Are Microwaves Safe? What Are Some Alternatives?

Apr 19, 2023

How do microwaves work?

  • Microwaves use high-frequency radio waves to cook your food
  • The waves are absorbed by materials containing water, like your food, and the energy is converted into heat
  • Waves cause molecules in the food to vibrate, creating energy and heat

Why should you consider an alternative?

  • Nutrients in your food are zapped through the heating process
  • Carcinogens can be created in your food due to microwaves
  • Your blood makeup can be altered
  • B12 is shifted to an inactive form

Why is B12 important?

  • The B12 molecule is degraded during microwave heating
  • B12 is important to keep your body’s blood and nerve cells healthy by forming RBCs and DNA!

Do you microwave animal meat, fish, or eggs? These foods are high in B12 and can be degraded when microwaved. Consider using an alternative to consume as many nutrients as possible

  • Air Fryer
  • Stovetop
  • Food Steamers

  • Conventional Oven
