Many people are afraid that their families won't have enough to eat when cooking, so they will cook a lot of dishes. After a meal, there will be a lot of food left, and those who are very frugal will choose to heat it up again the next day to eat. Can pregnant women eat leftover food?
Pregnant women cannot eat these leftover foods. Especially for vegetables that have been marinated for a long time, during secondary heating, the surface salt will change and become nitrite, which can cause poisoning to the body after consumption. Some staple foods are mainly composed of starch, and improper storage methods can easily breed bacteria, making it difficult to remove harmful substances even after high temperatures.
To avoid frequent food leftovers, it is recommended to make less when cooking. For leftover meat products, be sure to pack them properly and refrigerate them in the refrigerator. If you want to eat it again, you can take it out and heat it up, so that the food won't spoil so easily and it tastes healthier.
Not all leftover food is inedible. If it hasn't been more than 4 hours, it can be consumed in small quantities by heating. During this period, in order to provide sufficient nutrition for the baby, it is also necessary to choose to drink specialized maternity formula every morning and evening. In the early stages of pregnancy, take folic acid orally on time every day. In mid pregnancy, it is necessary to go to the hospital for blood tests and undergo four-dimensional ultrasound to rule out fetal abnormalities.
