canned food

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia, Hutchinson 0.07 sec.
canned food
food sterilized by heat in a closed, durable container such as tin and aluminum cans, flexible aluminum foil and thermoplastic containers including squeeze tubes. Technically, the processes used are highly efficient and used universally. Problems occur rarely but their identification is an important part of food hygiene. The problems arise either with the sterilization of the container or its contents, or because the container leaks after closure, permitting infection to occur. If the contained material contains toxins when it is first added to the can they will still be there when the can is opened.

Patient discussion about canned food.

Q. Is there any food which can help me to have a good sleep? I do not get a good sleep and I fear that soon I will be diagnosed for insomnia. Already it is making me depressed and stressful. My friend has advised me to meet the doctor. I do not want to have sleep pills. I have tried to get sleep by doing exercise so though it makes me tired to have enough sleep. But it has not helped. I want to know that is there any food which can help me to have a good sleep.

A. I have had problems with sleep on and off for years. My best nights sleep happen when I do not eat at least 3 hours before bed, no alcohol, and exercising before bed just revs you up and causes you not to be able to sleep, it has the opposite affect that you think it would have. I do take generic Benydryl some nights after a stressfull day and it helps with no sleepness the next day if you take it at least 8 hours before bed. I also found the more I worried that I would not sleep were the worst nights and please turn the clock away from you, do not look at it even if you are still awake it will just stress you out more thinking you only have some many hours left to get some sleep. I know this is long but I hope you start getting a good nights sleep without meds.

Q. Do any foods cause psoriasis? What can I change in my diet to prevent psoriasis? I suffer with psoriasis on my neck. I was wondering, if it can flare up when I eat certain foods? I've tried ointments but nothing is working. I couldn't get a doctor's appointment until mid-November. What can I do to help myself now?

A. Stay away from nuts, milk products, dark red meat, wheat based products, sugar, acid filled fruits and vegetables and alcohol. You can have turkey, fish, wheat free products, herbal tea, green vegetables and drink plenty of clean filtered water.

Q. We wanted to give some food which can stop his crave for over drinking of alcohol? My alcoholic brother is trying hard to leave on his alcohol. Six months before he was found with high alcohol abuse and luckily he showed a good response during his diagnosis questionnaire. But that has not solved his problem. He still craves alcohol in his blood. We wanted to give some food which can stop his crave for over drinking of alcohol. We have noticed that after taking alcohol he cannot stop and takes it in higher dosage. How can we help him in this?

A. i don't think any diet can help you avoid detox. some can help your brother in handling the detox outcomes, such as vomiting and nausea . but the detox itself- he has no choice but to go through. any way good nutrition should be considered in order to help the liver heal.
