Medical Video: These Diseases Are ALL Caused by Microwave Ovens, and You’ve probably IGNORED Them!
Have you ever heated a dish or food many times? The goal is indeed to kill bacteria that might grow in long-standing food and make it taste good. But do you know there are types of foods that should not be reheated, because it will damage the texture and nutrition? What are these foods?
Foods that cannot be heated with a microwave
Right now you don't have to bother warming up cold food, you just put it in the microwave and just wait a few moments then your food will be warm again, like it's just been cooked. Indeed, warm food will definitely taste better, but it turns out that not all of your food can be warmed again. Here are some types of food that cannot be heated using a microwave.
1. Boiled eggs
Some of you may often boil a large amount of eggs, so that you can just keep it in the refrigerator if needed. If you want to consume it can rely on microwave so that the egg feels warm again. But did you know that boiled eggs are not good for reheating, especially with a microwave?
Boiled eggs that are warmed again are prone to sudden rupture, because when warmed, there is formation of steam in the egg, so that there will be at one point the egg will explode. Either explode or break in the microwave or in your hand when you hold it.
To avoid the 'steam bomb', you can peel the skin of the boiled egg first and then cut the egg into pieces.
2. ASI
To be practical, usually the mother pumps the milk then stored in the refrigerator. This method is quite effective in meeting baby's needs even though the mother has a busy activity schedule. The milk that has been put in the refrigerator will usually be reheated with a microwave.
But you should not warm this food with a microwave, because the tool will not warm the milk evenly. Of course this will be dangerous for your little one. At some point the ASI can feel very hot and can hurt the baby's mouth and throat. So, you should heat the milk that is already in the bottle with boiled hot water in the pan.
3. Processed meat
Processed meat usually contains many chemicals and preservatives in it, so warming these foods with a microwave is a bad idea. The chemicals in the processed meat will react when warmed, such as the cholesterol content in it will be oxidized.
A study reported in a Food Control journal, states that the cholesterol oxidation reaction that occurs when food is warmed is associated with the risk of coronary heart disease.
4. Various green vegetables
Don't think if your vegetable dishes are better warmed with a microwave. The nitrate content in vegetables such as spinach, kale, or celery will react with the heat released by the microwave.
Nitrates that were previously good for health, will turn into nitrosamines, substances that have been proven to cause cancer. Therefore, do not use a microwave if you want to warm vegetables.
