If the liquids we drink end up in the stomach, how does our stomach acid not get thinned down by the constant flow of liquid?
In: Biology
It does. Have you ever had a heartburn? Or gastritis? All these things happen when acidity of our stomach is not in balance and often it can happen when drinking too much fluid that doesn’t have minerals. Specially if you don’t eat enough.
So if you feel sick and don’t eat properly / enough, and you drink too much water, your stomach acids get messed up so they don’t stay down and instead they rise up (even to your throat).
That is why when people puke they drink rehydration drinks, so they can replace minerals and electrolytes. That is also why people take probiotics when they use antibiotics.
Basically our stomachs are most important organ after brain and heart because if your stomach gets messed up it messes almost every other system and organ in our body. You feel weak, your vision blurs, your skin gets horrible, your heart has to work twice as hard, your brain gets foggy, your kidneys and liver have to work double shift, you may experience vertigo, Merniere disease and tinnitus. And it takes almost as long to recuperate after stomach issues as it takes to recover from other serious conditions.
Off: i speak from personal experience where it took me almost 3 months to get my body to normal state after bad gastritis episode, and because of which I thoroughly researched gastritis and stomachs and everything about them
