What are the dangers of eating overnight food for pregnant women?

In people's daily lives, leftovers are inevitable. When faced with leftovers, most people will save them for next time, and sometimes they have to eat overnight food. However, overnight food is not good for the human body. It will bring some adverse effects to people, such as causing stomach cancer, food poisoning, etc. It is also more harmful to pregnant women. The following is a detailed introduction to the dangers of eating overnight food for pregnant women.

The harm of eating overnight meals for pregnant women

1. Reduce the resistance of pregnant women: The nutritional value of overnight food is very low, and overnight food is easy to deteriorate. What's more, pregnant women have relatively low resistance. Eating overnight food can easily cause diarrhea. In severe cases, it can also cause dehydration, miscarriage or premature birth. Therefore, for the sake of themselves and the babies in their belly, pregnant women should eat more fresh food, avoid eating overnight meals, supplement more nutrition, and give birth to healthy babies.

2. Impact on fetal development: Overnight meals contain harmful substances, such as nitrite, bacteria, etc. Under certain conditions, nitrite will generate a substance called N-nitroso compound, which may induce gastric cancer. It not only endangers the health of pregnant women, but also threatens the baby in the belly. Bacteria multiply in large numbers in overnight meals. If pregnant women eat overnight meals, they are likely to develop gastroenteritis, and in severe cases, food poisoning.

What are the dangers of eating overnight food?

1. Production of deadly nitrite: Some overnight dishes will produce pathogenic nitrite. However, the nitrite content of overnight dishes will be determined by the temperature and storage time, so overnight dishes should be stored in the refrigerator.

2. Easy to be infected by bacteria: Although the food has been heated and cooked, there will still be bacteria. If overnight food is left in the air, the bacteria will multiply in large numbers. People who eat overnight food again are equivalent to eating bacteria, which is harmful to the body.

3. Decrease in nutritional value: The nutritional value of fried food begins to decrease as time goes by. In particular, vitamin C in food is the most afraid of heat. The hotter it is, the less vitamin C it contains. If food is repeatedly heated, the vitamin C content will slowly be lost. Therefore, eating overnight meals does not supplement the nutrients needed by the human body.

4. Induce various diseases: Food contains nitrite. If nitrite enters the human stomach, in a certain environment, it will gradually turn into NC (N-nitroso compound), which is one of the factors that induce gastric cancer. Especially when the weather is hot, overnight rice is easy to deteriorate. Bacteria will multiply in large numbers when the temperature is high, which can easily cause gastroenteritis and lead to food poisoning.
