Stomach Infected With Giardia |
Water And Stomach
Problems
People in third world
countries sadly often only have access to water that is highly contaminated,
and as a result, people die every day from the effects of diseases that target
their digestive tracts.
E. coli, salmonella, and
other intestinal parasites, bacteria and viruses can overtake our stomach and
other connected organs necessary for digestion.
While our water in our
civilized country is regulated, we still have to protect ourselves.
Contaminated water supplies are responsible for stomach problems, from small
upsets to severe disorders.
But, making sure water is
filtered within the home as an added safety measure can prevent that.
A few contaminants to watch
out for are lead, mercury, copper, arsenic, atrazine and cadmium. These can
cause diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and other stomach problems.
Most times if water
contaminates are found in a local water supply, it is public knowledge, and
there will be a boiling alert put out by the local water companies until the
problem is under control.
Of course, this does not
happen all too often and for the most part our water is safe. Still, extra
measure can be taken: a small price to pay in exchange a feeling of discomfort.
But, while contaminated
water may be the cause of stomach problems, safe drinking water can be a cure
for others!
There are many ailments
that can arise within and around the stomach, nausea, diarrhea, gas,
constipation and heartburn being a few.
Drinking water can be of
help in several of those cases, and even aid in their prevention. Diarrhea,
watery stool, can cause severe dehydration, so it is important to maintain body
fluid if suffering from that.
On the flipside,
constipation can also use water to help break down the otherwise dry stool.
Since vomiting and diarrhea
go hand in hand with the nausea feeling, this ailment also contributes greatly
to dehydration. Replacing fluids while nauseated is very important.
Heartburn has also been
said to be caused by lack of water, as water could have aided in neutralizing
the acid (pH level) that caused the burning sensation.
Water is also a necessary
element to just plain make sure our digestive tract works properly, which is
sure to prevent stomach problems from occurring in the first place.
Drinking water at mealtime
aids in the digestive process, as it helps move the food through the system.
More importantly, the solid
food we eat cannot be properly digested if it is not broken down. This is where
water comes into play, once again.
Water then acts as the
transportation system to bring the nutrients found in foods to where they are
needed within the body during digestion.
And, it also helps moved
the waste product through the rest of the digestive tract, and ultimately outof our bodies.
Remember that lots of acids
are found within the stomach that mix with the water to break down our foods,
so plenty of water will help keep things balanced!
