Osteoarthritis (OA) is caused by aging joints, injury, and obesity. OA symptoms include joint pain and stiffness. Treatment depends on the affected joint, including the hand, wrist, neck, back, knee, and hip, and involves medication and exercise. If you are overweight, weight loss may improve OA symptoms.
The majority of foodborne illnesses are caused by harmful bacteria and viruses.2 Some parasites and chemicals also cause foodborne illnesses. Bacteria are tiny organisms that can cause infections of the GI tract. Not all bacteria are harmful to humans.
According to the World Health Organization, salmonella bacteria are one of the most common causes of foodborne illness around the world. In the United States alone, 40,000 cases are reported to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) each year, although many more go unrecognized.
