Boost your health and well-being by making these surprisingly simple tweaks without breaking the bank.
From refrigerator to countertop, a well-organised kitchen is the first step to better overall health. Begin with these 10 easy changes that will make living a healthier lifestyle so much easier to achieve.
TO AVOID FOOD POISONING
1 Stick a “wash your hands” sign on the fridge. Seeing a written reminder makes you much more likely to wash your hands at important moments when you’re preparing a meal, which can help to prevent food poisoning. But the drying process is just as important to prevent lingering bacteria transferring to other surfaces, so dry your hands thoroughly using a paper towel.
2 Fill a drawer with clean tea towels. This makes it easier to reach for a clean, dry one, which matters because damp tea towels are a breeding ground for germs. It’s one reason why 60 per cent of tea towels fail the hygiene test, with some even “growing” E coli bacteria. Experts recommend replacing tea towels after every use, but 21 per cent of us use the same one for a week or more.
