The Coronavirus outbreak has left people in a gazillion doubts pertaining to health and sanity, one of the most common ones being whether the virus can be transmitted via anything other than air, like food! “Can we catch COVID-19 by eating fresh fruits and vegetables?” is what you’ll often hear people asking health experts. The answer is simple - if you aren’t taking precautions conveyed time and again by health workers and WHO, there are chances you may catch a virus even from farm produce! The CDC, FDA, as well as WHO still say that fruits and vegetables cannot possibly be the routes of transmission of Coronavirus. But even though the food item you’re buying would not have the virus inside it, it is highly likely that its surface bears the virus via an infected person’s cough, sneeze, or touch, where it can survive for about 4 to 10 hours. However, that is still no reason to panic! It’s very easy to rid your veggies of Coronavirus by taking necessary precautions before and after touching it. Here are some simple steps you must follow:

Plastic has become such a common part of our life that we barely notice its presence anymore. It’s everywhere around us. Every one of us has owned or still owns a lunch box that is made out of plastic. We hear about plastic being so bad for us as well as the planet and how it should be used as less as possible. We believe in it and even try to do our part by avoiding plastic and choosing more eco-friendly options. But one thing that we never even realize or stop to consider the fact that it is the same plastic that we store our food every day and then hours later eat that food without a second thought. It has been our daily routine since forever, and we follow it mindlessly. Every time we have a little leftover food, our first instinct is to put it in a plastic box with the lid on and shove it inside the fridge for hours altogether until we decide to heat it and eat it the next day. But the thing is that the plastic in our lunch boxes much like any other plastic can be very harmful to us. The plastic food storage jars and containers affect our food in extreme yet unperceivable ways. But first things first. Why is plastic considered harmful? We all have heard it since early school years that plastic is non-biodegradable and thus very bad for the environment. As far as our health is concerned, it goes much deeper than that. There are different qualities available in the case of plastic. And based on this quality level you can determine their safety. But the fact of the matter is that plastic releases chemicals such as BPA (bisphenol A) and PVC (polyvinyl chloride). When you store your food in plastic containers naturally these chemicals are released into your food. When you later eat that food, these chemicals enter your body and cause serious damage to it including altering your hormone levels dangerously. These things happen with your body on a daily basis. Every day that you eat your food out of a plastic lunch box or a plastic storage container, your body is exposed to these chemicals and their harmful effects. But it happens at such a slow rate and in such a subtle manner that we are unable to notice any major difference and thus remain blissfully ignorant. Today there are many plastic containers available who claim to be microwave safe. They are cheap and get your work done so obviously we choose them. But the truth is that no matter how safe a plastic container claims to be it is going to pose a threat to your health. Your food and your health can never be completely safe as long as you are using a plastic container. We have such a busy life and hectic schedule that we do not have time to consider these things. As long as a health issue does not cripple us, we are okay with it. The only time we stop to make a change is when we receive a huge medical bill. But what if there was a way to avoid these harmful consequences altogether? What if we told you that by making one small change in your kitchen you can get a healthier life and never have to worry about these issues? Allo brings this solution to you.

By now we all must have heard of the presence of plastic in our food and how it is so bad for our health as well as our environment. But in reality how many of us actually take it seriously and make some effort to change it. The answer might even surprise you. The facts state that humans have produced over 8 billion tons of plastic since the 1950s and less than 10 percent of that quantity has been recycled. And since that time, this plastic has broken down into tiny microparticles and has contaminated the water bodies, our environment, and even our food. This plastic is all around us, literally as well as figuratively. Did you know that you breathe in tens of thousands of these plastic microfibres every year? And that is not just all. The scariest part is that you ingest these particles on a daily basis. You may find it hard to believe but it does happen. A recent study conducted in Australia found that on average, people consume about 5 grams of plastic every week. This amount is roughly equivalent to that of a credit card. But where does this plastic come from? This might surprise you but the majority of this plastic you eat every day comes from your lunchbox itself. We wrap our food and place it inside our lunchboxes to protect it from outside contamination. But in reality, the lunchbox and wrappings itself contaminate it. Even when we buy food from outside, it is always wrapped in plastic. This plastic reacts with your food and leaks chemicals like phthalates and bisphenol A into the food. These chemicals are extremely harmful to the body. They can interfere with the hormones and result in a number of health issues, most of which are chronic and very hard to cure. Another chemical called styrene is also sometimes found in food. This chemical is released into the food mainly from the plastic wrappings. It can cause nervous system problems, hearing loss, and even cancer. This is inevitable. No matter how much you take care of your plastic lunch box or storage container, it is going to release chemicals and microplastics into your food and make it unhealthy and unsafe for you. The most popular tips given by experts to avoid this situation is to avoid the use of plastics as much as possible. Many of us will find it hard to follow and understandably so because plastic has become such an important and practical part of our life. It is all around us and is one of the most convenient and commonly used materials in day to day life. But what if we tell you there was a way through which you can replace your plastic kitchenware without any inconvenience and move to a healthier and safer option? It is possible now. You can get rid of plastic and move on to a healthier option. The glass containers for kitchen storage and glass containers with lids are the perfect option for you. Glass has been a trusted leading material of the food packing and storage industry for a very long time. It is known to be inert and non-reactive with food and thus the perfect option to keep your food safe and healthy.

When we think of a tiffin box, most of us see the same image in our mind – a bright shiny plastic box with your lunch in it. That is the lunch box most of us had our entire childhood and probably still do. It has become a norm of the day and nobody wonders about it anymore. They have become one of the most commonly used things in our kitchen. Whatever the situation may be, to simply pack lunch or to store your leftovers, plastic lunch boxes seem like the answer. But the fact remains that those plastic tiffin boxes are extremely harmful to us, and it is high time we stop using them. Here are five reasons why you should stop using those plastic tiffin boxes right away. They are toxic All of us know this fact to some extent but simply choose to ignore it. But the truth remains that plastic is dangerous. Your plastic lunch boxes release toxic chemicals like BPA, PVS, and phthalates into the food stored in them. Those chemicals when ingested cause us to have serious health issues like cancer, blood pressure, hormonal issues, or even a heart attack. Safe plastic lunch boxes are a myth. No plastic no matter how safe it claims to be is harmful to your health and releases these chemicals. Not eco-friendly This is also something that we have always known. Plastic is non-biodegradable and very bad for the environment. We all hear about saying no to plastic and recycling. It is high time we start implementing that. It can be with a very small and simple step by getting rid of our plastic lunch boxes. We can switch to better options and do our little part in saving the environment. They cause obesity There is so much plastic around us that it is now literally in everything around us. Almost all the food we eat has some amount of plastic in it. It enters our bodies every day. And many studies say that it can lead to major health problems like obesity. This has a lot of side effects and invites even more health problems which start a slowly intensifying chain reaction until your health starts to spiral down completely. Do not keep your lunch fresh How many times have you opened your plastic lunch box at lunchtime and found something fresh and hot and tasty to eat it? Never. Because that is what your plastic lunch box does to your food. It releases chemical compounds into it, which takes the deliciousness out of it as well as its freshness. Consequently, it also takes all the fun out of a lunchtime. A better option is available Plastic may highly toxic and not serve any good purpose but it was all there was if you needed a stylish and cool lunch box. So it was all you could use. But now there is a new option available - a glass lunchbox. A glass tiffin box keeps your food safe and free from chemicals. It does not react with your food or let any outside component react with it. As a result, your food is fresh and hot until lunchtime when you use an airtight glass lunch box. There are also microwavable glass containers available where you can reheat your leftovers in the microwave without much hassle. You can bake your favorite food in the oven and even store your food in the freezer.
