Spinach
This vegetable should be eaten immediately after cooking. The nitrates they contain turn into nitrites (a carcinogenic substance) if they are reheated.
Celery
Likespinach, celery is composed of nitrates that become dangerous once the food is warmed up again. There is a tendency to use celery in soups that are kept in the fridge so that it can be used several times a week. Big mistake.
Beets
Like celery and spinach, beets contain nitrates. They should, therefore, be eaten immediately after cooking and not reheated.
Potatoes
The many benefits of the potato are rendered null when they are consumed the day after they are cooked.
Eggs
Reheating eggs that have already been cooked can be toxic to the body and lead to problems for the digestive system.
Chicken
Cold chicken is often a common leftover meal, unlike red meat for example. This is not a coincidence, its high concentration of protein can cause digestive disorders if reheated.
Mushrooms
They are the most dangerous food for your health if they are reheated since they can lead to heart problems. If mushrooms are cooked, they must be eaten immediately or at least cold the following day.
