I usually cook dinner, put it in the fridge and bring it to work the next day, but I heard that it will lose nutrients and be susceptible to bacteria, is that true? (Hanh, 29 years old, Hanoi )

Preparing your own meals is both hygienic and economical . Homemade dishes are complete, delicious, healthy and tasty.
However, not all foods can be left overnight. Improperly preserved foods can become contaminated, poisoned, and lose their nutrients. Overnight foods are often not as delicious as hot, immediately cooked foods. For example, vegetables, soups, and eggs should not be left overnight. Fried foods when reheated are often dry, not crispy, and not fragrant. Cold rice can still be eaten when reheated, but it does not retain its original delicious flavor.
If you don't have time to cook in the morning and don't want to eat out, you can prepare food in advance or just stock up on savory dishes like braised fish or braised meat. Vegetables and eggs can be cooked the next morning.
Leftover food should be stored in a sealed container with a lid or wrapped tightly with plastic wrap to avoid odors. You should arrange food in the refrigerator properly, in moderation, each type in a separate compartment, and not mix cooked and raw food.
When taking food from the refrigerator, you need to reheat it to make the meal more delicious and attractive. You should keep the refrigerator clean to limit the growth of bacteria.
