Lead Poisoning And Insomnia
.
Lead poisoning is nothing to joke about, and in fact, can cause many types of disorders, including difficulty sleeping.
Lead poisoning is nothing to joke about, and in fact, can cause many types of disorders, including difficulty sleeping.
The sleeping disorder insomnia can be severe,
as it can affect one's work and family life.
There are many factors that can cause
insomnia, but let us explore an environmental factor that can cause this
disease, and also how water can treat it.
The statistic is alarming: about 30% of
Americans are drinking water that contains lead levels in excess of the EPA maximum contaminant level.
Lead, in larger quantities, is considered a
metabolic poison and has caused people many untold ills such as damage to the
kidneys and liver, nervous, reproductive, cardiovascular, immune and
gastrointestinal systems.
In addition to insomnia, lead consumption in
childhood can lead to a lower IQ and impairment in reading, writing, math,
visual and motor skills, language, abstract thinking and concentration.
Exposure to the toxic metal may contribute to
crime and anti-social behavior in children.
Another element found in water that can cause
insomnia is MTBE.
MTBE (methyl
tertiary-butyl ether) is a flammable, colorless liquid that dissolves easily in
water. It is a chemical added to gasoline to reduce carbon monoxide emissions from automobiles.
MTBE has, throughout the years, leaked into
ground water.
Some people have complained of symptoms such
as nausea, dizziness, lightheadedness, headaches, and nose and throat
irritation after breathing vapors from gas containing MTBE.
Reports of hundreds of people becoming ill
have come to light and are connected to MTBE contamination in drinking
water.
Neurological symptoms aside from insomnia
include headache, nausea, palpitations, anxiety, and some visual
disturbances.
It is important to filter your water to
prevent the side effects of these toxic metals, which include insomnia.
If it is too late and the disorder has
already invaded your life, you must treat it. To treat insomnia, it is best to
get a consultation from a sleep doctor, usually a neurologist.
A neurologist will determine if you need a
sleep test to make the diagnosis. There are many medications used to fight this
disease, as well as behavioral changes that can also be made.
It is best to avoid drinks containing alcohol,
caffeine and sugar as these can influence body rhythms.
Some people think they can use alcohol to
fall asleep, but it does not help.
Also, caffeine and sugars act as stimulants,
so it should be best to avoid beverages with either or both to aid in falling
asleep.
Instead, drinking water- without lead of course
- can help insomniacs sleep better.
Another reason insomniacs should drink plenty
of water during the day is to stay hydrated.
Water is our internal cooling and temperature
balance system.
Dehydration can lead to increase of toxins in
your bloodstream and can cause irritability in your physical levels of comfort which
becomes more noticeable at night.
Drinking water throughout the day can flush
those toxins out of the body. That said, a healthy body is a more restful body!
