The doctor advised: 4 kinds of food that have been stored in the refrigerator for a long time, no matter how delicious it is, don't eat it, be careful that you will suffer from liver cancer!
"Doctor, can I still eat the leftovers in my refrigerator? It's been a few days and it doesn't look bad. Aunt Zhang asked. The doctor shook her head and advised her that even if the food that had been stored in the refrigerator for a long time did not look bad, it could hide health risks, especially some specific foods, which could lead to serious health problems due to long-term consumption, including liver cancer.
The first is overnight seafood. Aunt Zhang's house often has leftover shrimp, crab and other seafood. The doctor explained that if seafood is left for too long, it is easy to breed bacteria, especially toxin-producing bacteria.
Some bacteria can also grow slowly at low temperatures, producing toxins that are harmful to the liver. Eating these overnight seafood may trigger acute gastroenteritis, and long-term consumption may even have a risk of liver damage.
The second is leafy greens that have been in place for a long time. Aunt Zhang likes to store all kinds of green leafy vegetables in the refrigerator, thinking that this will prolong the shelf life. Doctors point out that if green leafy vegetables are stored in the refrigerator for too long, nitrite accumulation will occur.
Nitrite is a carcinogen that can increase the risk of liver cancer if consumed over a long period of time. Even vegetables that don't look spoiled may have accumulated harmful substances.
The third type is overnight soup. Aunt Zhang is used to stewing a big pot of soup, and if she can't finish it, she puts it in the refrigerator and continues to drink it the next day. The doctor explained that soups, especially broths, can cause fat oxidation and protein breakdown during storage, resulting in harmful substances. These substances cannot be completely eliminated even after heating, and long-term consumption is a great burden on the liver and increases the risk of liver cancer.
The fourth type is meat that has been frozen repeatedly. Aunt Zhang often freezes the large pieces of meat she bought. Doctors warn that in the process of repeated freezing and thawing of meat, the cell structure will be destroyed, and bacteria will easily breed. Repeatedly frozen meat is prone to the production of carcinogens such as nitrosamines, which can cause damage to the liver and increase the risk of liver cancer when consumed for a long time.
After listening to the doctor's explanation, Aunt Zhang realized that there were indeed many problems with her past eating habits. She decided to change these habits and make sure her family was eating healthy.
She began to cook only enough for the day at each time she cooked, reducing the amount of leftovers. For the unavoidable leftovers, Aunt Zhang also tries to eat them as soon as possible the next morning or noon, and no longer store them for a long time.
Aunt Zhang also noticed that every time she buys ingredients, she does what she can and no longer buys a large number of foods that need to be stored for a long time at one time. Especially for leafy greens and meat, she buys them in small quantities and multiple times to ensure the freshness of the ingredients.
Doctors recommend keeping your refrigerator clean and cleaning up expired and stale foods regularly. The storage temperature of the refrigerator should be suitable, generally the refrigerator room should be kept at about 4 degrees Celsius, and the freezer room should be below minus 18 degrees Celsius. At the same time, pay attention to the storage time of the food and do not exceed the safe storage period.
Aunt Zhang also learned that preventing liver cancer is not only about avoiding food that has been stored in the refrigerator for a long time, but also about paying attention to other healthy lifestyles. She began to quit smoking and drinking, avoiding excessive intake of greasy and high-sugar foods, eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, and maintaining a moderate amount of exercise to strengthen her body's immunity.
Through these changes, Auntie Zhang found that her family's health has improved significantly, and her digestive system has become healthier. She is full of confidence in the future, believing that through a scientific lifestyle and healthy eating habits, she will be able to stay away from diseases and maintain good health.
Finally, the doctor reminds that although the refrigerator is an important tool for keeping food fresh, it is not a one-size-fits-all safe. Long-term storage of food is prone to the growth of harmful substances and is a potential threat to health.
I hope everyone can be aware of these problems, develop good eating habits, reduce the intake of food that has been stored in the refrigerator for a long time, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and stay away from liver cancer and other diseases.
Healthy eating habits and a scientific lifestyle are the keys to disease prevention. I hope everyone can be inspired to pay attention to their own healthy diet, ensure that the food is fresh and safe, and enjoy a healthy and happy life.
