my grandad has dementia and my mum has got stomach ulsers does that mean that i am prone to getting them?

Answer 1

May be yes may be no, but you have higher chance to get them. You have to take preventative measures when you are young and keep yourself healthy. Drink more water and have good diet is very important for everyone.

Why water is necessary

1. Our bodies contain over 70 percent water.

2. You can go longer without food than water.

3. Our bodies need a lot of water to function efficiently.

4. Water helps flush out harmful toxins and thus readies the body for fat loss.

When your body is not getting enough water

~It tries to hold on to the water it has. Since over 70 percent of our muscle is made of water, the lack of it makes our body use the existing water for other functions, leaving you bloated.

~How do you get rid of that excess water? By drinking enough water!

Hot or cold water?

~Many experts tend to advocate cold water, because the stomach absorbs it more quickly.

They believe that cold water might enhance fat burning.

~Warm water is, however, easier to drink in large quantities and you might drink more of it without even realising it. Do whatever suits you, here. Just drink more!

How much water?

You must drink at least seven to eight glasses (1.9 litres) of water a day.


Water, also known as the body's solvent, regulates all bodily functions including the activities of circulating and dissolving. Every enzymatic and chemical reaction of the body occurs in the presence of water. Water also transports hormones, nutrients, oxygen and antibodies through the blood stream and lymphatic system. In addition, our bodies' proteins and enzymes are more efficient in solutions of lower viscosity (i.e., diluted), thus drinking water a must

Water helps to: Relieve/Prevent: lower back pain, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, headaches, migraines, asthma, allergies, colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, depression, hypertension, cholesterol, hangovers, neck pain, muscle pain, joint pain, bloating, constipation, ulcers, low energy levels, stomach pain, confusion and disorientation.

Maintain: muscle tone, weight loss, clear and healthy skin.

Regulate: body temperature, remove toxins and wastes, cushion and lubricate joints, decrease risk of kidney stones, protect tissues, organs and the spinal cord from shock and damage.

Assist In: the digestion & absorption of food, and in transporting oxygen and nutrients to the cells.


Drink alkaline water is very good to our body. Did you know what is alkaline water?



WHAT IS ALKALINE WATER?

One of the longest-lived race of people in the world are called the Hunza. These people, located in the northern Pakistan, are found in several high-altitude mountain valleys. Many Hunza claim to be 150 years old; many others are documented centenarians (over age one hundred). For many years, scientists have pondered the mystery of what makes them so healthy, for they rarely suffer the diseases the rest of us know so well. Some researchers are beginning to believe that the Hunza miracle derives from the water that they drink. The mountain water that flows into the Hunza villages comes from the surrounding glaciers. Structured hexagonally, this water is filled with mineral solutes, and it tests out as highly alkaline

As we have said before, the body uses the blood stream system to dispose of wastes; these are removed in liquid form, and are often deposited in the lungs and kidneys. If there are too many wastes to handle, they are deposited in various organ systems, like the heart, or the pancreas, or the liver, or the colon, or in other locations. Sometimes theses wastes are left on the walls of arteries, and over the years can spread throughout the body.

The break-down of this disposal process, especially of acid wastes, is how we define the aging process. To slow down and reverse this direction, one must begin removing acid wastes from the body.

The best way we have found to do this is to drink alkaline water. This water, having a pH of between of 9 and 11, will first neutralize harmful stored acid wastes, and if you consume it every day, will gently remove them from your body. Yet, since the water is ionized, it will not leach out valuable alkaline minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium, or sodium.

Japanese doctors have treated their patients for over four decades with alkaline water. They believe that the immune system looses its power to throw off disease when the body becomes too acidic. They advocate drinking alkaline water, eating alkaline foods.

Asian medicine assigns two categories to human diseases: communicable and adult. Contagious or communicable diseases are caused by viruses and bacteria. Influenza, the common cold, aids, plagues, all fall into this category, and medical doctors are quite proficient at treating them. Adult diseases include heart disease, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, gout, arthritis, kidney diseases, hemorrhoids, asthma, hay fever, allergies, obesity, tooth and gum disease, skin disorders, and many others.

They are caused by poor circulation, by deficient cellular activity, and by the accumulation of acid wastes in the body. Asian medicine says that many adult diseases can be treated by alkalizing the bloodstream.

Medicine of America does not attempt to remove acid wastes from the physiological system; so today's modern medicine is rather deficient in treating adult diseases. Even if the medicine cures the disease, if acids are not removed from the body, the treatment's effectiveness will at best only be temporary.


Uses of Alkaline Water:

*Raises drinking water's pH to approximately 7.5
*Binds heavy metals.
*Removes chlorine.
*Hinders growth of bacteria.
*Adds ionic coral calcium and essential minerals to water.

-Fact: If your body's pH is not balanced, you cannot effectively assimilate vitamins, minerals and food supplements.

-Fact: There is more calcium in the body than any other mineral. 20% of an adults bone calcium is reabsorbed and replaced every year.

*Maintain optimum alkalinity for optimum health
*Provide you easily absorbed and usable calcium
*Cleanse the kidneys, intestines and liver
*Maintain stronger bones and healthier teeth
*Alleviate insomnia
*Keep your heart beating regularly
*Help metabolize your body's iron
*Aid your nervous system
*Breakdown heavy metals and drug residues in your body
*Neutralize harmful acids that lead to illness
*Achieve a healthy alkaline level, neutralizing acid
*Protect your body from free radical damage
*Control digestive problems
*Increase muscle and joint mobility
*Combat arthritic conditions and heart disease
*Regulate blood sugar levels and blood pressure

Answer 2

Your grandfather's dementia may have a lot of root causes. I hope he's under a doctor's care and has been evaluated for other reasons besides a possible Alzheimer's. Lots of diseases can cause dementia, including urinary tract infections, thyroid deficiencies, and strokes. If these are treated, the dementia may disappear. Alzheimer's is a progressive dementia and has no cure.

Stomach ulcers: can be from worry... if your grandfather has dementia, that's a huge worry, besides what all else is in her life! Stomach ulcers can also be caused by a bacteria which is curable by an antibiotic. She should get them checked and treated.

Are you prone to getting either dementia or ulcers? It depends on what caused your grandfather's and mother's physical ailments, and also on your own health.

Answer 3

Yes, because you are eating the same food, same kind of taste, less fiber, more meat, more sugar, more caborhydrate etc... Unless you change your diet than you will be less prone to getting them. Maintain a cleaner bowel system by taking more raw veg and fruits, less intake of meat, carbohydrate, process food etc... Take some natural fiber everyday to cleanse your colon. In other word, minimize acidity food and eat more alkaline food. I used to have stomach ulsers problem. Now it is gone after taking the fiber drink daily.

Answer 4

Some conditions do have a genetic link, but not all do. Enviroment has a lot to do with some diseases. It all depends on the cause of the illness. if you worry about it excessively you may drive yourself to an ulcer. the biggest point is that you are aware of your family health history so you can take preventative measures while you are young to keep yourself healthy.

Answer 5

Probably. But, you can guard against severe cases of these maladys by eating a good died, stay away from a harmful lifestyle, don't drink (or modestly) don't smoke. Live one day at the time and don't worry so much.

Answer 6

Health concerns are very often hereditary, but just as often they are environmental. If you have concerns that you may be prone to these conditions that your relatives have, you are probably right. You should do what you can now to reduce your risks.
