Recently, experts say that it is undesirable to reheat food in a microwave oven. However, there is also the opposite point of view. What do nutritionists say about this?
One part of the experts claims that food heated in the microwave loses its vitamins and beneficial properties. And in other cases, they can even turn into toxic, indigestible by the body. While other experts believe that food from the microwave is healthy, as it allows you to heat food without using oil. In addition, it is convenient, because the time for “get hold of»A hot and hearty lunch or dinner is consumed several times less. RIA Novosti writes about this with reference to nutritionist Pavel Terekhov.
He urged the inhabitants of the country to be attentive to the containers in which the food is placed in the microwave. According to the doctor, only containers made of heat-resistant glass should be used (this is due to the fact that any type of product processing, even cooking, changes the structure of dietary fiber).
Another specialist, nutritionist Elena Motova, shared her opinion on this issue. She stated that the only effect microwaves have on food is the simplest, no different, heating.
“Microwave radiation is not ionizing radiation: that is, it does not knock electrons out of atoms and does not break the nuclei of elements. Microwaves affect our body in the same way as food – the water contained in the tissues will be heated under their influence ”, – summed up the nutritionist.
