Glass storage containers

If you’re going to pay attention to what you put in your body, it’s important to know that how you store and reheat your food matters. Since plastic—even items touted as “BPA-free”—can leach harmful, hormone-mimicking chemicals into your food, glass is a safer choice. Glass containers cost more up front, but they last for years, clean up easily, and can go from fridge to microwave; many are even oven- and dishwasher-safe. Pyrex has an affordable ten-piece set, and for most people, two sets should suffice.
