Microwaves are a form of a non-ionizing radiation. Thus, the food is zapped by high-frequency waves of heat. This way the microwaves channel the heat into the molecules inside the food. This means that the microwaves use radiation when they cook the food and this can be very harmful to our meals.

Each microwave has around 2.45 billion hertz. However, 10 hertz can harm the human body. Thus, you should never stand near to a microwave while it is working. Plus, there are a lot of diseases and health conditions that are caused by microwaves.

The microwave, as previously mentioned, has an effect on the food that we consume. Some studies have proven that if you prepare food in the microwave, it will kill the flavor of the food and decrease the nutrients. What is more, it will degrade and deform the molecules of the food, thus, creating dangerous unwanted radioactive compounds. Plus, it will destroy the antioxidants in the food as well.

Due to the fact that the microwave exposes you to harmful levels of electromagnetic fields which can penetrate your body and cause health issues, our advice would be to avoid using it. You should instead consider other cooking options, like using a regular oven which would not be that harmful to your health.
