our full article? Link in bio!

Let’s talk about GLP-1s…
Here at the Paleo Diet, we are rooted in science and research that dates back over 10,000 years to our ancestors. When we bring something new into our lifestyles, whether that is a medicine or a dietary trend, we take on a risk of not knowing what the long term effects will be on our health. Sure, we love to see people taking care of themselves and eating more natural, nutrient dense foods, but is more medicine the solution? Especially when we really don’t know how it may change us. What do you think?
