Medical Video: 7 Food Combinations That Can Ruin Your Health
Do you often snack carelessly on the side of the road and shortly afterwards experience digestive disorders? Yes, unclean food can be the cause of your digestive disorders. Like for example you often snack on the side of the road or eat at a sidewalk, which tends not to be clean.
But you may also have seen someone whose food was always clean, immediately fell ill when just eating street food. Or, there are also people who take snacks every day, but how come it never hurts? How can?
Frequent snacks carelessly make the body vulnerable to bacterial infection
If you often hear advice not to snack carelessly, this is because food and drinks sold at street vendors usually have poor hygiene. This less clean food will cause you to experience indigestion or other infectious diseases.
Digestive disorders are mostly caused by various types of bacteria, such as E. coli, Salmonella, Listeria, Campylobacter, and Clostridium perfringens. All types of pathogens or germs are usually found in contaminated food or drink.
Actually, when a foreign object or bad bacteria enters the body, whether it's from food or not, the body will immediately fight. This resistance is carried out by white blood cells that are part of your immune system.
When bacteria that are in food enter the body, automatically white blood cells will try to stop the development and turn off the bacteria. but if the bacteria are stronger - whether it's in terms of quantity or type - then white blood cells lose then you will experience various symptoms.
The body is not immune, but the immune system increases
If you do not get sick due to random snacks - while your other friends get sick - that does not mean you are immune to bacterial diseases. You can still experience typhoid, diarrhea, or various other infectious diseases from the same bacteria. But when the first bacteria attack and then lower your immune system, it does not mean that your white blood cell forces lose in the 'war'.
White blood cells continue to fight, even if they eventually lose and you experience certain symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Despite losing the war but your immune system has the ability to remember your opponent. This is done to anticipate if one day the bacteria attacks again in the future.
If the same type and amount of bacteria returns to attack the body, your white blood cells will not be easy to lose. This condition may make you not fall ill even though you eat food that has been contaminated many times.
Another thing if your food contains the same bacteria but in greater amounts than before. So your white blood cells do not have enough strength to fight back, so that in this condition your body may become infected again and eventually fall ill.
But this does not mean you don't need to worry about your food hygiene. Germ infections can still cause dangerous diseases when they defeat your immune system, for example when your immune system is weak.
