It's no secret that pasta is prepared not just as a side dish for dinner, but also to have some leftovers for breakfast or lunch.
Then they can be quickly heated up - and the snack is ready. At the same time, no one thinks about the fact that such food becomes harmful to health.
Experts have explained the health risks of yesterday's pasta.
Firstly, it is not recommended to reheat pasta in the microwave.
There is an opinion that free radicals are formed in the starch they contain, which leads to mutation of the body's cells.
But it's complicated, and not everyone believes that microwaves are harmful.
Secondly, yesterday's pasta is difficult to digest.
Normally, this is when food is digested for 2-3 hours. Then the remains of the products move further and after 10 hours should leave the body.
But in the case of reheated yesterday's pasta, the same starch causes discomfort, heaviness, and increased gas formation.
Thirdly, it matters what you eat your pasta with.
If we are talking about a quality product made from durum wheat, then pasta is not so harmful and can be beneficial.
But everything can be ruined by fat, sauce and other products with which the pasta was reheated or served.
