The term foodborne illness covers all illnesses that are caused by eating contaminated food and illness that’s brought on by allergic reactions to food.

So the contaminants can be allergenic, biological, chemical or physical.

“Food poisoning” is a specific type of foodborne illness that is connected to eating certain bacteria such as e coli for example. The symptoms of food poisoning can last as little as an hour or as long as several days. There are a few different symptoms including; nausea, stomach cramps or pain, diarrhoea, vomiting and possibly a fever. And even though the healthiest of people can get food poisoning there are certain groups of people who are more at risk than others because they have weaker immune systems. This includes young children, the elderly, pregnant women and unborn babies and people who are already ill or recovering from an illness. For these groups especially food poisoning is very dangerous and can even be fatal.

There are also certain foods that are known as high risk, meaning they are more likely to cause food poisoning because they are the ideal place for harmful bacteria to multiply. High-risk foods are usually three things; moist, rich in protein and ready to eat. For example you need to keep a special eye on things like shellfish, pre-cooked meat such as chicken and ham, milk, eggs, and dairy, and foods that contain these ingredients like soft cheese, cream and mayonnaise.

High risk foods need to be handled and stored with particular care. They should also have a use-by date on the label.

After a shocking diagnosis that would begin stripping Bob Cafaro of his ability to perform, sheer willpower and changes to his daily life allow him to beat all odds.

Bob Cafaro played chamber music full time and served on the faculty of the University of Virginia until 1983 when he became a regular with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra. He later joined the Baltimore Symphony and in 1985 became a member of the Philadelphia Orchestra. In 1999, Bob was stricken with a virulent case of Multiple Sclerosis, which left him nearly blind and without the use of his hands. Defying what doctors had told him, he made a complete and remarkable recovery and has since written a book, been a member of The Rachmaninov Trio since 2003, and has grown passionate in his involvement with volunteer and outreach activities.

Foods play an important role in arthritis because they can either help reduce inflammation and manage symptoms, or exacerbate inflammation and make symptoms worse. Arthritis is a chronic condition characterized by inflammation of the joints, and certain foods can either promote or reduce inflammation in the body, which can affect arthritis symptoms.

If you have arthritis or joint pain, then you should avoid these foods that can aggravate inflammation and joint pain.

1. Inflammatory fats.

Several types of fat increase inflammation in the body.

Several oils, such as corn, safflower, sunflower, and vegetable, contain high levels of omega six fatty acids. Omega-6 fatty acids are not harmful in moderation, but excessive consumption can aggravate joint pain.

In the video we have share few foods which contains high saturated fats and should be avoided.

2. Full-fat dairy products, such as whole milk, butter, and cheese
Tropical oils, such as coconut oil and palm oil

In the video we have share few foods and dairy product which contains high saturated fats and should be avoided.

3. Added sugar:

Many products contain added sugars. So, always check food labels of breakfast cereals, sauces, and soft drinks, as these may contain surprising amounts of added sugars.

4. Nightshades:

Nightshades are a group of vegetables that contain the compound solanine. It is a natural toxic compound that acts as a natural pesticide, protecting these plants from insects, fungi, and other threats.

Different studies have different opinion about the nightshade vegetables. Some say it can trigger inflammation, but others say it can actually reduce inflammation.

So, what to do? Watch our video to know more on this.

5. High AGE foods:

Advanced glycation end products or AGEs are molecules, created through reactions between sugars and proteins or fats. They naturally exist in uncooked animal foods and are formed through certain cooking methods.

We have discussed in detail about high AGEs foods in our video.

6. Gluten containing foods.

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley, and it is known to trigger an immune response in individuals with celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease. Rheumatoid arthritis is also an autoimmune disease.

It Is seen that gluten containing foods can aggravate inflammation and joint pain in rheumatoid arthritis.

But, if you have osteoarthritis then you probably don’t have to worry about that. Watch our video to know more on this.

7. High-salt foods.

Excessive salt, or sodium, intake may increase the risk of developing autoimmune diseases such as Rheumatoid arthritis. It may also worsen the symptoms.

People should keep their sodium intake below 2,300 milligrams per day which is about 1 teaspoon of salt.

If you have arthritis, a healthy diet and lifestyle may help improve your symptoms.
Keep in mind that lifestyle factors like your activity level, body weight, and smoking status are also vital to managing arthritis.
