Watch Those Shellfish!

We have heard countless times that seafood has some significant health benefits our bodies could really benefit from. However, once again, it must be eaten in moderation. Shellfish contain a toxic chemical known as domoic acid, and eating too much can lead to “Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning”. Unless you are a member of a coastal fishing community, you should easily be able to limit your consumption of prawns, shrimp, and crabs. Stick to fish like hake, sole, and tuna.

Be Careful with Those Medical Scans

A lot of people refuse to do medical scans and checks because of the feeling and potential side effects that may follow. Like MRIs, other scans involve the use of a dye on the body to provide the medical results needed. However, this dye can lead to Contrast-Induced Nephropathy (CIN), a disease that causes the kidneys to fail for up to three days or more. Though this disease can be reversed, as well as being extremely rare, it can still be critical and harmful to your health.
