Food poisoning is often diagnosed based on a detailed history, including how
long you've been sick, your symptoms and specific foods you've eaten. Food
poisoning often improves without treatment within 48 hours. To help keep
yourself more comfortable and prevent dehydration while you recover, try the
following:
• Let your stomach settle. Stop eating and drinking for a few hours.
• Try sucking on ice chips or taking small sips of water. You might also try
drinking clear soda, clear broth or non-caffeinated sports drinks, such as
Gatorade. You're getting enough fluid when you're urinating normally and your
urine is clear and not dark.
• Ease back into eating. Gradually begin to eat bland, low-fat, easy-to-digest
foods, such as soda crackers, toast, gelatine, bananas and rice. Stick with
bland foods to reduce stress on your digestive system. Stop eating if your
nausea returns.
• Avoid certain foods and substances until you're feeling better. These
include dairy products, caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, and fatty or highly
seasoned foods.

The following text is for questions 25 to 27
There is no doubt that smartphones have become an integral part of day to day
life for many people. Most of us feel lost when we don’t have our smartphone
somewhere about our person and many people spend a huge amount of time each
day on their phones. While smartphones have certainly made life easier in many
ways for the average person, there are a number of downsides to spending hours
each day glued to your smartphone, yet worryingly this is something that many
people do.
One of the things you have to be mindful of is the effect this can have on
your health. Smartphones tend to have pretty small screens compared to other
devices such as tablets and laptops. This means that you have to focus more,
which means putting greater strain on your eyes. This not only affects your
vision but can result in headaches and other health problems.
Another major effect of spending too much time on your smartphone is that it
can cause problems with your relationship. If you spend all of your time with
your phone glued to your hand rather than paying attention to your partner, it
will naturally create issues. There should be a time and a place for casual
smartphone use, and doing it while settling down to watch a movie with your
partner is definitely not the right time. Of course, if you receive or need to
make a call on your phone, it is not such a big issue.
Finally, you need to consider the fact that many people actually become
addicted to using their smartphones, and no addiction is ever a good one. The
last thing you want to do is develop an addiction to smartphone use and this
is something that is surprisingly easy to develop. Even some children have
become addicted to using their smartphones, so you really need to be careful
with regards to how much you use your device.
