For many families, preserving leftovers overnight then reheating at the next meal is a good habit.Because it saves food, time, effort cooking many times.However, Dr. Cai Dejun of Chu Hai Hospital (Guangdong, China) emphasized that not all dishes can save this type, even if you store tightly in the refrigerator.Even eating some leftovers after leaving overnight, reheating can make you and the whole family "poisoned".
Recently, Dr. Cai is treating a couple over 50 years old (Guangdong, China) with colorectal cancer because of this saving.The couple visited because of persistent abdominal pain and weight loss.Upon receiving the diagnostic result, both thought that the doctor was confused.Because they live very healthy, especially in eating.

The couple said they always eat three meals a day.Extremely rarely eat goods but always cook at home.It is important that they eat less grease, eat a lot of green vegetables, so they have gastrointestinal tumors is difficult to accept.However, this eating habit is a clue that helps Dr. Cai find the cause of the disease for both of them.
Doctor Cai shared:“Counting cancers in couples or families are not related to genetics, the clinicals often come from the lifestyle.That is, they have bad habits in living, eating, living environment or working similarly.This is the same.
When the patient's couple said that they were very busy but always ate enough 3 meals a day with their own cooking food, and eating a lot of green vegetables made me curious.Asked more new or this couple, they often cook a lot of food to eat in many meals.Dinner they eat a lot of vegetables, when leftovers will be packed to refrigerate and reheated for breakfast, lunch the next day.It is this type of savings that have made both of the same colorectal cancer. ”
The reason for eating green vegetables for overnight is equivalent to "poisoning"
According to Dr. Cai, in fact, any dish to overnight, even stored in the refrigerator and then warmed up to eat is not good.Because their nutritional content may change, even metamorphic and toxic.Not to mention, the storage process still has the potential to infect bacteria, causing poisoning and many other diseases.
With green vegetables, we are often advised to eat more because they are rich in fiber, vitamins and help prevent many diseases.However, all these benefits will disappear if they reheat them after eating leftovers.Even eating green vegetables overnight is no different from "poisoning".
“The reason is that the dishes from green vegetables are left overnight or outside the air for too long will produce nitrite.This is a substance that has been recognized by WHO as being able to cause cancer, common as colorectal cancer.Because after entering the nitrite gastrointestinal tract will react with the amines, decomposing the protein product.They combine into nitrosamine - type I cancer and can easily cause gastrointestinal tumors.
Not to mention, the vitamins and folate in dark green vegetables are also very sensitive to heat.When processed with the second heat, these substances will be destroyed and form toxin for the body.So it is best to eat green vegetables within 4 hours after processing, especially in the summer ”- Dr. Cai said.

He also reminded, colorectal cancer is characterized by persistent digestive disorders and defecation such as abdominal distention, abdominal pain in the epigastric area, anorexia, small stool, constipation, bloody bowel movement.The same signs of body such as fatigue, weight loss, weak body.Therefore, when these signs are not subjective but need to quickly visit.In addition to building a healthy lifestyle, regular medical examination for early detection, timely treatment.
