Here’s to Your (Food) Health!

Hopefully you haven’t felt the dire and painful effects of food poisoning, but it’s likely that either you or someone you know has!

While it was undoubtedly NOT a pleasant experience, I’m sure you thought it was short-lived. Did you know that it can also contribute to diseases that may linger for years to follow?

Reports are showing a disturbing connection between past E. coli infections and a number of ailments, even when past infections have been treated and cured.

In addition, there are a number of reported toxicities lying in common household products that we encounter on a regular basis. However, there are steps you can take to help remedy the issues aggravated by these body pollutants, as well as detox your system for an optimum return to health.

Find out what you can do to detox and strengthen your system.

While you’re thinking about the food borne and household transporters of illness, perhaps you’ve overlooked the most likely culprit affecting your health… your kitchen. While you may “think” you keep it spotless, this room harbors the most germs in the house, raising your risk of contamination.

Take a moment to brush up on your germ-safety I.Q. to help dispel the common “five-second rule” myth, and what you can do to boost immunity against potentially harmful encounters.

Find out why you might NOT want to eat “that”

In addition to “poison proofing” your home, paying attention to the other places that you eat is also important to stay safe! 70 percent of Americans eat at their desks or at work on a regular basis, so concern over cleanliness should be a top priority to avoid illness.

How One Bad Burger Can Haunt You for Years

The lingering effects of food borne illness

Reports are showing a disturbing connection between past E.coli infections and a number of ailments a person suffers from even when past infections have been treated and cured.

Can certain strains of bacteria remain in the body and cause complications further down the road? Is there a way to significantly prevent the dangerous conditions linked to past food poisoning? These diseases include arthritis, pancreatitis that leads to diabetes, as well as both kidney and liver failure.

According to Lauran Neergaard from the Associated Press, scientists have revealed connections between high blood pressure, kidney damage, and even full kidney failure afflicting people 10 or 20 years after they had overcome an E.coli infection.

Do You Really Want to Eat That?

How Your Immunity Can Change the ‘Five-Second-Floor Rule’

Most people are familiar with the old saying that food is safe to eat for five seconds after being dropped on the floor. Since there are just informal studies disproving this now so-called fallacy, it is pretty unlikely that you will contract a serious bout of food borne illness from eating that fallen food… that is, unless the surface it was dropped on contains E. coli or a similar strain of harmful bacterial microorganisms.

However, the kitchen is one of the most germ-infested rooms in the house according to the “King of Germs” Dr. Philip Tierno-- even in the most spic-n-span of kitchens. This is likely due to its high-traffic nature. And given the tenacity of germs, it takes a lot for them to die-- which explains why a thorough hand-washing involving at least 15 seconds of vigorous lathering under warm, soapy water is necessary (not just the notion to “blow off the germs”).
