Are you sacrificing your health for a modern convenience?
Sure, microwaves may seem like a quick and easy solution to cook or heat your food, but healthier cooking methods arenโt that much slower. Plus, by choosing a cooking method that is better for you, youโll cultivate a love for the ritual of cooking and quickly become a wiz at it. On top of mastering new cooking skills, your body will benefit from the energy and vitality present in a freshly cooked meal. Not convinced? Hereโs more about why microwaves have no place anywhere near your food.
How Microwaves Work
Microwaves are essentially radiation bombarding your food and producing heat through causing the water molecules inside to violently vibrate at extremely high frequencies.
Unlike a conventional oven, the microwave environment itself is not actually hot. You can feel this for yourself after the โdingโ. Itโs the water contentย inย food that is heating up the rest of the food and as water is not evenly dispersed in food, that is why the heating in microwaved food is uneven. If there is no water present, the food will not be heated but remain cool – a term dubbed โelectrical whiplash.โ
What Microwaves Do to Your Food
Zap Food Nutrition
Due to unsustainable farming practices, use of pesticides and soil depletion, our soils sadly lack nutrients, hence so does our food.ย So now, more than ever, we need to be ensuring proper nutrient intake from fresh foodsย preparedย right.
If you use a microwave, what may have started as a nutritious plate of food has now devolved intoย โdead food.โย The microwave emits a wide range of emf radiation that bounce around the inside of the machine and are absorbed into the food, destroying the nutritional content of your meal. Theย pranaย (life-force) has been stripped away.
Nutrients are lost and often what survives has become โinactiveโ – meaning that your body is not able to access the nutrients remaining.
Studies have shown that:
- Up toย 40% of B12ย is lost from beef, pork and milk.
- Vitamin C is reducedย in asparagus.
- Highly medicinal alliinase inย garlicย isย inactivated.
- The powerful bacteria-fighting agents in breast milk areย destroyed.
Doesnโt sound appetising at all, does it?
Alters the Molecular Structure
Microwave high emf (Electro-Magnetic Frequencies)ย create molecular friction which forcefully distorts and deforms the structure of the water molecules in food.
After you ingest the food the same thing happens to your bodyโs cells which creates a perfect environment for pathogens. You are what you eat, and after eating microwaved milk and vegetables,ย one studyย found a dramatic decrease in the levels of white and red blood cells and haemoglobin (the oxygen transport in blood).
The specific gigahertz frequency of radiation emitted by microwave ovens immediately affects the bodyโsย heart rate. If you experience irregular heartbeat or any chest pain and regularly eat microwaved food, it might be best to stop โnukingโ your food.
Causes Cancer
Plastic and paper containers used to heat microwave mealsย have been foundย to leach carcinogenic chemicals (BPA, PET, benzene, toluene and xylene) along with other harmful toxins into your food which is then absorbed by your body.
Even without plastic there isย evidenceย that the altered molecular structure can have toxic effects on your DNA and lead to cancer. These geno-toxic effects can be the cause of unexplained headaches, anxiety, dizziness, vertigo, brain fog, depression, nausea, vision problems, tooth and jaw aching or constant thirst.
Becomes Tamasic
Ayurveda considers microwaved foodsย tamasicย or that which causes inertia. The lack of life force makes the food heavy, typically causing depression, sluggishness and fatigue. The altered molecular structure of the food confuses the bodyโs intelligence causing cancer, brain fog, autoimmune disease and host of other issues. After the food becomes heavy it will turn to undigested food materialย (ama)ย which will lodge in a vulnerable channel or tissue in the body and initiate the disease process.
