During the heat of summer, many of us prefer a nice salad filled with green veggies, rather than heating the stove or patio grill. Here are some tips which might help improve the safety of the greens you eat:
- Cook your greens until wilted. This will kill harmful bacteria, but it’s a solution only for sturdier greens, such as spinach, kale, collards, and Swiss chard.
- Consider buying whole-head lettuce. Whole heads of lettuce, not labeled “washed”, don’t necessarily have lower bacteria levels than packaged greens, but their inner leaves aren’t exposed to as many sources of contamination and are not handled as much as greens that are bagged, which further reduces the opportunities for contamination.
- Keep packaged lettuce cold and eat it soon. As you would with meat and poultry, don’t let bagged lettuce stay out of the fridge for too long, because bacteria multiply at room temperature.
- Consider buying hydroponic or Greenhouse-Grown greens. These are less likely to be contaminated by bacteria from animal droppings in soil or water, although they’re not risk-free.
Six important health tips: - Never take your medicine with cold water.
- Don’t eat heavy meals after 8 PM.
- Drink more water in the morning, less at night.
- Best sleeping time is from 10PM until 4 AM.
- Don’t lie down immediately after taking a meal.
- Answer phone calls using your left ear.
