Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is the highlight of the busy year.

But. The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner seems to be another meal that can never be eaten.

Meals were made too much.

There will inevitably be leftovers.

How to eat the next "leftover feast" healthily.

We all have to pay attention.

Diligence and thrift are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. However, we have to put health first, what is everyone's attitude towards eating the rest of the Chinese New Year's Eve?

Nanchang citizens: If your home is not hot, you can eat it the next day, you can eat it within 24 hours. The big dishes and hard dishes can be left for a little more day, and the fried vegetables can still be eaten the next day, because we are all people who have suffered hardships and are reluctant to throw them away.

Nanchang citizens: Leftovers will not have nitrite, generally like any vegetables will not eat leftovers, eat on demand, try to eat one meal at a time, do not eat leftovers.

There is a common belief that leftovers contain nitrites, which can cause cancer. Is this a reliable claim?

Xiao Wanyi, attending physician of the Nutrition Department of the First Hospital of Nanchang City: Vegetables in overnight dishes, because there are more nitrites in vegetables, may be transformed into toxic nitrite due to bacterial activity during storage, although they are put in the refrigerator overnight, but the amount of nitrite is far from reaching the level of food poisoning. However, it is still recommended that vegetables should not be kept for more than 24 hours, and cold dishes should be even more careful, as long as the meat dishes in the refrigerator are thoroughly heated before eating, they can be properly stored for 1-2 days.

It is naturally best to eat the same day of the dish. The nitrite content of various vegetables is also different.

Xiao Wanyi, attending physician of the Nutrition Department of the First Hospital of Nanchang City: Generally, the petiole is the highest, followed by leaves, stems and leaves, roots, and flowers, while the content of potato pieces, fruits, and seeds is less, that is to say, the nitrate content of vegetables such as beans, soybeans, tomatoes, and onions is very low, and the nitrite content produced during the placement process is naturally not high.

In contrast, leaf and root vegetables such as spinach, leeks, celery, bok choy, rape, green radish, and carrots are different, and their nitrate content is relatively high. The doctor especially reminded that the string of food safety should not be loosened at any time.

Xiao Wanyi, attending physician of the Nutrition Department of the First Hospital of Nanchang City: When storing food, raw and cooked food is required to be stored separately, and it is best to put it in a ventilated and cool place, which needs to be protected from flies, dust and pollution.
