6. Medicines or Supplements
Many people store their medicines, vitamins, or nutritional supplements high up and out of the way, but using the top of the fridge for this purpose is a big “mistake.”
- Altered Effectiveness: The heat rising from the appliance can dramatically change the effectiveness of certain medications and vitamins. Even slightly higher-than-room temperatures can “degrade sensitive ingredients,” making them less effective or possibly “unsafe” to take.
Better option: Store all medicines and supplements in a cool, dry cabinet away from direct sunlight, humidity, and heat sources.
