Already, daytime temperatures in Seoul often exceed 30 degrees Celsius.
How are you all coping with Korea's hot summer? ๐
Korean summers are notorious for being like aย "steaming sauna โจ๏ธ,"ย characterized byย 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, Iโll share how to prevent food poisoning and stay healthy during the summer by applying principles of Korean medicine. ๐

๐ฑ Was It the Food? Signs of Food Poisoning
What is food poisoning? It's a sudden illness causedย 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.๐พ
โSo, which foods are risky?
-
Cooked foodย left at room temperature for a long time
-
Undercookedย meat, fish, or shellfish
-
Food contaminated by water orย touched by hands
-
Expired products
-
improperly refrigerated food
In particular,ย raw fish, sushi, raw beef, kimbap, packed lunches, and cream-filled pastriesย can easily become sources of food poisoning if not stored properly in summer.
