    Here's a detailed explanation of what may occur if you consume microwaved food on a
    daily basis:

    Nutritional Impact

    The heating process may reduce some of the nutrients, especially vitamin B12 and
    vitamin C.

    Nutrient loss is largely contingent on cooking time and temperature.

    Water-soluble vitamins are most easily destroyed.

    However, this nutrient loss is comparable to other cooking methods.

    Convenience vs. Quality

    Eating more processed foods often comes with a normal consequence of frequent intake
    of microwaved meals.

    Processed foods generally contain:

    Increased sodium

    Increased preservatives

    Increased sugars

    Artificial preservatives

    More ready-to-eat food products contain

    Increased sodium, leads to water retention

    Most often tend to be low in fiber

    Blood pressure issues with increased sodium

    Digestive issues with processed ingredients

    Safety in Cooking

    Safe to microwave food in the right containers

    No radiation is left in the food.

    The following will result if improper containers are used:

    Chemical residues leach from plastic

    Food may not get heated uniformly and may lead to survival of bacteria

    Possibilities of contaminated food in the event of cracked containers

    Long-term effects

    Development of improper eating

    Fresh fruits and vegetables intake will be reduced

    Chances of addiction for processed foods

    Impact on cooking skills and food knowledge

    Economic Impact

    Generally microwave dishes are costlier compared to the homemade dishes

    Long-term food costs are greater

    More packaging waste
