Food safety and your immune system

Earlier in the week I blogged about the dangers of placing a handbag on any surface that may come in contact with food - the biggest risk being a nasty tummy bug. I suggested that if you did get an upset stomach, the best remedy would be high doses of a good quality probiotic, which we can gladly supply.

Dr Mercola posted an article recently on How to tell when Leftovers go bad where he also recommends a good quality probiotic for tummy bugs. If you do eat something bad, he says you can minimize your risk of getting sick by keeping your immune system strong. His tips for a strong immune system are:

• Avoid sugar
• Get enough sleep
• Eat garlic regularly
• Deal with stress in a healthy way
• Exercise
