Eia nō naʻe, nui ka poʻe i hopohopo e pili ana i ka palekana o ka meaʻai alanui, me ka noʻonoʻo inā palekana ka ʻai ʻana ma Belize. ʻOiai he mau pilikia e pili ana i ka ʻai ʻana i ka meaʻai alanui, hiki ke hauʻoli me ka palekana ma ka mālama ʻana i nā mea e pono ai. Ma kēia ʻatikala, e nānā mākou i ka palekana o nā meaʻai alanui ma Belize a hāʻawi i nā ʻōlelo kōkua no ka hōʻemi ʻana i nā pilikia olakino.
ʻO nā pilikia olakino a me nā mea e mālama ai e noʻonoʻo i ka wā e ʻai ai i nā meaʻai alanui ma Belize
ʻAʻole palekana ka meaʻai alanui ma Belize iā ia iho, akā aia kekahi mau pilikia olakino a me ka mālama ʻana e noʻonoʻo ai. ʻO kekahi o nā pilikia koʻikoʻi e pili ana i ka meaʻai ma ke alanui ʻo ia ka maʻi lawe ʻia mai ka meaʻai, hiki ke hoʻokumu ʻia e ka bacteria, virus, a i ʻole parasites. ʻO nā hōʻailona o ka maʻi i lawe ʻia mai ka meaʻai hiki ke komo i ka nausea, ka luaʻi ʻana, ka ʻōpū, ke kuni, a me ka ʻeha ʻōpū. Pono e hana i nā hana e hōʻemi i kēia mau pilikia ma ka koho ʻana i kahi a me kāu mea e ʻai ai.
Ke koho ʻana i nā mea kūʻai meaʻai ma ke alanui, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka koho ʻana i ka poʻe me ke kiʻekiʻe o ka huli ʻana, no ka mea e hōʻike ana kēia i ka meaʻai he hou a emi ʻole ka lawe ʻana i nā bacteria pōʻino. Eia kekahi, ʻoi aku ka palekana o nā mea kūʻai aku e kuke i ka meaʻai i mua ou no ka mea hiki iā ʻoe ke nānā i kā lākou hoʻomaʻemaʻe a me nā hana mālama meaʻai. He manaʻo maikaʻi nō hoʻi e pale aku i nā ʻiʻo maka a i ʻole i hoʻomoʻa ʻia, no ka mea hiki iā lākou ke lawe i nā maʻi ʻino e like me E. coli a i ʻole Salmonella. ʻO ka hope, e holoi pono i nā huaʻai a me nā mea kanu ma mua o ka ʻai ʻana.
Nā hana a me nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo e hoʻomanaʻo ai i ka ʻai ʻana ma Belize
Ma waho aʻe o ka koho ʻana i kahi a me kāu e ʻai ai, aia kekahi mau hana meaʻai alanui palekana a me nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo e hoʻomanaʻo ai i ka wā e ʻai ai ma Belize. ʻO ka mea mua, pono e hoʻomaʻemaʻe lima ma ka holoi ʻana i kou mau lima ma mua o ka ʻai ʻana. Eia kekahi, e lawe pū me ʻoe i ka mea holoi lima inā ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke holoi i kou mau lima inā pono.

Ma ka mālama ʻana i kēia mau mea mālama a me ka hahai ʻana i nā hana meaʻai alanui palekana, hiki iā ʻoe ke hauʻoli i nā makana meaʻai alanui ʻono a kū hoʻokahi ma Belize me ka liʻiliʻi o ke olakino.
