During the Spring Festival, families cook a lot of meals, especially when eating Chinese New Year's Eve meals or entertaining guests at home. In this way, there will be a lot of leftovers in the home, which has caused many people to continue to eat leftovers during the Spring Festival.
However, many people believe that leftovers will contain some harmful substances, which will have a certain impact on human health.
So during the Spring Festival, can leftovers be eaten? In fact, not all leftovers produce harmful substances.
If consumed properly, it will not affect the health of the body. However, there are three types of leftovers that cannot be eaten. As for which three foods it is, the following, let's take a closer look at it.
Which three kinds of leftovers can not be eaten during the Spring Festival?
First, all vegetables
All vegetable leftovers must not be eaten overnight, such as leafy greens. Leafy greens contain a lot of vitamins and other nutrients, and some of these nutrients are lost after cooking at high temperatures.
If you cook it again overnight, not only does it have no nutrients, but it will also produce a lot of nitrite.
If this ingredient is consumed in large quantities for a long time, it will lead to chronic poisoning in the human body, and even have the harm of carcinogenicity.
In addition, all mushrooms should not be eaten, such as fungus, shiitake mushrooms, white fungus and other fungi.
If it is left for too long after cooking, it is easy to breed some bacteria, which is very likely to cause some gastrointestinal discomfort.
2. All seafood
During the Spring Festival, many families will make some seafood food, especially all kinds of shellfish, crabs, shrimp, and fish. If these seafood foods are not eaten at once, then do not continue to eat.
After seafood cooking, if it is left for too long, the protein contained in the food will be quickly decomposed, resulting in a large number of bacteria, which will be very harmful to the kidneys, liver and gastrointestinal tract.
In addition, many people like to eat some paella, such as seafood noodles, or seafood rice bowls.
These overnight meals should not be eaten, not only a large amount of nutrients are lost, but a variety of bacteria will stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in bloating, diarrhea and other phenomena.
3. All cold dishes
During the New Year, many people like to eat some cold dishes, which can play a role in degreasing and appetizing. However, it is worth noting that all cold dishes should not be eaten once leftover, and should be quickly discarded.
Whether it is cold meat, seafood or cold vegetables. These cold foods use a lot of condiments in the process of making, such as garlic.
Once placed for too long, it will not only produce a large odor, but also breed a large amount of nitrite, which is easy to cause people to have stomach pain, stomach bloating and diarrhea after use.
All in all, during the Spring Festival, the above three kinds of leftovers must not continue to be eaten. Otherwise, it will seriously endanger the health of the body.
In addition, some starch-rich leftovers, such as noodles, potatoes and other foods, do not continue to eat.
In addition, after the food is left, do not put it directly in the refrigerator, after it is completely cooled, cover it with plastic wrap, and then put it in the refrigerator. It must be fully heated before the next consumption before continuing.
