With the current trend of fast lifestyle, most families indulge in doing the mistake of keeping left-over food in the refrigerator overnight, remove it next day, reheat and then eat.

This practice will not at all help the cause of good health. On the other hand, the person practice this routine may have to encounter several health problems.

When food is kept in the refrigerator, the bacteria in the food item continue to grow while the acidic content in the food item will increase. 

Taking this kind of food will lead to acidity problem.

While keeping the left-over food in the fridge, this also tends to attack the other food items kept in the fridge. This will lead to the family members with this routine prone to sickness.

Generally, we tend to keep the left-over food items after eating them immediately after preparation. We also do not keep these items in the fridge while they are still hot. We will keep them in the fridge only after they are cool enough. However, this habit facilitates the germs & bacteria in the food item to turn them bad and unfit for consumption. Eating them will lead to encounter a variety of stomach-related problems.

When we cook, if we keep the flame at the highest intensity, it will destroy the nutrition contents present in the food. Besides, when we keep this in the fridge after using a part, and use it the next day, the item would have lost all its positive nutrients and make it a waste.

So, the best suggestion is to try to consume all the freshly prepared items and leave no left-overs.
