　　Elderly people must not treat leftovers as treasures

　　Compared with some young people who waste food lavishly, most elderly people will show the other extreme, that is, they reheat the leftovers several times and are reluctant to throw them away after keeping them for several days.

　　Wang Zemin, chief physician of the Department of Internal Medicine at Wangjing Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, told reporters that in outpatient clinics, many elderly people suffer from gastrointestinal diseases due to eating leftovers, ranging from dizziness and palpitation to vomiting, diarrhea , and some may cause other diseases.

　　He believes that it is best to eat food on the same day, as leftovers will produce toxic substances if left for a long time or improperly stored. Because many germs can still reproduce at low temperatures, such as Yersella, Listeria, etc., they can still "give birth" in the refrigerator at 4℃ to 6℃.

　　If you must preserve leftovers, you should also pay attention to how you preserve them. The remaining soups, stews, stir-fries, etc. must be boiled first, placed in covered containers, cooled and then placed in the refrigerator to be refrigerated; they must be boiled and heated through before eating. The remaining mixed vegetables, sauces, and braised meats should be immediately placed in the refrigerator or frozen. The next time you eat them, you must return them to the pot and reheat them, or change them into soups or stews.
