Three leftover foods you should never eat!

We often do not want to cook, especially knowing that the remains of previous meals widely will do. Although this habit is a good solution against waste, it is still quite hazardous to health, given the fact that some foods become toxic when they are heated. Discover the three leftover food that never should consume!

It is true that the remains of a meal are not as delicious at the time of preparation, but their advantage is that they are ready after a walk of a few minutes in the microwave. However, some food remains a danger to health when consumed. By eating them, you increase your risk of suffering from digestive disorders, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and even cardiovascular problems.

Three scraps of food he would never be consumed:
1 – Vegetable oils
A study by a team of researchers from the University of the Basque Country in Spain, has shown that to heat the frying temperature in vegetable oils promotes the release of toxic, hazardous compounds to the body. Indeed, the temperature experienced by the vegetable oil (sunflower, maize, soybean or rapeseed) during frying causes degradation of polyunsaturated fatty acids contained therein and thus leads to the release of a toxin called 4 -hydroxynonénal (4-HNE), very reactive to body proteins and nucleic acids. Moreover, several studies have this toxin associated with various diseases such as atherosclerosis, liver disease, Alzheimer, Parkinson and even cancer.

In addition, each time the oil is reused, its concentration of this toxin and increases the risk it poses to health also increases.

It is therefore advisable not to over heat the vegetable oil and get rid of as soon as they begin to foam or smoke. You can also emphasize the olive oil which, according to the same study, has the lowest toxicity. Its high monounsaturated fatty acid can delay and significantly reduce the release of these toxins.

2 – Vegetables
Spinach, beets, potatoes, lettuce and celery are very beneficial vegetables for the body and their regular consumption is highly recommended. The problem is their nitrate content – harmless – but that may be converted into nitrites and nitrosamines very harmful to the body.

Indeed, when spinach – or other – are cooked and left at room temperature, they undergo an overgrowth of bacteria that causes the conversion of nitrates into nitrites and nitrosamines carcinogenic. In addition, infants and people with low stomach acidity, the passage of these molecules in the blood converts hemoglobin to methemoglobin, reducing oxygenation of the first, leading to the asphyxia and even death.

It is therefore advisable to eat your vegetables, just after cooking, or keep fast in the refrigerator at a temperature not exceeding 5 ° C for 2 days.

3 – Rice
According to the Food Storage Agency, rice contains bacteria that sometimes can survive and to withstand the temperature of the cooking water from boiling. So keep leftovers who spent over an hour at room temperature, between the end of the cooking time and retain them, otherwise they become unfit for consumption. Bacteria that cooking has not been possible to eliminate multiply and reach dangerous levels to health. On entering the body, they can cause digestive problems and cause nausea and vomiting.

It is therefore advisable to eat rice immediately after baking, and not to leave his remains over one hour at room temperature.
