parents are often confronted with the notion of acidosis, shrug, completely no idea what it means.
But it affects the stability and health of the body, especially a newborn! On this day and talk.
Acidosis - acid-base balance of the body, wherein the excess acid is observed. Sometimes acidosis called "acidification" of the body.
note:Acid-alkaline balance - the ratio of the ratio of acid and alkali in the blood, which is characterized by a special indicator pH (power Hidrogen - «Hydrogen force"). If the pH = 7.0 - a neutral medium of from 6.9 to 0 - an acidic, alkaline medium has a high level of pH 7.1 to 14.0.
In the first days of life Acidosis is a physiological condition. This is due to the increased resistance to hypoxia during labor. Difficult childbirth in the newborn develops uncompensated acidosis caused by asphyxia. The danger to life occurs when the pH is below 7.1. In this case, we need emergency resuscitation. Urgent therapy with acidosis performed immediately - intravenously injected 4% solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate (soda).
In children older acidosis develops when there is abuse of flour in a child's diet products, a variety of pastries, junk food, white bread, eggs, cheese, fats and oils of animal origin.
Parents should be kept under close supervision of the power of their baby and the appearance of symptoms such as lethargy, increased respiratory rate, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, sleep disturbance, immediately consult a specialist to determine the cause of their occurrence.
How dangerous acidosis
We are with you every day, eat a variety of foods. And depending on what we eat, our blood becomes either acidic or alkaline. In the initial stages of the shift in the acid "side", our body tries to cope with the problem on their own. However, there comes a time when its reserves depleted and hyperacidity violates the metabolic processes. By the way, for the maintenance of acid-base balance in the human body responsible kidney that remove the excess acid. This principle is built diagnostic method using lakmusnyh strips degree of coloring of which depends on the degree of acidity of urine.
The causes of acidosis in adults are unhealthy diet and stress. As a consequence of increased risk of heart attack, hypertension, osteoporosis, diabetes and atherosclerosis. Prolonged acidosis can cause hypothyroidism, headaches, anxiety, insomnia, lowering blood pressure, gastritis, ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease and cystitis, fluid retention body. It may also provoke blood clots. Due acid accumulation in joints develop arthritis or gout. In addition, acidosis - "faithful companion" of women who strongly passionate about diets and long starving.
Prevention and Treatment
The first and most important rule is to be followed, so as not to "earn" acidosis - a balanced diet.
If the baby is still diagnosed acidosis, the basis of his diet should be the correct selection of products containing proteins, fats and carbohydrates. In other words, the food must contain a lot of plant foods, freshly squeezed vegetable and fruit juices, berries and fruit infusions, compotes.
Products that alkalized blood: plums, grapefruit, cucumber, dill, parsley, broccoli, garlic, zucchini, carrots, flaxseed and olive oil. By the way, in Greece because of the ingestion of large amounts of greens and olive oil, so many healthy and long-lived.
Products that are oxidized blood sugar, walnuts, white flour, pasta, turkey, pork, veal, beef liver, hard cheese, ice cream.
