We've all experienced it at one time or another... We enjoy a meal out on the town and hours later find ourselves vomiting. Not an enjoyable experience, is it?
When replaying the story to our friends, family and co-workers, we typically will explain how we got "sick." But have you ever stopped to think, were you actually sick or well?
You see, it is a natural, healthy function to rid our body of any harmful, toxic bacteria or viruses that causes food poisoning. Our bodies try to get every last bit of these nasty little particles out by having the stomach contract forcefully to hurl out all it's contents as quickly as possible so that you don't have to suffer any more than necessary. Gross...I know. Painful. But just what the body needs.
So next time you experience an episode of food poisoning, be thankful for the intelligence inside your body that knows to get rid of the harmful particles that could cause much more destruction if not dealt with immediately. Know that your body is well and functioning just as it should given it's circumstances.
