Feeling stressed in the kitchen?

Feeling stressed in the kitchen?

Despite living in the heart of the home, more than half of Aussies (53%) admit to having an overly cluttered and disorganised fridge* (HF research study). The result? People are wasting time, food and money, and feeling unnecessary stress in the kitchen. But the solution is simple: it’s time to Feng Shui your fridge.

Feng Shui Your Fridge

Follow the Goldilocks principle
This involves striking the perfect balance between too much (causing us to feel overwhelmed), and too little (leaving us wanting more). In finding the middle ground between being too cluttered and too bare in our fridge, we can enhance positive Qi (or energy) in your kitchen. This is said to have many impacts on both our mental and physical health including reducing stress and increasing immunity.
Optimise the arrangement
Say goodbye to items falling as you open the fridge door. If you’ve already cleared out unnecessary foods and your fridge is still crowded, there are some other ways you can maximise the use of the space. Arrange shelves so that items are easily within reach – avoid placing tall ingredients at the front that will block your path. HelloFresh provides recipes with pre-portioned ingredients in a meal kit bag, which can help optimise organisation and minimise food wastage.
Invite positive energy and enhance energy flow
In Feng Shui, the front entrance to your home is often called the mouth of Qi, as it attracts both energy and opportunities. This principle is just as important for our fridges. The front of the fridge should be where we store our most nutritious and nourishing foods. Items not in everyday use and those we only use on occasion can be moved towards the back.
The beating heart of your home
The kitchen is widely recognised as the heart of the home, and the same concept applies in Feng Shui! By ensuring your fridge is readily stocked with fresh, healthy meals, we can enhance our well-being. An easy way to achieve this is by enjoying HelloFresh. Getting fresh food and produce delivered straight to your, and seamlessly customising your order each week will keep the heart of the home beating strong.
Balance the five elements
In Feng Shui, balancing the five elements - Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water - is key to supporting your health and wellbeing. Each element can be reflected in the foods we choose for our fridge. For Wood, choose green veggies such as beans or zucchini; for Fire, try red fruits such as apples or even chilli; for Earth, enjoy yellow or orange root vegetables; for Metal, try White and round objects like rice and milk; and for Water, enjoy blue fruits such as blueberries.
