“Take care of your health during Ramadan”
Now a days we all are conscious about our health. We always try to maintain balanced diet. Balanced diet helps us to keep fit mentally and physically. During Ramadan it is very crucial and very difficult to maintain good health, due to a long time fasting near about 14-16 hours.  After long time fasting, we do our Iftar by a variety of traditional food and snacks. These traditional foods are made by soyabean oil. Excess soyabean oil affects our alimentary system badly. Initially it affects on mucus layer of our stomach wall, which is very soft and lipophilic (weakness to lipid) in nature. Soyabean oil also contains unsaturated fatty acid chain, which is also lipophilic in nature. As a result there is an interaction or reaction of oil and stomach wall. This reaction is supreme when stomach is empty. When in empty stomach we take this type of oily food, it easily increases health risk.
Following are the major symptom usually faced by maximum people during Ramadan:
1.       Gastric pain.
2.       GERD (Gastro Esophagus Reflex Disease).
3.        Gastric ulcer.
4.       Duodenal pain.
5.       Duodenal ulcer.
6.       IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome).
7.        Constipation.
8.       Abdominal pain.
9.       Abdominal cramping etc.

We must be aware of this type of problem. We should do our Iftar firstly by plenty of water, chira by dissolving in water, rice, fruit juice.
If you are already affected by above mentioned problem, at first go to your nearest medicine shop and describe your problem to registered pharmacist or pharmacy manager. He will give you a H2 blocker or a PPI (proton pump inhibitor).
If your pharmacist gives you a H2 blocker, it must be administered twice daily in empty stomach. After intake of a H2 blocker minimum 15 minutes no food should not be taken.
If your pharmacist gives you a PPI, it must be administered twice daily in empty stomach. After intake of a PPI minimum 30 minutes no food should not be taken.
Strength of unit adult dose of H2 blocker in single unit is 150mg (Ranitidine) and PPI in single unit is 20mg (Omeprazole/Pantoprazole/Lansoprazole/Esomeprazole/Rabeprazole).

"Abdominal Pain" Abdominal pain may be termed as “Stomach cramps are often due to bloating and trapped wind into abdomen. This is an extremely common problem that anyone may suffer from it in any time. But your pharmacist can recommend an over the counter product to relieve the wind. Initially it is not necessary to consult with a physician. If your stomach cramps have started recently and you also have diarrhea, the cause is probably gastroenteritis . This means you have a viral or bacterial infection of the stomach and bowel which your immune system will usually fight off after a few days. Severe stomach cramps and diarrhea that make you feel very ill (for example, causing chills or a fever) could be due to a more serious infection, such as food poisoning . This will usually get better on its own without treatment. You should consider seeing your doctor if: the pain is severe and getting worse you are losing weight you are bleeding from the bowel you hav...

Drinks are Dangerous for Kids !   Currently all soft drinks are very popular to all aged people, especially to Kids. Soft drinks are commonly served to kids, but they have no nutritional value and are high in sugar. Drinking soda and other sugared drinks can cause tooth decay. Colas and other sodas often contain caffeine, which kids don't need. In addition, soft drinks may be taking the place of calcium-rich milk. One study found that, on average, preschoolers drank less than the recommended 16 ounces of milk each day while drinking 8 ounces of soda and fruit drinks (not including 100% fruit juice). If soda habits start when kids are little, chances are they will drink increasing amounts as they get older. In older kids and teens, drinking soda has been linked to excessive weight gain and other problems. That said, many kids like soda and will request it.
