When Xiaoli was 28 years old, the haze of unemployment shrouded her.
To save money, the fridge is stuffed with a variety of discounted foods. During that time, her heart was always heavy, and her life seemed particularly depressing. She often felt sick to her stomach, but she didn't pay much attention to it.
Until one day, Xiaoli suddenly vomited blood and went to the hospital to check, and it turned out to be mid-stage stomach cancer.
Strange to say, after learning the news, she felt a sense of relief, maybe she was tired of the stressful life before.
Her parents, relatives and friends all gave her tremendous support and encouragement, which gave Xiaoli the courage to fight the disease.
During those ten years, she worked really hard to fight cancer, but unfortunately, just a month before her 29th birthday, she still left us.
Stomach cancer, a seemingly distant disease, is actually not far away.
In recent years, the incidence of stomach cancer has been increasing year by year, and dietary habits are considered to be one of the key factors.
So, are there potential risks in our daily eating habits, especially the food storage in our refrigerators, is there also some hidden "dangers" that we are not aware of?
01
Did you know that the incidence of stomach cancer in China is quite high, which is closely related to our dietary habits.
In addition to the unhealthy foods we often know, such as smoking and frying, the way the food is stored in the refrigerator is also an important factor.
Many people often fill the refrigerator with all kinds of food for convenience, just in case.
However, there are big hidden dangers in this practice.
Food stored for a long time will not only greatly reduce its nutritional value, but more importantly, it may produce harmful substances and pose a threat to our health.
(1) Staple foods and nut foods
Like rice, flour, walnuts, etc., these foods are easy to get damp and moldy if they are stored in the refrigerator for too long.
Once mold develops, carcinogens such as aflatoxin are produced.
When these substances enter our body, they increase the risk of stomach cancer. Therefore, it is best to store this kind of food at room temperature and regularly check for mold.
(2) Seafood
Although the refrigerator can extend the shelf life of seafood, if it is refrigerated for a long time, it may cause the protein in the food to denature, which can lead to the production of harmful substances.
In addition, seafood may also be contaminated with bacteria, which may cause adverse reactions such as diarrhea and fever after eating.
Therefore, when we buy seafood, we must choose fresh products and eat them as soon as possible.
It's not just these specific foods that need to be stored in a way that needs attention, it's more important that we keep them fresh at all times.
Because food that is left in the refrigerator for a long time not only causes nutrient loss, but also can produce harmful substances.
Therefore, we must always pay attention to the storage time of the food in the refrigerator and clean up the expired food in time.
02
For the sake of our health, it is necessary for everyone to understand how to use the refrigerator correctly to prevent stomach cancer.
01. Keep the refrigerator clean
It is very important to clean the inside of the refrigerator regularly so that bacteria can not grow.
02. Store food separately
Foods such as meat, fruits and vegetables should be stored separately to avoid cross-contamination.
03. Control the amount of food stored
Try not to store large amounts of food in the refrigerator for a long time, which will ensure the freshness of the food.
04. Dispose of leftovers in a timely manner
Do not wait for the dish to cool before putting it in the refrigerator to avoid bacterial growth. And you should also heat it up as soon as possible after taking it out!
In addition to this, we should always pay attention to the storage time of the food in the refrigerator! It is very important to check regularly and clean up expired or spoiled food in time. Only then can we ensure that we are eating healthy and fresh food!
A healthy diet is key to preventing stomach cancer. We must always pay attention to how and how long the food in our refrigerator is stored to avoid food spoilage caused by long-term storage.
At the same time, we also need to develop good eating habits and lifestyles, so that we can better protect the health of ourselves and our families.
