HABITS THAT CAUSE DISEASES THAT WE DO IN EVERYDAY LIFE
It is necessary to pay attention to habits that steal our energy and health from us. You can protect yourself against diseases by strengthening the immune system by changing our daily habits.
Antalya Akdeniz Faculty Member of the Department of Food Hygiene and Technology Prof. Dr. pointed out that with the increase of chemical materials in contact with food today, chemical threats in the kitchen are getting ahead of biological threats. Professor pointed out that the increase in direct contact with chemicals causes infertility and most advanced cancers, as well as a number of endocrine system diseases such as diabetes, obesity, thyroid dysfunction.
“Practical household appliances such as kettles, microwaves should not be used if possible,” Prof. said, advising not to use plastic materials in the kitchen during the preparation phase after shopping. Because their internal materials are generally plastic in nature and penetrate more into food due to heating.
Stating that the stage when chemicals are first transported to the kitchen is the shopping stage, Prof. suggested that healthier packaging should be preferred instead of Turkish foods in contact with plastic in grocery stores in Turkey. Teflon is also very dangerous again, especially when they are scratched, very harmful chemicals are released, and these are endocrine disruptors,” he said.
Thin and plastic materials used in the packaging of the chemicals that are used to harden today, noting that the most common toxic substances in human blood, the Lightning, “in today’s climate essential nutrients is cheap, easy to transport, than due to the lack of fracture risk, are stored in plastics. However, we can start by choosing foods that do not come into contact with plastics at points where we prefer, to the extent possible. For example, instead of oils contained in cans or plastic bottles, we can prefer oils stored in glass bottles, as well as milk and water stored in glass.
The use of too many sachets is also a big risk. In grocery stores, sundays, there is still a transition when you put food in a bag in such a way that it comes into direct contact with it. It’s healthier to use cloth bags,” he said.

Because their internal materials are generally plastic in nature and penetrate more into food due to heating. Although some plastic containers are sold with different names in the market, they are ultimately plastic. They are preferred because they are covered, do not break, keep them fresh. Teflon is also very dangerous again, especially when they are scratched, very harmful chemicals are released, and these are endocrine disruptors,” he said.
“There is a craze associated with the use of detergents and disinfectants. But cleanliness is water and soap, cleanliness is cleanliness in its simplest form. Getting all over with detergent is not cleaning. The more detergents you use, the more you need to rinse. Because it is not rinsed, there is a certain amount of detergent residue taken every day, although in small amounts, constant exposure to these chemicals disrupts the endocrine system in the long run.
When such chemicals enter the body, they affect pregnant women who are at the top of the risk group in society. They cause a number of developmental deficiencies, IQ problems and genital organ abnormalities in the nervous and reproductive organs of the unborn baby (especially in male babies), while at an advanced age they lead to the formation of diabetes, obesity, cancer and chronic metabolic diseases.”
