Risk of food poisoning
Pizza contains ingredients like cheese, processed meats (like pepperoni) and sauces, which can grow bacteria very quickly if not stored properly. If pizza is left at room temperature for more than two hours, harmful bacteria like salmonella and E. coli can grow in it. When you eat it the next morning, this increases the risk of food poisoning , which can cause stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea and fever.
It has a bad effect on the digestive system
Eating stale pizza has a direct effect on your digestive system. Actually, the base of pizza is made of refined flour, which is not easily digested. When it becomes stale, it becomes even more difficult to digest. This can cause flatulence, acidity and constipation .
risk of obesity and other diseases
Pizza is very high in calories, fat and sodium. Eating stale pizza on an empty stomach in the morning can cause the blood sugar level in your body to rise suddenly and then fall rapidly. This fluctuation in blood sugar can make you feel lethargic, irritable and hungry again. Eating stale pizza regularly can also increase the risk of obesity, diabetes and heart diseases .
What to do?
If you still want to eat stale pizza, keep a few things in mind:
- Refrigerate immediately: If there is leftover pizza, place it in an airtight container and refrigerate it within two hours.
- Reheat properly: Reheat pizza thoroughly before eating to kill any bacteria. You can reheat it in the oven or in a pan.
