There are two treasures in summer, refrigerator and air conditioner, the former to keep food fresh, the latter to cool us down. We all know a lot about air conditioning disease, but we know very little about refrigerator disease. In life, many children are sick because of improper use of the refrigerator. What is refrigerator disease The so-called refrigerator disease means that children have diarrhea, gastrointestinal disease and other problems because they eat food from the refrigerator. This is because although the low temperature of the refrigerator can inhibit the reproduction of most bacteria, there are still some cold-loving molds that can continue to reproduce. If the child consumes this kind of food, a series of problems will occur. 1, headache If the food in the refrigerator as soon as the food is removed to the child, then their oral mucosa will be stimulated, and reflexively cause the head vascular spasm, the child will have a headache, nausea and a series of problems. 2, pneumonia Food is easily contaminated by harmful fungi such as Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, and these bacteria can survive and reproduce in the 0-4 ℃ environment; if you do not pay attention to cleaning the refrigerator, then such bacteria may run from the freezer exhaust port and evaporator to the air, the child may cough, chest pain, fever, chest tightness and shortness of breath and other symptoms after inhalation. 3, gastritis If children are always allowed to eat cold food in the refrigerator, their intestines and stomach will be stimulated by this low temperature and vasoconstriction thinning, blood flow is reduced, digestive juices may also stop secretion, and appear epigastric paroxysmal colic and vomiting and other symptoms. If the child is relatively small, there may also be smooth muscle spasm of the throat, the symptoms of laryngeal obstruction breathing disorder. 4, enteritis If the child ingested the refrigerator cold bacteria, then there may be enteritis, resulting in abdominal pain diarrhea and vomiting. If such conditions occur frequently, then the digestive and absorption functions of the child’s gastrointestinal tract are reduced, affecting their normal development. How to prevent refrigerator disease Although there is a threat of refrigerator disease, but the refrigerator after all has a not bad preservation effect, have to use. So how should mothers use the refrigerator at the same time, effectively avoid refrigerator disease? 1, if the food has been rotten, then do not exist in the refrigerator, so that it does not contaminate other food. 2, do not store food for a long time, especially some vegetables, stored for several days before consumption will be very dangerous. I suggest not more than 3 days. 3, and air conditioning, the refrigerator should also be regularly cleaned and disinfected (once a week in summer). Moms can scrub with 0.5% bleach, and then wipe clean. 4, do not always stuff the refrigerator full, must leave some gaps, so that the cold air is easy to flow. In addition to try to reduce the number of times to open the refrigerator, shorten the time to open the door. 5, raw and cooked food in the refrigerator to open, it is best to use plastic bags to encapsulate, especially some vegetables must be placed in the covered container, so as to effectively avoid cross infection. 6, food should be stored in different categories, raw fish and meat food should be placed in the freezer; cooked fish and meat should be placed in the upper layer of the freezer, vegetables and fruits in the lower layer of the freezer; canned food is placed on the shelves of the box door. These 3 types of food can not be placed in the refrigerator refrigerator has the function of preservation, but not all food can be placed in the refrigerator, not only no preservation role may also lead to nutrition is destroyed, more critical is that the child will eat after the tummy. 1, potatoes Potatoes are not only rich in starch protein, but also can provide babies with lysine and tryptophan and other nutrients, in the early stage of adding supplementary food to the baby, potatoes are a very good choice. Because potatoes are easier to preserve, some mothers will buy a lot of them at once and slowly make them for their babies. But remember, potatoes should not be kept in the refrigerator because the starch of potatoes will be broken down at low temperatures, which not only affects the taste but also may lead to the destruction of the nutrients. Suggestions: potatoes can be placed at room temperature. Mom can take some apples and potatoes together, which can extend the preservation time of potatoes. 2, tomatoes tomatoes sour and sweet, not only can increase the baby’s appetite, but also can supplement vitamin C, and other ingredients together with cooking baby will be more acceptable. It should be reminded that, after being placed in the refrigerator, tomatoes will deteriorate faster. Suggestion: Tomatoes are recommended to be consumed on the same day and not stored in the refrigerator. Usually place the tomatoes with the green leaf tips facing down at room temperature. 3, bananas Bananas are rich in nutrition, not only contains protein trace elements, but also contains all kinds of vitamins. But compared to other fruits, bananas are more difficult to preserve, so some mothers will put them in the refrigerator to try to extend the time. But in fact, putting bananas in the fridge will cause them to rot more quickly. Suggestion: Bananas can be kept at room temperature, and be careful not to put them together with other fruits. Usually when you cook for your children, you must pay attention to their stomach capacity, not too many things to do at a time, and do not buy too many ingredients at once, their food must be mainly fresh.
