The Things I do to get Healthy...

During this modern age of man it is very easy to get carried away with all our luxuries and indulge in things harmful to our body. Lack of exercise, constant digestion of oil foods, and inhalation of harmful substances. If we are what we eat and what we breathe and what we do, then what we are is only as good as our digestion and respiratory system and circulatory system. When goes into us and what we do affects our entire being and lifestyle. It could be mild nausea, asthma attack or obesity but either way it is impossible for us to ignore. What we feel on the outside does not show what is happening on the inside. If conditions persist it can eventually threaten our very lives. Society has made many scientific and technological strides related to our internal systems.

Eating food, there is no guarantee that there is no type of virus within it and eating so much oily foods our digestive system was never meant to handle will only make things worse. A digestive problem that has plagued humans for as long as we can remember, diarrhea, has never been something we could simply ignored. The loss of fluids through diarrhea can cause dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. Although diarrhea normally subsides within 2-3 days, it is the common cause of death in developing countries and the second most common cause of infant deaths worldwide. The most common cause of acute diarrhea is infection; viral, bacterial, and parasitic. Only within the last 50 years have we been able to find some sort of treatment such as Oral rehydration salts and zinc tablets; saving over 50 million children. The importance of technology for a simple has saved the lives of over 5 million people.


How diarrhea can be contracted

Asthma rates among children in the world are substantially higher than they were 20 years ago. Many scientists link this cause between the pollutants and the disease of the airways. Carbon dioxide has been rising since the time of James Watt, inventor of the auto-controlled steam engine which helped jump-start the industrial revolution. Asthma affects a total of 300 million worldwide and society has done many things to develop more advanced treatments. An inhaler is a short-term treatment for asthma created, as it provides patients with an exact amount of medicine each puff.



Societies need to lead a healthy and active lifestyle has made many strides scientifically and technologically. With so many luxuries, sometimes we tend to get carried away and our body begins to diminish. Sometimes because of these luxuries new diseases are formed. In order to make our lifes more fit we have made many great strides to help us!
