What happens if you eat stale rice heated up?
Bengalis cannot live without rice. They want to eat rice to fill their stomachs at least twice a day. In most homes, it is customary to heat the previous day’s rice the next day. Sometimes, morning rice is also heated at night. But do you know, reheating rice repeatedly can cause poisoning. So, do not forget to do such a thing. Rather, try to cook only as much rice as is needed.
If rice is kept at normal temperature for a long time after cooking, a type of bacteria called ‘Bacillus Sirius’ starts to form. . If that rice is heated again, that bacteria becomes toxic. And then eating it can cause various problems including diarrhea and vomiting.
Working people often do not have the opportunity to spend much time cooking. We cook it one day and keep it in the refrigerator for several days. Again, we cook rice in the morning and heat it at night. However, this is harmful to health. We should not only eat hot rice, we should eat fresh rice. This information has been reported by a study by the British ‘Food Standards Agency’.
Diseases that can be caused by eating stale rice after heating
- If rice is heated repeatedly, its nutritional value is lost. The risk of various diseases increases. Starting from diarrhea, various complex diseases can occur.
- A lot of bacteria grow in cold rice. Which do not die even if heated, but rather can be more harmful if heated. The disease caused by eating this rice is called fried rice syndrome. Which causes terrible damage to the body.
- Eating rice after heating repeatedly can cause nausea. Along with this, diarrhea can also occur.
- Eating stale rice after heating increases the risk of cardiovascular disease – this is what researchers at the University of Manchester have highlighted in their study.
- Water starts to leave the body due to excessive vomiting and defecation. Due to lack of water, the body becomes dehydrated. Pain starts due to rapid contraction and expansion of the abdominal muscles. Some people also experience pain throughout their body.
Ways to avoid this bacterial infection
- Leftover food should not be left outside for a long time. Especially in humid weather and normal temperatures, such bacteria increase gradually. At the same time, their ability to poison also increases.
- Many people keep leftover rice in a rice bowl after eating it at noon. Many people also heat it if the pot is microwave-proof. However, scientists say that to keep food safe, it is better to use a glass, airtight pot. Before putting cooked rice in the refrigerator, it is important to check whether it has completely reached normal temperature.
- Use an airtight pot and keep it at the right temperature – do everything. Even then, if you have any doubts, you should close your eyes and throw it away without caring about the food.
