42℃! Chengdu may have the highest temperature ever recorded! Doctors from West China warn you to be careful if you eat these two things

After a week of continuous heat, the people of Chengdu finally experienced the severity of the autumn heat.

Today, Chengdu may see the highest temperature peak since meteorological records began, possibly reaching 42°C.

To describe it with everyone’s favorite words: lying in bed is braised , spreading a mat is teppanyaki , getting out of bed is steamed , going out is stir-frying , swimming is boiled , walking on the road is pan-fried , and entering the house, oh ~ it’s time to go back to the wok !

There are so many dishes, but none of them are worth eating in such hot weather. Even the kid next door who usually eats a lot is shouting: "What kind of dishes are we going to make in such hot weather! We'll just eat the whole salad , some kimchi and some porridge, and eat them until they're all gone!"

OK! Today, the concerned Huaxi doctors will tell you about the hidden dangers of these hot dishes that we like to eat with rice, and what aspects should we pay attention to!

Don’t want to eat hot food – cold dishes are suitable

Recently, many friends are probably like me. I have lost my appetite. Even my favorite fly restaurant cannot make me go to taste it in the 40-degree heat... It is the same at home. As long as it requires frying, boiling, frying, steaming, and various cooking methods that use fire, I will not consider it at all! I don’t even talk about appetite. Those who are willing to stand by the stove to cook in this temperature are real warriors! But it is still okay to make a simple salad, whether it is dry rice or porridge, it is the most reliable way to restore appetite!

However, it is important to note that:

Microbial infection

Compared with hot dishes that are cooked and sterilized at high temperatures, cold dishes are mostly not sterilized, which results in a relatively high number of residual bacteria. Compared with hot dishes, cold dishes have a much higher risk of infection.

Cold dishes are more likely to create conditions for the reproduction of pathogenic bacteria

If the ingredients are not cleaned properly, left uneaten for a long time after cooking, or the storage temperature is not low enough after cooking, these will create conditions for the reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms and bury the hidden danger of food poisoning. In addition, the current hot and humid weather is an environment that is conducive to the growth and reproduction of pathogenic bacteria (such as Salmonella, Escherichia coli, etc.), and the risk of infection will be greatly increased. For healthy adults, food poisoning usually causes symptoms of acute gastroenteritis such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting, while for the young, the elderly, and other people with low immunity, severe food poisoning may even cause death.

"Bathing kimchi" - a favorite with rice

Sichuan friends all know what "bath kimchi" is, whether it is the kind you can eat after soaking in a glass jar for 1-2 days at home, or the kind you can add at a restaurant, or the kind you can get for free when you take out. The pickling time is short, just like taking a bath, so it's called "bath kimchi", and the name must be from Sichuan!

In summer, eating cold dishes is considered a serious life for people. Many people just fool around and eat a plate of kimchi and a bowl of rice. It’s not anyone’s fault. It’s not your fault if you have no appetite! Blame it on the hot weather! But be careful of “roundworm” infection! Too short a pickling time will prevent roundworm eggs from being effectively killed, which can easily lead to roundworm infection after consumption. Roundworms growing in the intestines may cause intestinal obstruction. In addition, they like to “drill holes” everywhere. If they run into the intestines, they will cause biliary ascariasis. The consequence is a drilling-like pain. There is no way but surgery to solve it... In addition, there are pickled mustard tubers and spicy cabbage for a long time. Because the nitrite exceeds the standard, long-term consumption may cause gastric cancer, esophageal cancer and liver cancer, which are extremely harmful to the human body.

Do this - eat your meals safely

There are so many hidden dangers in summer side dishes. Is there any way to ensure both a refreshing taste and safety?

Here are 5 suggestions for you:

Understand the characteristics of food ingredients

When choosing ingredients for cold dishes, it is recommended to choose those that are fresh to reduce the risk of microbial proliferation during storage.

For example: most vegetables can be eaten directly as cold dishes, but some vegetables need to be properly cooked before they can be eaten together. Vegetables with high oxalic acid content (such as spinach, amaranth, etc.) and vegetables with high nitrite content (such as toon, etc.) must be blanched before eating; legumes such as green beans and string beans need to be thoroughly cooked before being eaten cold dishes, otherwise the lectins and other substances they contain can easily cause food poisoning.

Food cleaning method

If you are worried about pesticide residues in the food, it is recommended to rinse it with plenty of running water and rub it physically, such as brushing it with a brush, or you can choose to soak it. Generally speaking, the most appropriate time is to soak it for about ten minutes before washing it.

Pay attention to the use of equipment

Kitchen utensils should be kept clean. It is best to separate raw and cooked utensils such as cutting boards and knives to avoid cross contamination. Disinfect bowls and plates for dishes in advance, and wash your hands before mixing vegetables.

Make the most of seasoning

When making cold dishes, you can use minced garlic and ginger, add a little salt, and use olive oil (good for the cardiovascular system), vinegar, etc., which can improve the nutritional value while ensuring the taste.

Avoid long-term storage

Summer salads should not be stored for a long time, so it is best to eat them immediately. If you can't finish them, you can refrigerate them for a short time, but it is not recommended to keep them overnight. Whenever we talk about the hidden dangers of eating, there are always friends who say that people in the past didn't know anything and ate everything without any problems......

To this, I can only say:

My friend, the average life expectancy used to be 50, but now it is approaching 100! (Isn’t this the result of the advancement of medicine?)

Although it is good to eat with rice, be alert to the above hidden dangers and improve your life habits, it will be better~~

Ask:

It's such a hot day.
