The relevant CDC departments have suggested that intestinal diseases should be a key focus for prevention in June. Qian Dongmei, Director of the Gastroenterology Department at Beijing Tongren Hospital, stated that June in Beijing is also a high-incidence period for intestinal diseases. Summer intestinal infectious diseases mainly include bacterial dysentery, infectious diarrhea (including Salmonella infection), etc.
Soaking fruits and vegetables in salt water helps prevent intestinal diseases
Qian Dongmei mentioned that to prevent intestinal diseases, it is crucial to thoroughly wash raw vegetables and fruits before eating them, and they can be disinfected by soaking in salt water. Hands must be thoroughly cleaned before handling food. Additionally, try to avoid eating leftover meals. If you must eat them, be sure to heat them thoroughly, especially food stored in the refrigerator. A refrigerator is not a safe haven; some bacteria can multiply at low temperatures. Furthermore, when eating grilled meat, it must be fully cooked. Do not eat undercooked meat and seafood just for the sake of taste.
