To prevent stomach cancer, try to eat less leftover food

At present, digestive system tumors such as gastric cancer, intestinal cancer, and liver cancer have become the main cancers that seriously threaten human life and health. With the change of life and work style, many people suffer from stomach problems due to bad eating habits such as overeating, fast food, and irregular diet. How to prevent stomach problems from developing into gastric cancer? This needs to start from the details of life, such as eating less overnight food.

With the promotion of refrigerators, many families have developed the habit of leaving leftovers for the next day, and even many people mix leftover rice and vegetables to make "rice with vegetables". Little do they know that these may increase the risk of gastric cancer.

This is because food is in direct contact with the stomach and stays in the stomach for digestion, so the stomach is often subjected to mechanical friction and chemical stimulation from food. Overnight vegetables such as green vegetables, spinach and other green leafy vegetables, green beans such as sword beans and broad beans, are easily prone to chlorophyll biochemical reactions when repeatedly cooked, producing degradable components that lead to gastric cancer; seafood such as crabs, fish, and shrimps are prone to protein degradation products after being left overnight; leftover soup is also prone to chemical reactions and carcinogens when kept in aluminum or stainless steel pots for a long time, so it should be placed in glass or ceramic containers as much as possible.

Therefore, for the health of your stomach, you should try to eat less overnight meals, and be careful not to leave leftovers for more than 12 hours.
