Hospitals Can Kill You – And A New Study Shows Us Why
naturalblaze.com
Sick people go to the hospital to get well, but there’s now even more scientific evidence confirming that a visit to the hospital may leave a person even worse-off than they were to begin with. And now we know why.
A brand new study was released that has discovered that gut flora is reduced dramatically within DAYS of someone entering the hospital environment.
Here’s why this is such a big deal.
Many of us have had a suspicion for quite some time that going into the hospital is not always good for your health. But recently, hospital-acquired diseases have begun affecting patients in record numbers. The overuse of antibiotics has contributed to not only antibiotic resistance but to the rise in cases of Clostridium difficile (commonly called C.diff), which can rapidly kill a person due to dehydration.
But it isn’t just about antibiotic resistance. Optimum gut health is critical in the fight against C.diff (as well as a plethora of other conditions). Gut health is actually pretty easy to maintain. For most people, a serving of a simple probiotic yogurt daily is all it takes. Oh – and if it’s home-made then it’s even better. (Here are two super easy methods for making your own yogurt.) The consumption of yogurt with active cultures is such a simple thing, but it seems to be beyond the majority of hospitals to provide it to ensure the heath of their patients.
It’s important to note that the study concentrated primarily on patients admitted to ICU, so we are talking about seriously ill individuals here. Those patients would already be at most risk from catching a hospital-acquired infection since those hospital-acquired conditions are opportunists by nature . Patients who are already sick and compromised prove to be perfect hosts.
Researchers from The American Society For Microbiology found that health-promoting flora carried in the gut, on the skin, and in the mouth are massively reduced in hospitalized patients. The longer they are in the hospital, the worse the situation gets.
