Lactose intolerance in the United States

admin — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 03:20:45 +0000

It is believed that thirty and fifty million Americans are are lactose intolerant. Lactoste intolerance is the inability to digest the main sugar found in milk. It is sometimes hard to diagnose.
The embarrassing and sometimes painful symptoms can range from mild to severe, and depend on many factors. There are a few ways that lactose intolerance can be diagnosed, even in infants.
There are some well known causes of lactose intolerance, and some not so well known causes. Lactose intolerance is common but it need not detract from a person’s ability to live a healthy life.

As many as eighty to 100 percent of African Americans, Native Americans and Asian Americans are lactose intolerant to some degree. It is treated with limiting trigger foods, or taking a
lactase enzyme supplement with the first bite of food. The most well known cause of lactose intolerance is that as a person ages their body naturally produces less lactase. People who are lactose
intolerant need to ensure that they eat enough foods that contain calcium, as this is one of the main nutrients the body receives from dairy products. Living life with lactose intolerance is not hard but
takes knowledge and dedication.

A lot of people decide to one day to flip the nutrition switch. Which means that they go from eating drive thru and drinking soda almost every night to drinking water and only eating salads. The fact is that 90% of all people that do this fail. One of the main reasons for this is because you can not just decide to shock your body by doing a 180 degree turn on the type of food you eat. A better way to do it is to sit down and decide that you are going to take 2 or 3 days a week and eat healthy and the other nights you just might decide not to. The point is to ease your body into this new habit of eating healthy so it can get used to it and not throw fits when it doesn’t get what it is used to. If you take this approach, most likely you will find the transition much easier.

How do you define Wellness?

The definition of wellness is “mental and physical soundness”. For some people however it is different. Wellness for some could be as simple as being content with who they are and yet others it might be going to the gym seven days a week or eating healthy. Whatever your personal definition is just make sure that it makes you happy. Because without happiness I don’t think anyone can truly be sound, either mentally or physically.

There has been hot debate over whether or not such folklore has any real evidence and while there has not been any displayed as of yet there has not been any to say that the sayings are false either.
