10 Foods You never Refrigerate

10 Foods You Should Never Refrigerate.

Refrigerators are great - They keep our drinks cool and our food fresh.. However, despite our tendency to just toss whatever food we have into the fridge, there are certain foods that will fare much better outside of the cold environment than in it. Here are the 10 most common foods people keep in the fridge, but shouldn’t.

1. Tomatoes

The fridge does keep tomatoes fresh, but it does this by stopping the process of ripeness. When this process is stopped, the tomato loses its flavor. In addition to the loss of flavor, the refrigerator also changes the texture of the tomato, making it powdery or floury. Tomatoes are best kept out of cold environments.

2. Basil

When one keeps fresh basil in the refrigeration, it withers very quickly, but before it withers all the way and becomes unusable, it absorbs the taste of the foods kept closest to it. The best way to keep fresh basil it outside the fridge and in a glass of fresh water, just like flowers.

3. Potatoes
The cold of the fridge turns the starch in the potato into sugar in a faster pace than normal, and we're left with a sweet yet grainy potato. Keep your potatoes in a sealed sack, in a cool place that isn't actually cold. They should also be covered, because being exposed to sunlight makes them grow 'eyes'.

4. Onions
The damp in the fridge makes onions soft and moldy. The best way to keep onions is in a cool and dry place, outside the fridge. Green onions can be kept in the fridge because of their high % of water content. Be sure not to keep onions next to the potatoes, because it'll make them both go bad faster.

5. Avocado
If you're waiting for the avocado to ripen, you should never put it in the fridge. A refrigerator does well by the avocado, but only if it has already ripened and you want to prevent it from going bad.

6. Garlic
When we keep garlic in the refrigerator, it begins to shoot out and grow green stalks. Also, it'll get a moldy, sticky texture. It is best to keep garlic in a dry, cool place.

7. Bread
When it comes to bread, there are a number of options. If this is sliced bread you are going to use within a few days, it can be kept in the fridge. When you keep bread for longer, the fridge will make it dry out faster, and so it's best to keep it somewhere closed off, but not in the refrigerator. If you only rarely eat the bread, it can even be kept in the freezer.

8. Olive Oil
Olive oil should be kept somewhere dark and cool, but when placed in refrigeration, it freezes and becomes alike to butter. That said, you can thaw it again to its original state.

9. Coffee
Storing coffee in the fridge makes it quickly lose its flavor and even absorb the flavor of foods stored near it. Coffee should be kept somewhere dark and cool. However, if you want to keep a large amount of coffee at home, you can keep it in the depths of the freezer - not near the door.

10. Honey
One of the most fascinating facts about honey is that it never goes bad. You can eat honey from a thousand years ago, and it'll still be good. There is no reason to keep honey in the fridge and it should be avoided since the cold will make it a solid and it's always better kept at room temperature.

DISTURBED SLEEP EVERY NIGHT

Disturbed sleep every night? Checklist for healthy sleep

If you have been facing problems in falling sleep, here is a small
checklist you can count on!

# Punctuality is one of the most important things in life. Fix a
regular bed time and wake up every day at the same time for quality
sleep. Va la! Science supports women folks to say that they need a
little more of sleep than their male counterparts do. Avoid lying
in or oversleeping especially on the weekend for your biological
clock to work well.

# Avoiding afternoon naps are essential for weight reduction and
for a goodnight's sleep. Yet, a power nap of 30-45 minutes before 3
o'clock may be beneficial.

# Get rid of any bedding that creaks as you move or prevents good
sleep. Never keep used clothes, shoes or dirty things or even
flowers in the bed room. Also make your room temperature as
comfortable as possible.

# Never sleep with make up on.

# Shut out from all kinds of lights and noisy distractions. That
includes pets!A dark room invites more sound sleep than with a
nightlight on.

# Bed means sleep. Avoid doing work or recreational activities on
bed.

# Enjoy a book, some music, a warm bath or even a light snack or a
glass of warm milk before going to bed. It is unwise to take heavy,
spicy foods within 3 hours of sleep. Also avoid exercising just
prior to bed time.

# Learn to leave your worries on the table. Thoughts on the day's
events can keep you awake even when sleep is knocking at the door.

# Practise yoga or other relaxations methods like meditation to
release stress. Brahmari is advised in Pranayama!

# Do not lie down if you are not sleepy. Sleep is not something
that can be forced. So read until you feel sleepy.

# It is recommended to fall asleep on your back with maybe a pillow
under your knees to support your lower back.

# Smoke, alcohol and caffeine snatched you not only your good
health but a welcome sleep.

# If you like, put a couple of drops of lavender oil on a cotton
and keep it near your pillow. Do not use if pregnant or have a baby
sleeping the same room.

Sleep well!
