Hypochlorhydria is a deficiency of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Up to 30% of people aged 65 and over suffer from seriously diminished Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) production. Hydrochloric Acid, HCl, is a strong Mineral Acid produced by the Parietal Cells of the Stomach.  It comprises 0.2% – 0.5% of Gastric Juice. Hydrochloric Acid regulates the acidity of the Stomach optimize Digestion.  This occurs primarily through Hydrochloric Acid stimulating the conversion of Pepsinogen to Pepsin (a Proteolytic (Protein-digesting) Enzyme).

 Functions and Uses of Hydrochloric Acid
– Hydrochloric Acid regulates the acidity of the stomach to optimize Digestion
–  Hydrochloric Acid stimulating the conversion of Pepsinogen to Pepsin (a Proteolytic (Protein-digesting) Enzyme)
–  May kill some forms of Bacteria – Detrimental  in the Stomach and Small Intestine
–  May suppress or kill Helicobacter Pylori (H-pylori)
– Food Allergies resulting from the insufficient endogenous production of Hydrochloric Acid
– Histidine absorption required Hydrochloric acid
– Beta-Carotene absorption required Hydrochloric acid
– Hydrochloric Acid facilitates the flow of Bile
– Calcium and Magnesium absorption required Hydrochloric acid
– Zinc absorption required Hydrochloric acid
– Vitamin C absorption required Hydrochloric acid

Substances may Increase the body’s Production of Hydrochloric Acid
– Amino acid (Glycine and Lyscine)
– Iodine deficiency may cause Hypochlorhydria
– Vitamins (B1,  B3, B5, B6, and B12) stimulating the production of Hydrochloric Acid, also (Hypochlorhydria may inhibit the absorption of Folic Acid and B12)
– Caffeine may increase the body’s production of Hydrochloric Acid
– Tea may increase the body’s production of Hydrochloric Acid
– Wine may increase the body’s production of Hydrochloric Acid

 Hypochlorhydria (low acid) may Cause these Ailments/Symptoms
– Gallstones
– Allergies
–  Hives
– Autoimmune Diseases
– Asthma
– Eczema
-Acne
– Dermatisis
– Seborrheic Dermatitis
– Vitiligo
– Hypothyroidism
– Hypoglycemia
– Fatigue
– Rheumatoid Arthritis
– Osteoporosis
– Indigestion
– Intestinal Parasites
– Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth Syndrome (SIBO)
– Intestinal Permeability
– Heartburn
– Burping
– Flatulence
– May increase the risk of gastrointestinal infection from various types of Detrimental Microorganisms
– Salmonella species
– Eschericia coli
– Giardia lamblia
– Shigella species
– Hypochlorhydria may increase the risk of Stomach Cancer
– Excessive consumption of Alcohol (ethanol) may cause Hypochlorhydria

]]> Carbohydrates https://drsokhandan.com/carbohydrates/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=carbohydrates Sun, 30 Aug 2020 09:00:29 +0000 http://drsokhandan.com/?p=2007 Carbohydrates is a source of Energy and heat, which body use after conversion to Glucose via Glycogen which subsequently reverts back to Glucose.
Type of carbohydrate
1- Simple Carbohydrates (Monosaccharides and Disaccharides) Simple Sugars
2- Complex Carbohydrates(Polysaccharides)

Toxic Effects of Simple Sugars
– May accelerate the Aging Process by causing Cross-Linking (glycosylation) of the body’s Proteins.
– May increase the body’s production of Adrenaline.
– May increase the risk of Hypertension due to Cross-Linking.
– May damage the Blood Vessels  due to Cross-Linking.
– May exacerbate Irritable Bowel Syndrome (by reducing the buffering effect of Polysaccharides).
– May cause Intestinal Permeability.
– May damage the Kidneys due to Cross-Linking.
–  May feed Cancer cells and increase risk of Colon Cancer and Stomach Cancer.
– May increase the risk of Cataracts.
–  May suppress the Immune System ( impair the ability of Neutrophils to function as Phagocytes).
– May feed the detrimental bacteria Candida Albicans (yeast)
– May contributes to excessive production of endogenous Cholesterol and lower the HDL Cholesterol, also Simple Sugars are converted to Triglycerides
and then stored within the body as Adipose Tissue (Fat)..
– May cause Obesity.
– May causeFatigue.
– May stimulate the production ofFree Radicals.
– may increase the risk of Diabetes Mellitus Type 2.
– May increase the risk of Pre-Menstrual Syndrome (PMS).
– May cause damage to the Skin and may increase the formation of Wrinkles due to Cross-Linking of the Collagen.

Excessive Consumption of Simple Sugars may Interfere with;

– May cause depletion of mineral Magnesium and Potassium.
– May cause depletion of Vitamins C and vitamin B6.

Dietary Simple Sugars 
– Soft Drinks content of 33% (Glucose + Fructose + Sucrose).
– Fruit Drink content of 10% (Glucose + Fructose + Sucrose).
– Sweets and Candy content of 18% (Glucose + Fructose + Sucrose).
– Sweetened Grains content of 20% (Glucose + Fructose + Sucrose).
– Milk Products content of 10% (Glucose + Fructose + Sucrose).
