Generally, we tend to keep the left-over food items after eating them immediately after preparation. We also do not keep these items in the fridge while they are still hot. We will keep them in the fridge only after they are cool enough. However, this habit facilitates the germs & bacteria in the food item to turn them bad and unfit for consumption. Eating them will lead to encounter a variety of stomach-related problems.
When we cook, if we keep the flame at the highest intensity, it will destroy the nutrition contents present in the food. Besides, when we keep this in the fridge after using a part, and use it the next day, the item would have lost all its positive nutrients and make it a waste.
So, the best suggestion is to try to consume all the freshly prepared items and leave no left-overs.
