We all love to eat out and binge. But sometimes one may end up paying a heavy price for this and get food poisoning. ROSHANI DEVI shares home remedies that help calm the stomach
One of the most important things to keep in mind while eating out is where the place is situated. Ensure that the surroundings are clean. Also ensure that the water being used is potable. Never ever eat from a place if there are flies or a nullah nearby. Another rule of thumb, never eat salad or yogurt when you are out unless you are sure that it is fresh.
However, despite, taking precautions one may still end up getting food poisoning. Here are a few things that one can do.
Drink apple cider vinegar. Mix two-three teaspoons in a cup of hot water. Drink this before eating the meal. If the problem persists, drink two-three teaspoons of undiluted apple cider vinegar for better results.
Consume ginger. Boil a cup of water with one spoon of grated ginger in it. Add honey or sugar according to taste. One can even eat pieces of raw ginger twice a day till the problem vanishes.
All homes have lemon. The acid in lemons helps kill bacteria that cause food poisoning. Add a pinch of sugar to one teaspoon of lemon juice and drink it two to three times a day. You can also sip warm water with lemon juice to cleanse the system.
