10 Foods You Should Never Eat As Leftovers

Processed meats

Another food you should never eat as leftovers is processed meat. You probably already know that these meats are rich in chemicals and preservatives that only extend their shelf lives.

Microwaving can only aggravate things for our health. When you microwave these meats, you might unknowingly expose yourself to chemical changes, like oxidized cholesterol, according to the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

Another study published in the journal “Food Control” shows that reheating processed meats with a burst of microwave radiation might increase the formation of cholesterol oxidation products (COPs), which are directly linked to the development of coronary heart disease.
