There are lots of things out there to help you eat healthily; not many people know that the freezer is one of these. Indeed, freezing food can help you eat better and get the most out the groceries you buy.
When you buy a floret of broccoli it naturally begins to lose its nutrients. Every hour it sits in your fridge it becomes slightly less beneficial. When you immediately freeze vegetables it locks in those nutrients, ensuring that when you eventually eat them they will be as healthy as possible.
Freezers can also help you avoid some of the pitfalls that can pull you into poor eating habits. Most people eat junk food when they are tired and can't summon the effort to prepare a full meal. Freezers allow you to make meals in advance and freeze them on days when you just can't be bothered to cook, you can thaw one out and have a great meal with a minimum of effort. This way you won't be tempted to eat junk.
Freezers can also allow you to do big shops and freeze the groceries. Once again this makes eating home-cooked food more convenient, reducing the risk that you'll submit to the tempting call of deep-fried food.
So if you are looking to improve your eating habits, it's worth picking up a new fridge freezer - by storing your food in it you'll be able to get the most out of your groceries and dissuade yourself from eating poorly. The freezer is the unlikely hero of the quest for a healthier diet.
