Food poisoning: Food poisoning is the cause of death for more than 5000 people in America. If you are not careful, harmful bacteria can find their way in your stomach. Intestinal flu and diarrhea are some of the symptoms of food poisoning, and are very deadly. Usually meat is the main source.

Nice packing doest not make meat sterile. The bacteria in the animals also prevail in their meat and, till it is served, they increase in number. In order to kill the bacteria it is necessary to cook the meat properly so that no red patch is visible.

Liver disease: The main cause of liver problems is an overgrowth in the liver which prevents it from functioning properly. This disease is known as cirrhosis. In a year, about 25000 people die due to liver problems. The common causes are alcoholism and hepatitis C, but some toxins and drugs are damaging to the liver.

If you are an alcoholic, then try to drink in moderation. If you already have some problems due to alcohol, cutting down the amount will help in the prevention of further degradation. Get a check up to ensure that you don’t have hepatitis C. If you do, there are treatments for it. Be careful, as liver damage is irreversible.

AIDS: More than 1 million people are infected with this virus. AIDS can affect anyone and it is an incurable disease.

This disease is generally passed on through sex. So always be careful and use contraceptives. It can also be passed on through used needles.
