Hello! It's great to meet you again.
I'm Shin Jeong Won, doctor at Tong-in Korean Medicine Clinic.😊
Already, daytime temperatures in Seoul often exceed 30 degrees Celsius.
How are you all coping with Korea's hot summer? 😂
Korean summers are notorious for being like a "steaming sauna ♨️," characterized by high temperatures and extremely high humidity.
In this hot and humid weather, it's easy for the body to feel sluggish, and food spoils quickly; therefore, we need to be mindful of our health management.
In this article, I’ll share how to prevent food poisoning and stay healthy during the summer by applying principles of Korean medicine. 🙂
🍱 Was It the Food? Signs of Food Poisoning
What is food poisoning? It's a sudden illness caused by eating food with harmful bacteria or toxins.
It occurs year-round but is more prevalent in the summer.
Food left out in hot, humid weather becomes a breeding ground for bacteria.👾
❗So, which foods are risky?
-
Cooked food left at room temperature for a long time
-
Undercooked meat, fish, or shellfish
-
Food contaminated by water or touched by hands
-
Expired products
-
improperly refrigerated food
In particular, raw fish, sushi, raw beef, kimbap, packed lunches, and cream-filled pastries can easily become sources of food poisoning if not stored properly in summer.
