Disadvantages of eating stale food-
Risk of infection-
According to Ayurveda, eating each other’s leftover food in the same plate can put a person at risk of getting an infection.

This is the reason why people are not advised to eat food in the same plate.
The problem of bad breath-
If you are eating the leftover food of someone who already has a problem like bad breath, then this problem can affect you too. Bad breath due to eating leftover food is a very common problem.
Mouth ulcers-
Many times people are unaware of the fact that the saliva of the person with whom they are sharing their plate of food can spread infection. By doing this, you are unknowingly taking in all the germs and viruses of that person. This can lead to cold, cough and flu or even worse health conditions. Germs entering your body through someone else’s saliva can sometimes cause mouth ulcers or other oral diseases for you.
Nutrient deficiency-
When we eat food from someone else’s plate, the body does not get the right amount of nutrients, which may be necessary for your body.
