Don’t keep your fridge empty or overfilled
Being a food hoarder can be quite bad for both mental and physical health, as it can spoil and then the fungi can affect other foods as well. On the other hand, an empty fridge can give you the sensation that you have nothing to eat and make you feel poor, which is another factor that can adversely affect your peace of mind and mental health. So, in this case, you have to find a balance between these two extremities and throw away things that you won’t eat and keep the ones that you definitely want to try in the near future.
In fact, if you want to reduce your energy bill and have a refrigerator that will last for a lifetime, it is important to make sure that you won’t keep it full of forgotten foods that can block the air vents, air flow and reduce the energy efficiency. Anyway, experts say to keep a fridge two-thirds full.
You should never store pre-cut fruits or veggie
One of the most common mistakes that people make is storing pre-cut fruit and veggies in their fridge. Of course, we should eat more vitamins, but cutting them and then storing them in the fridge may not be as healthy as you think.
According to health experts, some fruits and vegetables can lose some nutrients when you cut and then cool them. Moreover, they can deteriorate faster, as more surface area is exposed. However, if you want to avoid this and enjoy more fruits and veggies, all you have to do is to wash them properly, put them in the fridge, but cut them only when you are ready to consume them. Otherwise, you risk throwing away some good vitamins.
