At noon in the summer, the sun was just right, and Ah Xing was sitting at a small table in the courtyard, with all kinds of food in front of him. He was hesitating about what to eat, when suddenly, an old man with gray hair walked into the courtyard.
"Young man, why are there so many leftovers on your table?" the old man frowned slightly as he looked at the table full of food.
Ah Xing smiled a little embarrassedly: "Old man, these are all leftovers from last night, and I haven't had time to pour them out yet." ”
The old man nodded, and said earnestly, "Young man, do you know that some foods can no longer be eaten after overnight, which is not good for your health. ”
Ah Xing was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously, "Really, old man, can you tell me what kind of food there is?"
The old man sat down with a smile and began to count the foods that should not be eaten overnight.
"First of all, leafy greens," said the old man, "contain more nitrates, and if they are left out for too long after cooking, the nitrates will be reduced to nitrite under the action of bacteria, which is a carcinogen." Therefore, it is better not to eat leafy greens overnight. ”
Ah Xing listened with relish, and secretly congratulated himself in his heart that he usually didn't eat overnight vegetables.
The old man continued: "There are also seafoods, such as fish, shrimp, crab, etc. Seafood is rich in protein, and if eaten overnight, it can easily lead to the production of protein degradants, which can damage liver and kidney function. Therefore, seafood should also be avoided overnight. ”
Ah Xing nodded yes, thinking that he must pay attention to it in the future.
The old man continued: "In addition, soft-boiled eggs cannot be eaten overnight. Because the sterilization of soft-boiled eggs is not complete, it is easy to breed bacteria after overnight, and symptoms such as gastrointestinal discomfort and flatulence are easy to occur after eating. ”
Ah Xing suddenly realized that his habit of eating soft-boiled eggs was so unhealthy.
The old man paused for a moment, and then said: "There are also soy milk, white fungus soup, etc., if left for too long, it is easy to deteriorate, produce bacterial toxins, and is also harmful to health." ”
Ah Xing listened more and more seriously, and his heart was full of gratitude for the old man's words.
The old man finally concluded: "Actually, not only these foods, but many foods should not be eaten overnight. Because food can breed bacteria and produce harmful substances during the placement process. So, it's best for us to eat fresh food every day and avoid eating it overnight. ”
Ah Xing was so inspired that he decided to change his eating habits from today. He stood up, threw away all the leftovers on the table, and went into the kitchen to start preparing a fresh lunch.
Since then, Ah Xing has eaten fresh food every day, and his body has become healthier and healthier. He was grateful to the old man for reminding him to avoid potential health risks.
This story tells us that overnight food not only tastes bad, but more importantly can be a threat to our health. We should develop a good habit of eating fresh food every day and pay attention to our own dietary health. At the same time, we must also learn to listen to the wisdom and experience of the elderly, whose words often contain profound truths and valuable knowledge.
Let's start now, cherish our bodies, pay attention to healthy diet, and create a better future together.
Ah Xing's changes are not only reflected in his diet, but also in his attitude towards life. He began to pay attention to everything around him, and found the beauty of life in the subtleties. He learned to appreciate the birdsong of the early morning, the afternoon breeze, and the starry sky at night. He understands that health is not just about being free from disease, but also about being positive and energetic.
Ah Xing also began to pass on this pursuit of health to the people around him. He shared what he had learned with his friends and reminded them to pay attention to food safety and nutrition. He also organized a community health lecture with experts on the importance of healthy eating. More and more people are beginning to pay attention to their diet health, and Ah Xing has also gained friendship and growth in the process.
One day, Ah Xing met the gray-haired old man again. The old man looked at Ah Xing's radiant appearance and smiled with satisfaction: "Young man, you have done a good job. Health is a precious asset, and only by cherishing it can we have a better future. ”
Ah Xing said gratefully, "Old man, thank you for your reminder and teaching. I will continue to work hard to make more people aware of the importance of healthy eating. ”
The old man nodded and turned to leave. Ah Xing stood in the courtyard, looking at the back of the old man who was gradually moving away, and his heart was full of gratitude and respect.
This story tells us that health is the cornerstone of our lives, and we should cherish it and care for it. At the same time, we must also learn to pass on the concept and knowledge of health so that more people can benefit. When we feel life with our hearts and care for ourselves and others, we will find that the world is full of beauty and hope.
Ah Xing's story continues, and he will continue to work the road of pursuing health. He believes that as long as everyone pays attention to their health and feels the beauty of life with their hearts, the world will become more harmonious and happy.
