• April 25, 2024

In Mexico it is increasingly common for people to be absent from their jobs due to stomach problems.

Bad eating habits and excessive consumption of fats , chocolate, coffee, alcohol, tobacco, drugs and stress negatively impact the stomach, which impacts their quality of life and productivity, according to information published on the website of the National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition.

Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) warn that economically active people spend on average one third of your time in the workplace.

Among the main stomach ailments that affect the Mexican population are colitis, gastritis, diarrhea, constipation and ulcers.

In some cases complications such as diverticular disease (small hernias) and in severe cases colon and rectal cancer can occur.

In case of any discomfort do not hesitate to go to a specialist and avoid self-medication.
