Chinese people have always regarded diligence and thrift as their virtues, and this is also true in diet. Leftovers are not willing to throw away, and it is normal to eat them the next day. It is a virtue to save food, but if you eat unclean overnight meals, it is likely to cause a series of health problems. For our health, it is best not to eat overnight dishes, control the amount in advance when cooking, and cook as much as you want. Avoiding overnight dishes is the best choice. Maybe you are wondering why the overnight dishes can't be eaten, let's find out together now.
1. Overnight greens
Green leafy vegetables are rich in vitamins and dietary fiber, which are deeply loved by people. But it should be noted that the green leafy vegetables that have been cooked at high temperatures have lost a lot of their nutrients. Green leafy vegetables left overnight will also produce nitrite , which is easily decomposed and reacted with other substances under the action of gastric acid to produce nitrosamines , which will increase the risk of esophageal cancer and gastric cancer. So when cooking, be sure to take the right amount and avoid leftovers. Otherwise, it will not only not be able to supplement nutrition, but will also cause harm to the body, which can be described as more loss than gain.
2. Cold dishes
cold dishes are one of the favorite dishes in summer, and they are also eaten in autumn and winter. But cold dishes are generally made with raw and cold fruits and vegetables, which may contain residual bacteria and eggs. The cold salad after overnight gives the bacteria a chance to grow, and is more susceptible to contamination. After eating, it is easy to cause gastrointestinal problems. So in the same way, cold dishes should also be eaten fresh, especially if they should not be kept at room temperature for a long time, because they can easily breed bacteria and even deteriorate.
3. Meat and other dishes
In fact, why can't overnight dishes be eaten or eat less, the principles behind them are similar. The nutritional value of leftovers placed for a long time is greatly reduced, and there is a risk of bacterial growth. Therefore, in the final analysis, leftovers and leftovers have the risk of bacteria exceeding the standard, and they may react to toxic substances if they are not careful. So not eating is the wisest and safest choice. The same is true for foods including meat, whether it is a house refrigerator or stored at room temperature, bacteria will inevitably jump up and down, which can easily cause food safety and sanitation problems and affect our human health.
The most worrying thing about leftovers is bacteria. The mild ones can cause gastrointestinal discomfort, and the severe ones may cause food poisoning. The best way is to eat in moderation and cook as much as you want. In case you shake your hands too much and you can't finish it all at once, it's best to divide it into several portions in advance, seal and refrigerate, to reduce the risk of bacterial invasion, and be sure to eat as soon as possible and avoid leaving it for a long time. Especially for middle-aged and elderly people, their gastrointestinal tract is relatively fragile. You must pay attention to the hygiene and safety of your diet. Otherwise, you will get sick from eating some overnight vegetables, but it is really not worthwhile.
Sour Tangzi is a specialty food in the Northeast. It is a fermented staple food similar to noodles. However, according to the investigation, the food has been placed in the refrigerator for about a year, so it is possible to cause food poisoning. If you encounter it yourself, it will be a sigh. Therefore, it is best to choose fresh food in the diet. If you can eat less, you can eat less overnight vegetables.
