cause indigestion, bloating and acid

Most of the people these days dream to have a sexy and slimmer body, but they are
not even aware that some activities that they are actually doing may cause bloated
stomach.

You are not pregnant and you don’t actually gain weight. A lot of these people
suffered from the feeling of being bloated even after they eat. So, what is happening?

These are the habits that you have to avoid after consuming any meals:

Drinking a lot of water with your meal

Water is important but drinking a lot of water along with your meals can actually lead
to indigestion and it will make you feel bloated afterwards.

Solution: Consume a lot of water either an hour before or after your meals. Just take a
small sip on a glass of water during your meal.

Consuming a lot of starch and protein together

Protein is known to have the ability to slow the rate of digestion and starches digest
much faster into simple sugars.

Solution: Consume your starch first before eating protein. You can also have a small
serving of starch with protein but don’t take too much of it.

Drinking ice-cold water with your meal

Ice cold water tightens the blood vessels, therefore, it prevents the ability of the body
to digest food easily and absorb more nutrients. It will solidify the fats that you
already consumed which will eventually lead to difficulty in digesting.
Solution: Consume water at a room temperature. You can also order hot water or
green tea before eating your meal.

Here is a list of 5 things that you should not do after
eating lunch or dinner:
1. Do not smoke a cigarette after eating a full meal
We are all aware that smoking is one of the bad vices and is extremely harmful to our health,

but most of the people still continue do this terrible habit even right after they are done eating their meal.

It very necessary to wait for a few hours after eating your meal before smoking a cigarette

due to the fact that cigarettes contains nicotine which can bind to the excess oxygen

that is essential for digestion, this allows your body to absorb more carcinogens than the usual.

Studies have shown that smoking right after a meal is equal to smoking 10 cigarettes at once. In addition,
this will actually boost your risk of having lung and bowel cancer.

2. Don’t go for walks immediately after a meal

It’s quite natural to think that once we eat a meal and walk it out quickly, it will burn the calories that we
just consumed.

Brisk walking post meal is a not a very good idea. Or go if you really want to, but then you’ll have some
serious acid re-flux and indigestion;

if that’s what you want. You can go for a walk after a meal, sure, but after at least 10 minutes please.
Then it is perfectly healthy.

The reason is very simple- after the meal, our digestion process is all ready to go. Digestive juices are
released in the stomach and intestine.

This is the time when the stomach and intestine need most blood supply to carry on this process
smoothly. Hence, the blood flow needs to be directed to this area for better digestion.

If we perform any vigorous activity as simple as brisk walking after the meal, the blood circulation gets
directed to our extremities which compromises the blood flow to the core region of the body, thus
hampering the digestive processes.

3. Going to Sleep right after a meal

The problem with eating after sleeping is that your body is most comfortable digesting food in an upright
position, allowing it to absorb food easily.

So unless you catch your zzz’s standing up like a horse, sleeping after eating is going to muddle with the
digestion process which can lead to a mass of digestive diseases.

If you are about to go to bed just right after eating a meal, you will be experiencing discomfort, bloating
and other sleeping patterns which can cause your stomach to burn during the night.
The University of Loannina Medical School has conducted a research study which proved that people
who waited for a longer period of time before going to bed

after a meal are those who have less risk of experiencing a stroke. Therefore, you have to make sure not
to eat at least a few hours before going to bed.

The bottom line is that sleeping after eating causes digestive problems because you’re not in an upright
position which is the preferred way for your body to digest food.

4. Taking a bath or swimming right after eating

When you bathe, your surface temperature changes according to the temperature of the water you use.

When the water makes contact with your skin, your brain processes this change in body temperature as
an immediate need

to direct blood to your skin and bring your temperature back to normal. If you use cold water, your blood
vessels dilate.

As large volumes of blood flow to your skin, your body temperature increases and normalizes.

If you take a hot shower instead, the blood vessels in your skin dilate to dissipate the excess heat.

This in turn causes more blood to flow to your skin.This will make your digestive system weak and might
lead to stomach pain. So it is better to wait atleast 30 mins before taking a bath or swimming.

5. Drinking tea immediately after eating

You should not drink tea just right after you had a dinner or lunch due to the fact that it will only interfere
with

the iron absorption in your body. The tea contains tannic acid that binds with iron and protein in our food.

It is scientifically proven that in most cases results to 87% decrease in iron absorption.

Iron deficiency can cause anaemia which result to pale skin, poor appetite, chest pain, cold feet and
hands, dizziness, weakness and an extreme fatigue.

In conclusion, there are certain things that you should avoid doing just right after having a meal. Make
sure to have some time

and leave some space to your digestive system before smoking, eating fruits, sleeping, showering and
drinking tea.

Mayroong iba’t ibang klase ng mga sakit at karamdaman na maaaring

maranasanan ng kahit na sinong tao sa kanilang buong buhay. Ang ilan sa
mga ito ay maaaring mabigyan ng lunas sa tulong ng mga gamot at natural na
pamamaraan. Sa kabilang banda, ang ilan naman sa kanila ay talagang
malala at kinakailangan ng matinding pagsusuri at ang iba pa nga ay
sumasailalim sa operasyon. Kaya’t nararapat lamang na alagaan ng tao ang
kanilang pangangatawan upang hindi humantong sa ganitong kalagayan.

Isa ka ba sa mga tao na kilala bilang acidic? Lingid sa kaalaaman ng

nakararami na ang pagiging acidic ay nangangahulugan lamang na ikaw ay
mayroong problema sa iyong pangangatawan at sinasabing ito ay hindi
malusog. Kapag ang katawan ng isang tao ay acidic o sobra ang taglay na
acid sa loob nito, ito ay may malaking tyansa na magkaroon ng iba’t ibang
klase ng mga sakit at karamdaman. Mayroon ding mga pagkakataon na kung
saan ang mga importante at mahahalagang parte ng iyong katawan at maging
ang mga buto nito ay makulangan sa kanilang mga kinakailangan na vitamins
at minerals. Ang mga minerals na ito ay kagaya na lamang ng potassium,
calcium, sodium, at magnesium na maaaring maging sobrang mababa at
magresulta sa pagkakaroon ng sakit na acidosis.

Ang acidosis ay hindi isang simple at maliit na problema lamang, hindi ito
dapat balewalain at hindi bigyan ng tamang pansin. Ang kahit na anong uri ng
sakit ay dapat bigyan ng pansin at gawan ng paraan upang agad na
malunasan. Hindi mo malalaman kung kailangan lalabas ang sintomas na
mayroon ito at kung sakaling ito ay lalabas, hindi mo malalaman kung ano
ang maaari mong gawin upang malunasan ito. Kaya lubhang mahalaga na
magkaroon ng kaalaman patungkol sa mga ganitong uri ng sakit upang hindi
mahirapan at malunasan ito sa lalong madaling panahon.

Ang mild acidosis o poor pH balance ay maaaring

maidulot ang mga sumusunod:
 Ito ay maaaring makapagdulot ng immune deficiency
 Ito ay magdudulot ng pananakit ng leeg o stiff neck, sciatica at lumbago.
 Ito ay makapagbibigay ng problema sa oral kagaya na lamang ng
pagkakaroon ng cavities at inflamed sensitive gums.
 Ito ay maaaring makapagdulot ng problema sa respiratory system at
pagkakaroon ng cough o ubo.
 Ito ay makapagdudulot ng sobrang pagkapagod o fatigue at mababang
antas ng enerhiya.
 Ito ay makapagbibigay ng problema o sakit sa puso.
 Ito ay nakapagdudulot ng impeksyon sa parehong bladder at kidney.
 Ito ay nakapagdudulot ng sakit na osteoporosis.
 Ito ay maaaring makapagdulot ng nausea o pagduduwal, vomiting o
pagsusuka at pagkalito o confusion.
 Ito ay nakapagbibigay ng pananakit ng ulo o headache at pagiging antukin
o sleepiness.
 Ito rin ay maaari ring makapagdulot ng allergies at pagkakaroon ng acne.
 Ito ay isa sa mga dahilan ng pagkakaroon ng joint pain at pagsakit ng
kalamnan o aching muscles.
 Ito ay nakapagdudulot ng premature aging o pagkakaroon ng wrinkles.
 Ito ay isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit nagiging obese ang isang tao at bakit
nadadagdagan ang kanilang timbang.
 At higit sa lahat, ito ay nakapagdudulot ng pagdami at paglaki ng yeast
fungal.
Ang dairy, grains, meats at sugar o asukal ay kilala bilang mga pagkain na
siyang nakapagdudulot ng pagkakaroon ng acid sa katawan. Ito rin ang uri ng
mga pagkain na madalas na kinakain ng mga tao sa pang araw araw, ito ay
madalas na nasa almusal, tanghalian at hapunan. Kapag ang metabolism ay
kasalukuyang nagproproseso, ang katawan ng tao ay naglalabas ng acidic
waste products na kinakailangang ineutralize o pigilan at iexert o ilabas. At
upang magawa at maging possible ang bagay na ito, kinakailangan ng tao na
mas kumain ng mga pagkain na mayroong taglay na alkaline.

Ang kasalukuyang antas ng acidification ay maaaring malaman sa tulong at

sa pamamagitan ng pH testing. At upang malaman o masukat ang healthy
average pH, ito ay dapat nasa pagitan ng sukat na 6.75 hanggang sa 7.25.

Upang mapabuti ang iyong alkalinity at upang maiwasan o malunasan ang

problema sa acidity, kailangan mong tandaan ang mga sumusunod:
 Kinakailangan mong alisin sa iyong diet ang mga pagkain na mayroong
taglay na acid.
Uminom ka ng tamang dami ng tubig, ang nirerekomenda na dami ng
tubig na dapat inumin ng isang tao sa isang araw ay umaabot sa walong
(8) baso ng tubig o higit pa.
 Kinakailangan mo ring madalas na icheck ang antas at kalagayan ng
iyong pH.
Haluan mo ang iyong pang araw araw na pagkain ng mga green leafy
vegetables at ilang mga prutas upang mapabuti ang kalusugan ng
katawan.
 Bawasan mo rin ang pagkain ng mga processed foods na hindi maganda
para sa katawan ng tao.
Palitan mo ang parehong soda at coffee ng herbal tea at green drinks na
di hamak na mas masustansiya at nakatutulong para sa kalusugan ng
katawan.
 Maaari mo ring subukan ang pagkonsumo ng coconut milk o almond milk
kaysa ang tradisyunal na dairy milk na madalas na kinokonsumo ng mga
tao.
 Bukod pa riyan, dapat lang din na iwasan at bawasan ang bisyo na
madalas mong ginagawa kagaya na lamang ng madalas at sobrang
paginom ng alak at maging ang paninigarilyo sapagkat wala naman itong
naidudulot na maganda para sa katawan at kalusugan ng isang tao.
Mas maganda kung aalagan mo ang iyong katawan ng mabuti upang hindi
magdusa o magkaroon ng mga sakit na siyang magpapahirap sa iyo sa
paglipas ng panahon. Ang pagkakaroon ng sakit ay lubhang magastos at
talagang mabubutas ang iyong bulsa, wala rin namang tao ang may
kagustuhan na magkaroon ng kahit na anong uri ng sakit. Kaya palakasin mo
ang iyong katawan at alagaan ito ng mabuti upang hindi na gumastos at
mamoblema pa. Sabi nga nila “prevention is better than cure.” Agapan mo na
ito habang maaga pa upang hindi magsisi sa huli. Ang iyong kalusugan ang
natatangi yaman na mayroon ka. Huwag mo itong balewalain at pahalagahan
mo ito ng mabuti.

8 Signs of mouth cancer that are

extremely easy to ignore. Very
important to know.
BY ADMIN · PUBLISHED AUGUST 22, 2017 · UPDATED APRIL 13, 2018

Since everyone is prone of getting mouth cancer, we all need to remember

the signs so that we can effortlessly identify and be prepared to know the
beginning of cancer symptoms.

Although the exact cause of oral cancer is unclear, there are certain lifestyle
factors that can put someone at risk for this disease.

Tobacco of any kind – cigarettes, cigars, pipes and smokeless tobacco –

increase your risk for oral cancer. In fact, the Mouth Cancer
Foundation reports 90 percent of those with oral cancer consume tobacco.

Heavy use of alcohol also increases a person’s chances of developing oral

cancer, and the NIDCR says your risk is even higher when using both tobacco
and alcohol.

Here are the signs and symptoms of mouth

cancer that you have to know:
SIGN 1: Sores on/in your Mouth
Sores that can be found in your mouth might be cancerous are commonly flat,
painless patches in the inside flesh of your mouth.
According to Cancer Treatment Centers of America, they may have the color
of white or red.

Possible cancerous sores may not actually hurt, but they might have the
ability to bleed without warning or explanation. Any kind of sores that lasts for
more than three weeks needs an opinion and consultation of a doctor.

SIGN 2: Lumps and Thick Patches

Both of lumps and thick patches of the skin inside of the mouth could point out
that your mouth cancer is starting to develop.

You might actually feel these kind of changes with your tongue. They might
feel like bubbles and ridges, or a bit like calluses.

It is best if you go to a doctor once you feel this symptoms.

SIGN 3: Loose Teeth

If you feel sometimes that, your teeth are jiggly; you have to get a medical
opinion and consultation as soon as possible.

Even going to the dentist is a positive move, since they can at least give you
an idea of what is causing all of this.

There are numerous reasons behind the loosening of your teeth, but only a
medical professional can determine if cancer is the reason behind it.

SIGN 4: Lump in your Throat

A lump in your throat, which is often called as “globus sensation” is the feeling
of having something that is trapped in your throat that you just cannot
swallow.

You might even find that swallowing itself becomes hard and difficult.

It is a very usual symptom, and commonly there is nothing to worry about,

but you have to consult your doctor if you actually feel like you cannot swallow
properly, and if you feel or see a lump in both of your mouth and throat
or if you are finding that food and liquids are coming back up.

In this circumstance, there might be a real mass, which blocks your throat, not
just the sensation of one.

SIGN 5: Pain in one Ear

Pain that you are feeling in one of your ears might be an unexpected symptom
of a developing cancer in your mouth.

The reason behind it is that, your ears are actually extremely related to both of
the mouth and throat, and it is very usual for pain to refer back through the
ears if there is a problem in the mouth cavity.

Just like what Men’s Health have said, the nerve that communicates with the
back of the tongue also communicates with our ears, which is why your ears
might notice the pain first.

SIGN 6: Numbness in your Mouth or Tongue

The numbness feeling in your mouth might actually indicate that you suddenly
lose sensation in just one part of your mouth such as the cheek of the tip of
your tongue.

It might also mean that you have lose some or all of your sense of taste.

Numbness usually occurs when the nerve signals are being interrupted,
possibly by a mass of a patch of abnormal cells.

You might not actually feel at first that the numbness is happening, so you
have to watch out for secondary symptoms, which include drooling or difficulty
in chewing.

SIGN 7: Trouble Moving your Jaw

A feeling of pain in the jaw is a usual symptom, and it is commonly a sign of
mild condition such as temporomandibular joint disorder or TMJ.
Nonetheless, consider it as a serious warning sign when the pain in your jaw
and tightness has been accompanied with swelling and the feeling that your
teeth or dentures are not fitting together properly.

That combination of symptoms might indicate the there is something that is

disrupting the normal movement of your jaw from the inside that eventually
causes pain and lack of mobility.

SIGN 8: Thick or Slurred Speech

Any kind of vocal changes are an essential symptom that everyone should be
aware of. If your voice suddenly becomes guttural or scratchy,

it might actually indicate that there is something wrong in your throat or at the
back of your mouth, while slurred, clumsy speech could indicate problems
with both of the tongue and lips.

If you have notice either of these symptoms, particularly in combination with

other symptoms, immediately schedule an appointment with your general
practitioner or an ear, nose, and throat specialist.

Moreover, do not forget to SHARE this important information with your friends
and family!
