Hi fellow Hiveians,
Today I wanted to appreciate the addition of some kitchen tech to our arsenal!
Ozone for Cleaning Food and Health
When it comes to keeping ourselves healthy and free of toxins, there are so many things that we can do. The beauty of the day that we live in today is that there is so much incredible technology available to us, that hasn't been available to people even a few decades ago.
This also means that there is a lot of technology and things out there that are not good for us, which is why we have to try to do our best to find things that help but also don't break the bank. This is one of those such devices!
Ozone is one of the best ways to kill things that we don't want. It's one of the reasons that it's got a layer of the stuff up in the upper atmosphere! It protects the Earth with these incredible properties. It kills viruses, bacteria, pathogens, mold among many others and is used in many industries all around the world from food to cleaning because of these wonderful properties. source
It is also a very efficient and inexpensive way to do these types of cleaning without needing to use all kinds of nasty chemicals. It's becoming more popular in the health sphere of late, because of the advances in technology that allow it to come at a much more affordable price than before. The direction of using less chemicals for us, is a huge component of why we eventually made the investment in one!
What we've done is start to use this on any of the produce that we get from the farm or the store, with some limits. There are some situations where it's really not possible to add the vegetables or fruit to this such as watermelon or pineapple, but for many others we do.
It also worked out that my wife got a container last year that we use to fill up with water and cleaned our fruits and veggies. We would use vinegar with it before and that definitely works as well, but the challenge with that is sometimes the foods would absorb the vinegar flavor and that's not always pleasant! The little man is not a fan of vinegar tasting strawberries lol.
The nice thing about the tray and the Ozone Bubbler, as it's called, is that I can fill it up with some water, add whatever we need to in there and turn it on. For cleaning fruits and vegetables, they recommend that we put it on for 10 minutes. This allows the water to get nicely full of Ozone and kills the nasty stuff at the same time.
The company, Therasage, has been one I've heard about for a little bit but ended up losing sight of them. We found it again earlier this year with a podcast that I started to listen to and I dove right in, knowing that we also talked about wanting to invest in an ozone generator. It felt like it was meant to be that I heard it when I did!
The good thing about it as well is they claim that Ozone also breaks down and destroys the chemicals that are sprayed on food like pesticides and things like that. I don't know the science behind that yet, but I plan to look into that in the coming weeks to make sure I understand what it does and how to make sure it's effective. Even if it breaks the stuff down and reduces it's behavior by 50% I would be happy! They spray some nasty shit on the food that we get these days, so anything we can do to reduce the chemical burden is huge.
We've had the Bubbler for a few weeks now and I use it every time we get. They say we can also add this device to a bath if we take one, but we have to make sure to be careful. Ozone is a toxic substance at certain concentrations so you have to be careful and this one here wouldn't kill you, but it would cause irritation. My wife has been hesitant to use it in the bath just yet so we are going to have it be used by me first. I don't normally take baths but I do that in the fall or wintertime so it will be a little bit before we give it a whirl.
With other ozone generators, they have a lot of ways in which it can be harmful to people but the most important part is that the quantity of ozone is variable. This can be helpful in the right scenario but this particular device we have is limited to a maximum amount of ozone where it's effective but not deadly. There are some ozone devices that are used on an industrial scale to kill things like mold and is extremely toxic.
If you're interested in seeing if you'd like one of them yourself, the link below is where to get the Bubbler! I am going to be posting an update in a few months but so far so good, we love it!
