I am one of those people who have read articles about many foods that should not be reheated for eating because it can cause various harm to the body. But after reading more, I found out that are these stories true? This is the origin of this article: Does reheating food really cause cancer or increase the risk of diarrhea as they say? ทางเข้า ufabet stated that:

Meat 

and protein foods such as mushrooms, chicken. And eggs that are warned not to be reheated may not be dangerous from reheating. But they are dangerous from improper or poor storage, such as storing in a refrigerator that is not cold enough, allowing microorganisms to grow and create toxins. When these foods are eaten. They can affect the digestive system.

Vegetables and fruits

contain nitrate because vegetables contain nitrogen that may be left over from various fertilizers. When vegetables are cooked, nitrate is released, which is normal. However, when reheated, even though nitrate is found. It is still not in a quantity that is sufficient to cause any harm to the body.

Therefore, it can be concluded that almost all food can be reheated and eaten without causing any harm to the body. However, it should be stored properly because the danger may result from inadequate storage.

There is one thing that you must not reheat and use, which is oil. If oil is used for frying food more than 2 times, when the oil is used at a temperature higher than 180 degrees Celsius. It will cause the oil to change, such as the oil becoming darker, more sticky, or bubbly. If you eat food fried in oil that has been use repeatedly, it may cause cancer.

How to store food for proper reheating

Cooked rice can be reheated. And eaten as usual without any danger. Just keep it in the refrigerator with a sufficiently cold temperature and then reheat it to eat.

Fried food should be store in a cool place. If you want to reheat it for eating, you should heat it at a low temperature or use a microwave.

Generally, cooked food can be refrigerated for storage for an average of up to 3 days. It should be reheated no more than once. If you want to eat only a portion, separate it out and reheat only the portion that you will eat at one time. Food should be reheated from the refrigerator before eating. In addition to the taste being better than eating it cold, it also helps destroy some of the microorganisms that may have formed during storage.
