We all reheat foods and eat. But did you know that the reheating process can be bad for your health? When you reheat certain foods, they lose their nutritional value and release toxins, which make the food unhealthy.

Reheating eggs can lead to the production of harmful bacteria like Salmonella. It is best to consume them fresh, otherwise, this can lead to digestive health issues such as indigestion.

Reheating tea changes the flavour and causes the release of various compounds, including polyphenols and catechins. This can lead to upset stomach, diarrhea, bloating, and other digestive problems.

Mushrooms contain proteins that are easily broken down by enzymes and bacteria if they are not stored properly. Reheating mushrooms can promote the growth of bacteria and cause digestive issues.

Reheating cooked potatoes may develop a toxic compound called solanine, especially when they're stored at room temperature. If you plan to reheat potatoes, refrigerate them after cooking and then reheat.

Like mushrooms, spinach contains nitrates that can turn into nitrites when reheated. Nitrites have been linked to the formation of carcinogenic compounds. If you have leftover spinach, consume it cold or at room temperature.
