MICROWAVE OVEN AND REFRIGERATOR

In a Microwave oven, the food does not come in contact with sunshine or Air. Also
the microwave technology destroys the molecular structure of the food to heat it
and hence nutrients are lost.
Avoid/ Lower the use of Refrigerator
In a Refrigerator, the food does not come in contact with sunshine or Air. This
view is also backed by Centre for Drug Research Institute, CDRI, Lucknow.
How Refrigerator works – Refrigerator uses a refrigerant (a fluid) to remove heat
from inside the refrigerator to keep vegetables cool. The refrigerant is essentially
Chloro-Fluro-Carbons (CFCs). CFCs are a mixture of 12 gases. Any chemistry student
will tell you that Chlorine; Fluorine & CO2 are deadly poisonous gases. (We
all know that CO2 is poisonous, so we have a mechanism to exhale CO2 out of
the body, if we force CO2 in our body, death is certain. These high pressure gases
are so intense that they penetrate into the food even if we have placed our food
closed in metal containers. The CFC’s are also responsible for greenhouse effect.
The Refrigerator was invented mainly to
– Store meat in Europe/ Americas as the temperature variation in the western
countries is around 40 to 60 degrees (sometimes even more depending on geographic
location).
– To preserve allopathic medicine used extensively by Army.

Refrigerator is not needed for our environment; we in India have the luxury to consume
our food the moment it is plucked from the tree/plant.Also consuming food
that is +/- 3 degrees from our body temperature can cause cramps & cancer… Usage
of earthen pots for drinking water as opposed to a refrigerator would be excellent
as it only reduces the water temp to an acceptable range.
If you cannot get rid of the refrigerator at least make sure that the cooked (heated)
food placed in the refrigerator once is not reheated before use – You can use it after
48 mins of lying outside.
A more realistic approach is to minimize the use of refrigerators at home. And
hopefully there might be a day in the future when the idea of getting rid of the refrigerator
might not be that far-fetched.
