As the new year draws in, it becomes necessary for one to create time and think about healthy food choices and how such a state can be maintained throughout the dietary engagement. One important way this can be considered is through the stockpiling of nutritionally healthy foods free of chemicals and preservatives.
This post tries to expound on this need to store healthy foods and to give tips on healthy food storing safely and organically.
The Problem with Food Preserved Chemically
Due to the holiday seasons, farmers and business people start buying food in bulk and store it for long periods of time. They may be using some chemical-based preservation or preservatives that may pose serious health issues in the long run.
This can affect our kidneys and liver badly because our kidneys and liver cannot bear this heavy burden of chemicals. So it’s necessary to find other ways for the storage of food instead of chemicals.
Natural Healthy Food Storage Methods
At CNC Smartfood, food is stored without chemicals using a very simple and effective method. Food is put in a nylon bag and then in a PIC bag. This method allows the food to stay fresh for up to a year.
Other ways of storing food naturally include:
- Beans stored in a 25-liter gallon with pepper
- Airtight containers and storage in a deep freezer
Stocking Up on Healthy Food
Aside from storing food naturally, it is also important to stock up on healthy food. Some of the foods I recommend stocking up on include:
These foods are rich in nutrients and can be stored for long periods without spoiling.
