Liver Health: Whenever there is a serious discussion about our health, our liver health is definitely discussed. People believe that excessive oily diet, excessive consumption of alcohol and taking too many medicines affect our liver health. But there are many things that we use on a daily basis which affect our liver health. There are many utensils present in our kitchen whose use gradually weakens our liver. Let us know which are the utensils which affect our health.

non-stick utensils

Nowadays, non-stick utensils are seen in everyone’s kitchen. This is because the food gets cooked in less oil and does not stick. But these utensils have a bad effect on our health. In fact, when non-stick utensils get too hot or get scratched, they release chemicals like PFOA andPTFE into our food. Gradually these chemicals accumulate in our body and have a bad effect on the liver.

According to a research, their long term use can cause diseases like fatty liver. In such a situation, cast iron pan or stainless steel utensils are a better and healthier option instead.

plastic container

To heat or keep food warm, many people store food in plastic containers and later heat it in the microwave. Although this habit of yours gives you convenience, it is very dangerous for your liver health. In fact, when a plastic container is heated, chemicals like BPA and Phthalates can be released from it. These affect hormones and affect the liver. In such a situation, to keep the liver healthy, use glass or steel containers to store food.

aluminum utensils

Aluminum utensils are often found in every Indian home because they are cheap, light and heat up quickly. But these cheap utensils can cost a lot to your health. Because when we cook sour things like tomato, tamarind, lemon in aluminum utensils in our house, microscopic particles of aluminum can dissolve in the food.

In such a situation, aluminum goes into our body and if aluminum accumulates in large amounts in the body, it can weaken the liver’s ability to cleanse itself and with time, serious conditions like liver failure can also occur. Not only this, aluminum can also increase neurological problems.
