0:17
in this episode today i'm going to talk
0:18
about food poisoning and food poisoning
0:20
is simply an
0:21
illness that develops when you consume
0:24
food that has been contaminated
0:26
and food gets contaminated when it comes
0:28
into contact with
0:29
microorganisms like bacteria and viruses
0:32
so a few hours after consuming food that
0:34
has been contaminated
0:36
you are likely to develop symptoms like
0:38
nausea vomiting diarrhea
0:41
extreme abdominal pain and even fever
0:44
and when you develop these kinds of
0:46
symptoms they may get
0:47
into a very serious state and they may
0:49
need to see a doctor
0:50
so in this video today i'm going to
0:52
mention a few causes
0:54
that lead into food poisoning that may
0:57
be caused by you
0:58
and how you can possibly prevent it in
1:01
the future
1:02
so you need to understand that food gets
1:04
contaminated during the stages of
1:06
production
1:06
processing preparation cooking serving
1:10
and even
1:10
storage so if you're involved in any of
1:13
these stages that means
1:14
the food poisoning could have been your
1:17
fault
1:17
therefore these are the five courses of
1:20
food poisoning that were completely your
1:22
fault
1:23
and i'm going to give you ways that you
1:25
can simply
1:26
prevent it so the course number one is
1:28
under cooking foods
1:30
so when you undercook foods you're
1:31
exposing bacteria
1:33
into an environment that can encourage
1:35
them to grow and when
1:37
the bacteria multiply and you consume
1:40
that kind of
1:40
food that means you're introducing
1:42
harmful bacteria into your gut
1:45
and therefore that can simply mean
1:47
diarrhea
1:48
vomiting abdominal pain etc
1:51
so a simple way of preventing food
1:54
poisoning that is caused by the cooking
1:56
foods
1:57
is by simply cooking foods to
1:59
temperatures that can
2:01
kill those harmful bacterias the cost
2:03
number two is that you're consuming food
2:05
that is expired so every food i think
2:07
that you buy
2:08
in the supermarket has an expiry date
2:10
there is no grace period
2:13
for expired foods so if the expiry date
2:16
is today
2:17
or last week and you consume that kind
2:20
of food that means you're consuming
2:22
spoiled food okay if the experience
2:25
is passed then you can simply throw the
2:28
food away but
2:29
the best thing to do is consume that
2:31
food before it gets to
2:33
an expiry date so the course number
2:35
three of food poisoning is cross
2:36
contamination and we're going to use an
2:39
example when you're preparing different
2:40
foods like you're making a vegetable
2:42
salad or a fruit salad
2:44
and at the same time you're preparing
2:46
meats so when you buy
2:48
meats from the market the meats could
2:50
have been contaminated by some
2:52
certain bacterias and when you're
2:54
preparing the meat
2:55
and you without washing your hands
2:57
without washing the surfaces
2:59
you are preparing the vegetable salad
3:01
the fruit salad at the same time
3:02
so this vegetable salad the fruit salad
3:04
you're not going to cook them
3:06
that means you've introduced the
3:07
bacteria from the meat into the fruit
3:09
salad or into the vegetable salad
3:12
and because they're not going to cook
3:13
the vegetable salad or the fruit salad
3:15
that means the bacteria are still active
3:18
and when you consume that kind of food
3:20
that is a potential food poisoning so
3:22
the idea here is to prepare this food
3:24
separately
3:25
if you're preparing the vegetable salad
3:27
prepare it finish put it aside
3:29
clean the surfaces and then prepare the
3:31
meat of the poultry or whatever else
3:32
you're cooking
3:33
in this way you're preventing cross
3:35
contamination and also preventing
3:38
food poisoning the cost number four is
3:40
you're deliberately eating your foods
3:42
with dirty hands
3:43
okay it sounds silly but washing hand
3:46
washing has been ignored
3:48
by even others you find small children
3:50
washing their hands before they eat but
3:52
most adults actually ignore it and so
3:54
when you're eating your food with dirty
3:56
hands
3:57
that is already contamination that is
3:59
already full poisoning
4:00
so the idea is do not ignore simple
4:03
rules of sanitation like simply washing
4:05
your hands
4:06
before you grab something to eat that
4:08
way you are able to prevent
4:10
food poisoning so the last cause of food
4:13
poisoning is
4:14
poor storage storage your food is very
4:16
important
4:17
to ensure food security you don't want
4:19
to have reasons
4:20
uh to lack food in your house so proper
4:23
storage your food
4:24
ensures you have good food security
4:28
and therefore when you're not storing
4:29
your food well for instance foods like
4:31
mains
4:32
for instance where you're storing your
4:34
foods in uh without covering them that
4:36
means you're exposing this food into
4:38
uh contamination and when you are ready
4:41
to consume that food
4:44
you might be taking in food that has
4:46
already been contaminated
4:48
so practice self storage of foods that
4:51
really are going to be food secure
4:52
at the same time you're going to prevent
4:54
food poisoning
4:56
so like i've said sometimes the food
4:58
poisoning
4:59
the diarrhea the vomiting all those
5:01
symptoms that you develop from food
5:03
poisoning
5:04
could have been completely your fault
5:07
and there's very very easy ways
5:09
of preventing food poisoning in future
5:11
like simply
5:12
washing your hands before you eat like
5:14
simply preventing cross-contamination of
5:17
food
5:18
by simply storing your food well cooking
5:21
your food
5:21
until they are well cooked and also
5:24
checking on expiry dates so that you
5:26
don't consume food that is already
5:28
expired
5:29
so and there are certain foods that are
5:31
get contaminated very very fast
5:33
like meats poultry eggs and fish these
5:36
are foods that you should watch out for
5:38
make sure this food are well cooked make
5:41
sure these foods are well stored
5:42
also remember to read labels read food
5:45
labels read expiry dates
5:47
and lastly cook your food well i hope
