5 Nontoxic Kitchen Swaps
While the actual foods that we eat are super important to our health and limiting our toxin exposure, it’s also important to be mindful of how we are preparing and storing our foods to make sure that there aren’t chemicals leaching into our food that can be harmful to our health. Toxins present in cookware and plastics have been associated with cancer and are recognized as endocrine disruptors, posing significant health risks.
If you have goals to improve your overall health, prevent disease, and even balance your hormones, lowering your toxin exposure with these simple nontoxic kitchen swaps is a great place to start!
5 Nontoxic kitchen swaps you can make today:
Swap out traditional nonstick cookware for ceramic coated and stainless steel pots and pans to prevent chemicals leaching into your food when you cook.
Swap plastic cooking utensils for bamboo or wood. These are great eco-friendly nontoxic options and when you are using ceramic coated cookware they will not scratch the surface of your pots and pans (very important)!
Swap plastic cutting boards for bamboo or wood. This will prevent plastics from entering your food when you’re chopping veggies and other foods. These options are eco-friendly and nontoxic, plus pretty durable if you use and clean them properly.
Swap plastic containers and bowls for glass. When you put hot foods in plastic containers all the chemicals from the plastics are leaching into your food. It’s super important for food storage to use glass containers and having a set of glass mixing bowls is great as well in case you need to heat something.
Swap plastic bags for reusable silicone stasher bags. These are great for food storage, leftovers, cooking, and more. Plus, they are reusable making them a great alternative to plastic, for us and the planet!
