When these foods are stored incorrectly, they not only lose nutrients, but can also generate substances that alter the balance of the body.
Practical tips
- Go through your pantries and reorganize what you have in the fridge.
- Buy smaller amounts to prevent food from spoiling.
- Use paper bags, nets, or ventilated containers.
- Keep food away from moisture and direct light.
- If a food changes in texture, smell or colour, discard it.
Small changes to the way you store your food can have a huge impact on your health. Protecting the natural nutrients in what you eat is one of the simplest and most effective ways to take care of your body and mind every day.
