Weak bones in children:
Nowadays, a common problem in children is weak bones and low
stamina. They also get tired soon and are weaker usually. One of the reason
is that they don’t get an adequate amount of milk or they don’t have access to
pure milk. Which causes weakness of
bones, teeth, brain development, pains, slow growth and loss of immunity in
children. It also results in the weakness of finger nails.
Role of parents
and beverages:
Rather than milk availability, we are going to share an
interesting and sad issue that how parents are playing with the health of
their children. As we know that beverage industries are increasing rapidly and
advertisement of beverages is played on from television screens to flexes in common streets. It has become a common drink in homes with
meals and in gatherings. But scientifically proven that it is not good for the
health of children and persons at any age. It causes weakness of bones and
teeth in children. It also decreases the stamina of growing children and that is
a reason nowadays they do not take an active part in sports activities and are
indulged in electronic devices.
Increase in bone-related problems in hospitals:
Dr Mahmood Saleem tells DSUAF in an interview that
beverages have made the bones weak and people don’t consume milk now which
meets the requirement of calcium. By these cases of bone-related problems has
increased in hospitals. He further says that parents should avoid their
children to drink beverages.
Parathyroid gland
and beverages:
Parathyroid gland releases PTH and its function is to
dissolve bone contents to blood.
Beverages speed up this process and bones are dissolved rapidly in blood
and after that, it is excreted through the body by the excretory system. This is the
reason by which bones and teeth are becoming weaker.
Tea and the old agers:
Usually, old people like to take tea and coffee frequently as
the caffeine present in it makes them feel better. Experts say that in
drinks like tea the calcium effect is reduced. So the people of old age must
consume dairy products or calcium supplements with the recommendation of their registered
physician.
Use of soda bottles in Aftari after fasting the whole day:
Nowadays in the Holy month of Ramadan, the duration of fast is
almost 15-16 hours. In this time period, our stomach is completely empty and
often people consume soda beverages mixed with milk in Aftari. Phosphoric acid
in the soda causes milk proteins to stick with each other. It changes the
composition of milk. And the calcium present in milk is no more useful for the
body. Therefore, it is recommended to consume fresh juices, pure milk, buttermilk and freshwater in Aftari.
Drinking soda bottles empty stomach is harming as the acid
present in the soda bottle will react with the walls of the stomach and will
also cause acidity in the stomach. Thus, causing pain in the stomach,
indigestion, bloating, heat burn and triggers the acid reflux. As it upsets the
acid-alkaline balance of the stomach and disturbs the gastric linings.
Conclusion:
We should be careful about what we are feeding to our body. We
should use fresh and natural juices. These fresh juices are nutritious, healthy
and beneficial for the human body. Milk and dairy products must be included in the
daily diet to meet the calcium requirement of the body. As calcium is essential for the functioning and growth of the body.
