You can't get fat during the Spring Festival
In the fast-paced life of the modern day, we often reheat food to save time. However, did you know that some foods can pose safety hazards and even pose a health threat after reheating? As an experienced doctor, I would like to advise you that if you can't finish eating the following four foods, it is best to throw them away to ensure food safety and health.
First, let's talk about eggs. Eggs are a highly nutritious food, but their protein structure is relatively fragile and prone to changes during heating. When the egg is heated to solidify for the first time, its internal structure will change to a certain extent. If heated again, the protein of the egg will be excessively denatured, producing some harmful substances such as hydrogen sulfide and mercaptan, etc. These substances not only reduce the nutritional value of food, but may also cause harm to human health. Therefore, if the eggs are not eaten after cooking, it is best to discard them to avoid safety hazards after reheating.
Secondly, we want to focus on seafood. Seafood is rich in protein and minerals, but its meat is fragile and prone to bacterial growth. After the first cooking, the meat quality of the seafood has changed, and if it is reheated, it will not only cause a poor taste, but also allow bacteria in the seafood to multiply. These bacteria may produce toxins, such as Vibrio parahaemolyticus, during secondary heating, which pose a threat to human health. Therefore, if the seafood is not consumed, it is recommended to discard it directly to ensure food safety.
Again, let's take a look at potatoes. Potatoes are a common ingredient, but they also pose a safety hazard during reheating. Potatoes contain a toxic substance called solanine. During the first cooking process, the solanine content in the potatoes decreases. However, if it is heated again, the solanine content in potatoes will increase again, causing harm to the human body. Potatoes that have been reheated may cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and in severe cases, may even lead to poisoning. Therefore, if the potatoes are not consumed, it is best to throw them away to ensure safety.
Finally, let's talk about milk. Milk is a nutritious food, but it has a relatively short shelf life. After the first heating, the nutrient content in the milk changes. If reheated, the proteins in the milk will be over-denatured, resulting in a worse taste. In addition, milk is prone to the growth of bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, during the secondary heating process. These bacteria may produce toxins during secondary heating, posing a threat to human health. Therefore, if the milk is not consumed, it is recommended to discard it directly to ensure food safety.
In short, in order to ensure food safety and human health, we should manage food scientifically. For the four foods of eggs, seafood, potatoes and milk, if you can't finish it, it is best to throw it away to avoid potential safety hazards after reheating. Let's work together to create a healthy and safe living environment!
