Travelers Friend - Charcoal

Hotels, airport restaurants and other businesses catering to travelers can be a minefield in picking up food poisoning during the summer season or when travelling abroad. It's about this time of the year; I've taken far more care of what I eat at those so-called "continental breakfast" bars when travelling.

It can truly be a recipe for disaster when it comes to nutrition when either traveling or eating at barbeques. It's difficult to get healthy food anywhere but home and even that is sometimes suspect. So what's a traveler or Barbeque eater to do?

We suggest that everyone should carry a bottle of activated charcoal capsules and take a couple before eating at any restaurant if in a country that has ‘suspicious' cooking habits: the charcoal absorbs many of the toxins found in restaurant food.

Activated charcoal is used in the treatment of certain kinds of poisoning and in the case of travelers or those eating at a barbeque it is specific for food poisoning. It helps prevent the poison from being absorbed from the stomach into the body. Sometimes, several doses of activated charcoal are needed to treat severe poisoning. Taken every 2 - 3 hours at the first sign of symptoms relief can be attained.

When travelling throughout the middle east and Asia charcoal capsules were always the first thing to be stored in my ‘bum bag'!
We suggest you purchase O2b Healthy CHARCOAL to carry with you in your travel bag or have at hand when attending a barbeque this summer.
