BACTERIA IN THE DIGESTIVE TRACT

Our body is the storehouse of all kinds of bacteria it may be good or bad, helpful or destructive. Bacteria largely concentrated in the area of digestive system because of the food we eat. Other places where the germs flourish are on the mouth and lungs.

Echerichia coli cause food-borne illness those that has relation to the food we eat.   Many have died due to kidney failure and bloody diarrhea. The intestine is the center of the infection.

This bacteria commonly found in undercooked, contaminated meats we eat. Other sources of the infection are from raw milk (not pasteurized) and drinking contaminated water from sewage facilities or septic tanks as the repository of all kinds of bacteria.

The germs are found in animal meats especially ground beef. It can be transmitted easily especially if the food is not thoroughly cook or raw meat. The germs lived in the intestines of healthy cattle.

The germs were harmful because it manufactured deadly toxins. Bacterial infection will cause other health conditions to appear if not treated immediately. There will be blood pressure, seizures, paralysis and blindness.

There are many points we can prevent the transmission of the germs into our body by doing the following:

 -Ground beef should be cook thoroughly.

-Don’t eat slightly cooked raw meat, the favorite menu to some people.

-The meat has bacteria. It should not contaminate the kitchen before the preparation of daily meals.

-Ready-to-eat foods should not be mix with raw meat.

- Hot soapy water may help to kill germs in the counter and kitchen utensils.

-Wash the plate thoroughly before placing cooked menu.

-Before the preparation of a menu, wash the meat properly to reduce bacteria concentration.

-Don’t drink raw milk of any kind. It’s better to drink pasteurized milk and juices.

-To kill the pathogens in the juice concentrate, it is recommended to heat it first before you consume.

-Contaminated fruits and vegetables as possible carrier of bacteria. To remove dirt and other contaminants, wash it in the flowing water before cooking or eating some of raw vegetables as salads, etc.

PROPER USE OF ANTIBIOTICS

Use of antibiotics has its own limitation. Abuse of taking this drug can do more harm to the body. Use of antibiotic should be under the supervision of a doctor in order to monitor its frequency of application, the dosage being used, the interaction of the medicine during the duration of the treatment. This kind of monitoring is an assurance that the drug is dispense in accordance to its instructions.

Antibiotics was the principal drugs we used when it comes to infection. It was used before and after infection. Levels of application depend on the degree of infection. This drugs can save lives.

Antibiotic is not effective when it comes to treatment of viral diseases like cold, flu or sore throat. The effectiveness has limitation when the bacteria become resistant to any treatment.

Ordinary infection can be treated effectively but for those disease that are very complicated to treat, other kinds of antibiotic will be used. There are many kinds of antibiotics depending on drug properties for specific purpose to treat infection that cannot be cured with ordinary antibiotic.

Antibiotics is not the solution of everything. It is most beneficial for the treatment of accidental cases where antibiotic is necessary in order to avoid infection. Its effectiveness depend on doctor's prescription indicating the duration of its usage and the degree of its application. If the doctor has instruction to take the medicine based on schedule then it should be followed. The purpose is to control the germs to re-group and multiply again and becoming resistant to any application, making it hard to eradicate them. Patients should be more serious in the degree of the treatment.

There are some ways we can do to avoid being infected easily in our day to day activities. Observing good hygiene is a must. Wash hands before and after meals. Taking a bath daily if possible. Avoid areas having dirty environment. Disinfect it immediately with any solution to kill the germs.

In doing a dirty job, use gloves. Cleanliness are one of the control measures to avoid infection. We should not be dependent with the use of antibiotics if the degree of infection can be manage by using soap and wash it with warm water. Application of disinfectant will follow.

WHY DRUGS IS NOT GOOD FOR US

Witnessing the situation of our society today, we can conclude that harmful drugs became the headline news. In every corners of the globe, this drugs is impossible to control. Most of the users were delinquent teenagers hooked to the use of this prohibited drugs. In continuing this habit may cause dangers to mind and body.

Drugs injured the mind by paralyzing the brain cells where the power of reasoning was located. The degree of the damage was heavy curtailing the ability of the mind to think straight losing its proper coordination. It is fatal to those with heart disease. It increases the pulse rate demoralizing the regular heart beat pattern by altering its good performance.

There are uncontrollable behavior of laughter and threat. This behavior is very dangerous when the mind was disconnected and disrupted. He was in a period of dreamy state with eyes opened, looking somewhere without direction and completely lost in the world of the living. There were tremors in his hand and the body failed to hold anything and losing his strength. His focus was limited with sensitiveness to light.

He cannot walk straight. His body coordination was affected as if he was in a hang-over episode. His eyes became red and sleepy. He talked without direction losing the grip to reality. Dryness to the mouth was visible, nausea and vomiting were common.

No more care was given to his body. Long hair with dirty clothes. He did not mind at all. It was his world, the world of the living dead.

The reason of taking drugs was already deeply rooted in his heart and mind, as if he no longer exist. But it is not the way to justify his action. If this is a sign of protest, this is not the way the human mind work reasonably. He cannot change the world, but he can change his own life if he is willing to lead to the right direction.

We just hope that those delinquent persons may realize that what they did is not a healthful way of living instead a destruction to the inner fabric of their personality.
