Reheating Food: Is Your Time-Saving Habit a 'Slow Poison' for Health?

• Repeatedly reheating food from the fridge can destroy nutrients and make it toxic, say experts.
• Vitamins and proteins are lost with repeated heating, especially in leafy vegetables and pulses.
• Harmful bacteria like 'Bacillus cereus' can form in reheated rice, causing food poisoning.
• Reheating protein-rich foods like chicken and eggs can alter protein structure, leading to digestive issues.
• To safely use leftovers: store in airtight containers, reheat only the portion to be eaten, consume within 24 hours, and heat thoroughly.
