These 4 habits are done because we think it’s “saving money” but we don’t know that they are harmful to our health. There are many people who still do them.
The SOHA website has compiled 4 behaviors that are harmful to health. But that many people still do today, as follows:
- Free plastic bag collection from supermarkets
You may have seen many people, especially the elderly, collecting free plastic bags from the supermarket and bringing them home. They think that these bags are durable, can be used to store leftover food or replace the food bags that have to be bought.
But you should know that plastic bags from supermarkets are not a good choice for long-term use because they are often made of PE materials that are not heat-resistant and may react with food, especially hot food or oil. Therefore, you should stop using plastic bags from supermarkets because they are not as economical as many people think.
2. Collection of disposable chopsticks
On days when you are too lazy to cook, ordering food out has become an option for many people. And of course, when ordering food, disposable chopsticks often come with the โปรโมชั่น ufabet food. Many restaurants often give an extra pair or two of chopsticks, and these chopsticks are often kept with the thought that they will be used for the next time, until the habit of collecting used chopsticks develops.
Although collecting seems convenient, it is actually not worth it. Disposable chopsticks are often made from leftover wood and require chemicals such as bleach and sulfur to make them white. This not only makes the chopsticks unsafe, but also increases health risks, especially chopsticks produced in substandard factories. Therefore, it is hoped that the habit of collecting used chopsticks should be stopped and its use should be limited as much as possible.
- Using a pan with a peeling non-stick coating
After a long period of use, the non-stick coating on the pan will start to peel off. However, many people continue to use it. Thinking that the pan is still in good condition and does not need to be replaced. However, the truth is that this is not the case. Cracks and peeling coatings not only cause the pan to lose its non-stick properties, but they may also be released and contaminated with food during cooking, which may pose a health hazard to the whole family.
So don’t think “the pan is still usable” when you find signs of damage, especially when the non-stick coating starts to peel off. You should say goodbye to the old pan.
4.Using a moldy wooden cutting board
Many people have the habit of saving money, thinking that when a wooden cutting board gets moldy. They can just wash it with hot water and continue to use it. But in fact, this method cannot destroy the remaining mold and bacteria. And if you continue to use the cutting board to cut food, these bacteria will contaminate the food and enter the body. Which risks causing digestive and health diseases.
So don’t do it just to save a few tens of baht and risk your health. Saving is good, but health must be the most important thing.
