Hey Friends 


How are you?

Do you ever wonder why we are earning money? Different people will answer that question differently. If you ask someone from a first world country or a rich person, their answer will be something different. But if you ask someone from a poor country, you’ll get a simple answer. To keep their family and themselves fed.

No doubt, food is one of our three essential basic needs and in a way everyone is earning for it too. Food today, is not only taken as a basic need but has become a phenomenon. We eat different kinds of food everyday and our tongues always search for something tasty and unique.

What when something so important ends up acting like a poison to the body and what when it causes the digestive system to work properly? I am talking of course about food poisoning. The food that we eat can get contaminated in many different ways and it can cause food poisoning which can last for days and can be really painful.

What Is Food Poisoning?

Food poisoning is a serious problem caused by drinking or eating food with poisonous stuff in it. But it is not the kind of poison that is used by the killer in Agatha Christie novels. Usually, this poison comes from some kind of germs and toxins that are already present in your food or drinks. Various types of germs can cause food poisonings like viruses, bacteria, and parasites.

What Are The Symptoms Of Food Poisoning?

If you are not careful about what and where you eat or drink, and about how you store and handle food then you are more likely to pick up food poisoning. The main signs of food poisoning can vary from very mild stomach ache to severe fever, cramping, vomiting, bloody stools, and non-stop diarrhoea. Other symptoms can also include dizziness and headache. If the vomiting and diarrhoea are severe, dehydration can be a result, which sometimes requires a medical attention too.

Natural remedies are good options to cure food poisoning sooner, and you have many options. If one remedy doesn't seem to be effective for you, there are many other options too that you can choose from.
