Our body is home to tons of different microorganisms and bacteria. Most of these bacteria reside in our gut and are known as the gut microbiome. The gut microbiome is essential for absorbing nutrients, supporting the immune system, and maintaining the body's overall health. This is why it is crucial to know which foods to foods could harm your gut health. And one must avoid such foods at all costs to improve overall well-being. Artificial sweeteners Artificial sweeteners and flavors are found in various processed foods. But, when we consume the latter, the former does not break down in the body. Instead, they leave the body undigested and affect the microorganisms in the gut, leading to gas, bloating, and diarrhea, which may be severe based on how much sweetener you have consumed. Studies have also found that consuming artificial sweeteners increases the risk of developing harmful gut bacteria such as E. coli and E. faecalis. When purchasing foods off the shelf, ensure that the foods do not contain artificial sweeteners such as Stevia, sucralose, aspartame, and saccharin. Fried foods Fried foods are unsuitable for the body's overall health and can affect gut health negatively. Fried and oily foods are more difficult to digest than organic foods. Not to mention fried foods also typically contain excessive oil, which contains saturated and trans fats that are difficult to break down, eventually leading to gas, stomach ache, diarrhea, and other symptoms. Excessive saturated and trans fats can also harm the body's cardiovascular health and put you at risk of heart failure, heart attacks, stroke, and other secondary conditions. Meat Red meats such as steaks, bacon, and pork are rich in a compound known as L-carnitine. This compound can alter the bacteria in the gut leading to poor gut health. This alteration can also lead to the development of a substance called trimethylamine N-oxide, more commonly referred to as TMAO. High levels of TMAO in the body can increase the risk of cardiovascular conditions such as heart attacks and stroke. Studies have found that a high intake of red meat can lead to a higher risk of colorectal cancer and bowel diseases. Aside from avoiding certain foods, you can also try supplements to improve gut health. Supplements contain probiotics, collagen, zinc, and other nutrients that can help boost gut bacteria and improve your digestive system.

The world is a magnificent place to live in, but not every individual is blessed with the same luxuries and facilities that are conferred upon us. Innumerable people suffer from manmade and natural catastrophes, the onus of the former falls upon us, whereas, the latter is something we instigated; if there’s drought in some part of the world, the other part is affected by floods; if the people are dying of famine in a certain part of the world, some have lost their homes to war. This is a vicious, never-ending circle of unfortunate events that has become prevalent in recent times. What can one do in such dire circumstances? Well, what Mahatma Gandhi once said “Be the change you want to see in the world” is what you can adhere to, and since charity begins from home, each one of us can recognize ourselves as citizens of the world, and start making efforts to help people in need. If you cannot directly help people in distress, you can get in touch with the best Christian charities and donate clothes, money, food, or anything that the people need. If you wish to donate to a charitable trust, here are some of the best Christian charities to donate to. Compassion International Established in the year 1952 by Rev. Everett Swanson to protect orphans in war-ravaged countries, Compassion International has risen to become one of the best Christain charities to donate to. The children who lived on the streets or were abandoned by the society were sheltered by Compassion International. This Christain charity is dedicated to helping children escape the economic, physical, and spiritual poverty they were previously subjected to. It is imperative for you to understand that poverty goes beyond the deprivation of financial resources or lack of food and clothing, it is being deprived of the hope that there’s an escape for the pathetic living conditions. A21 Campaign Not every child born into this world has the good fortune of being nurtured by a loving family, some of them are victims of horrific acts of human trafficking, sexual slavery, and other forms of slave labor. Christine Caine, an influential speaker, realized that the women who were forced to lead such a demeaning and horrible life needed help to lead a dignified life. Recognizing this problem as an epidemic instead of a mere societal issue, she established the A21 Campaign in 2008 to help women who were sexually abused and forced into slavery. It is quite an appalling fact that slavery still exists in the 21^st century, and we as educated citizens should be the ones putting an end to it. You can donate to this Christain charity to help them provide medical treatment, therapy, legal assistance, and monetary help to the victims. Food for the Hungry (FH) FH, a Christian humanitarian organization, was founded by Larry Ward in 1971, who was left aghast by the fact that 12,000 children were dying of hunger in Haiti and Bangladesh. Food is one of the basic human necessities, and being denied of the basic needs is extremely unjust. FH operates as per biblical values and has arrived at the conclusion that poverty is the result of a fractured relationship between humans and humans, humans and creation, and humans and God. FH is one of the best Christain charities to donate to as it serves the poor in two important ways: by providing food, shelter, and clothing to survivors of natural disasters, and works for long-term economic development within impoverished communities. World Vision This Evangelical Christain humanitarian organization was founded by Bob Pierce in 1950 and is currently active in 97 countries. This Christain charitable organization has dedicated itself to helping the poor: children, families, and communities that are severely impoverished and denied to lead a life with dignity. In fact, World Vision has been actively helping people fight poverty and injustice. Though it is founded in the light of the teachings of Christ, it doesn’t turn a blind eye to the sufferings of people from other religion. You can donate to this Christain charity and help them combat poverty, provide emergency medical facilities, promote economic development, and help spread awareness in other countries. It seems Dr. Seuss hit the bull’s eye when he said “unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.” Show the world you care.

There are several symptoms that come with fire ant stings. The mark that is left by these ants is different from other insect bites. Unlike hives and boils left by mosquitos and other insects, the area is left red and looks like pus filled pimples. Some people may experience extreme symptoms that need to be attended with immediate medical help. These include feeling nauseous, unconsciousness, uneasy breathing and more. However, these serious symptoms only take place when an individual suffers from an allergy or has sensitive skin. An individual who is stung by fire ant stings can use the following home remedies that are very effective and will suppress the pain: Wash with water and aloe vera gel - The sting should be immediately washed with cold water and aloe vera gel. This will soothe the pain and reduce the extreme itching. Also, the affected area should be covered with cotton and bandage and also, prevent scratching or itching with the nails. Apply a cold press - The area that is stung becomes unbearably itchy and a cold press can bring a good amount of relief. Continue to apply the press for 20 to 30 mins and do so every little while. Not only does the cold press bring pain-relief but also helps in reducing inflammation. Apple cider vinegar - The acid that is present in apple cider vinegar can neutralize the allergenic proteins that are left by the sting. Also, the vinegar packs anti-septic properties that reduce inflammation and swelling on the skin. Oatmeal bath - Oatmeal is most popularly used treatment for fire ants. Oatmeal has to be added to a bucket of warm water and stirred. This water should then be then poured onto the body. One can also soak in this water for a while in case of severe symptoms. The procedure can be repeated for a few days until the condition gets better. Stay away from fire ants to avoid stings altogether. In case you come across a nest in your backyard or a trail in your home, call in for pest control help. You may also carry out self-treatment, however, do this with utmost caution.
