The general principle is to avoid eating foods that contain bacteria. Lin Guanliang said that when making choices, you can first consider whether there are bacteria in the food. Regardless of good bacteria or bad bacteria, these foods are harmless to ordinary people and those with healthy immunity, but they are not harmful to people with low immunity. Humans are very susceptible to infection.

Sterile meal for 4 groups

● Those who are undergoing chemotherapy (such as blood cancer).

●Organ (including bone marrow) transplant recipients.

● children with cancer.

●Those who are taking immunosuppressants.

Lin Guanliang reminded that the purpose of using sterile meals is to reduce the risk of infection, and some research results show that sterile meals are not required, so some hospitals will not require it, but it is recommended to do it, which is an extra guarantee, and there is no need to do it because of not doing it. panic.

Try not to touch raw food, pickled products, mayonnaise, etc.

●Avoid raw vegetables and fruits that cannot be peeled, such as salads, strawberries, blueberries, etc., because there are bacteria on the surface; boiled or peelable ones can be eaten, such as fried vegetables, bananas, cantaloupe, etc.

●Avoid kimchi and pickled products, because they are raw and contain bacteria.

● Avoid raw luncheon meat (it can be eaten raw); avoid meat that is not fully cooked, such as steak should be fully cooked.

● Avoid half-boiled eggs, and half-boiled eggs are considered cooked if the egg whites are all white. If you are worried, it is better to eat them fully cooked.

In addition, mayonnaise contains raw eggs, so it is not recommended to eat it.

●Avoid sashimi.

●Avoid unpasteurized fruit juices (use raw vegetables), dairy products (such as yogurt), and cheeses (especially blue cheese) unless they are cooked.

●Avoid raw nuts and nuts roasted with shells, as the heating may be incomplete and there may be residual bacteria.

For example, pistachios are also available in shell and shell, and you can choose to bake after shelling.

3 things to keep in mind about raw food

●Raw food itself has bacteria, which can be eaten when the bacteria die when cooked.

●Although some studies have shown that the importance of sterile meals is not great, in fact, some foods themselves are not recommended for raw food, so it can also be regarded as a strengthening of the concept of hygiene.

●Many foods can be eaten by ordinary people, but there is still a chance that they will be contaminated, which will lead to food poisoning.

Especially for patients with low immunity, it will be more troublesome and dangerous to eat.

Aseptic meals can effectively reduce risks, so Lin Guanliang said that if there is a need, it is still recommended to make aseptic meals.
