Would amylase be active in the stomach?

Salivary amylase works well around pH 7 (inside the mouth), but inside the stomach are gastric juices which contain HCl. Since the HCl drops the pH of the solution significantly, it denatures the amylase so that it will no longer function as it normally would, breaking down starch and glycogen.

Is rowing good for a flat stomach?

Attempting to reduce fat in just one part of your body at a time is likely to be disappointing.

Fat reduction works like this: When you try to lose fat through calorie-burning exercises, the reduction occurs all throughout your body. Unlike muscle-building, it cannot be specifically targeted to one region. Also, the reduction in fat will not be quickly apparent because it will not be focused on only one spot on your body. So it's helpful to have a "slowly but surely" attitude.

Here's a program for the period in which you want to lose weight:

Plenty of moderate aerobic exercise, no sweetened liquids at all, and no junk food at all. Preferably no sugar, and as little added salt and processed foods as possible. Eat 3 small-portioned meals/day; do not skip breakfast; and avoid snacks. Limit your calories (better to consult a doctor or nutritionist concerning the amount), and weigh yourself 2-3 times/week. Ignore the sensation of hunger. If you see your weight diminishing at a safe, reasonable rate (1-2 pounds/week), keep it up.

Once you've reached your target weight, increase your calorie intake somewhat. And you can then have small amounts of sweetened foods or junk food on occasion (if at all), along with your regular foods (not instead of them). But keep checking your weight 2-3 times/week.

Avoid crash diets, diet pills etc. Avoid fatty cuts of meat. Walk as much as possible. Bicycling and swimming are good too.

More guidelines:

Don't concentrate on specific foods so much as on a balanced, healthy diet plus exercise. Plenty of moderate exercise rather than intense exercise, which can damage your joints.

Good nutrition means eating what your body needs, while ingesting as few harmful things as possible. It has also been described as getting enough of each of the major food categories (grains, fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy, etc.; plus plenty of water).

This will vary somewhat from one person to another; and I don't believe that there's any universal diet that can be prescribed for everyone. Avoid best-sellers with their perennial fad diets. And think twice before using any dietary supplements or weight-loss pills.

In general, one's starting point can be a menu of whole grains, whole-wheat bread, a good amount of vegetables, some fruits and nuts, fish, lean meats (in not-large amounts), and some dairy. However, this must be tweaked according to one's health, weight and other factors at the outset; and also adjusted over time, as one sees what works for him/her in particular.

Why does it hurt to eat during your period?

You should avoid caffeine, dairy, and processed foods while having your period.

Blood clot in the stomach caused from internal bleeding?

I believe this happens because of high blood pressure...when vessels start bursting due to high pressure.

Internal bleeding can ba caused by a number of things. Trauma is the most common. Car accidents, falls, etc. Most commonly cause internal hemorrhaging. Heart attacks have nothing to do with internal bleeding. They are caused by a blockage in a vein or artery.

Bleeding can also be caused by ingesting too much aspirin.

Does swallowing semen make your stomach hurt?

No, The only upsetting part might be the tangy salty taste. However once swallowed it doesnt upset your stomach. So don't worry about swallowing it. The only thing that way irritate is the lingering taste so drink something sweet afterwards.

Well it depends on how sensitive your stomach is. Mine is very sensitive, and it does feel a little upset after, but the pain isn't too bad. Just try eating something or drinking water to help out.

Answer:Swallowing semen can upset the stomach as it contains enzymes that interact with mucous membranes. These enzymes help to facilitate successful fertilization in the womb, but they can also affect the mucous membranes of the digestive tract when swallowed and cause indigestion and stomach pain.

The pressure exerted by food on what valve causes it to open so that food can enter the stomach?

The lower esophageal sphincter.

Actually it is triggered to relax by the nervous system as part of the swallowing reflex so the question is a bit overly simplistic if not just wrong.

What happens when you get hit in the stomach?

A few things happen when you get hit in the stomach. Let's assume a bully has punched you in the gut and you had no time to flex.

BAM!

Your insides are literally being forced backward, into an unnatural position. In addition, they are relatively sensative and the nerves in your torso tell your brain that you are in pain. Next, the force of the punch is forcing your diaphragm to expell air; hence the term "knocking the wind out of someone." This causes you to gasp for air, making it difficult to breathe. Oh, and let's not forget about your unflexed muscles. They feel the brunt of the guy's fist too, causing even more pain.

Now, there are more factors to a punch than just a fist and a poor sap at the other end of it. To get an accurate measure of just what kind of damage a punch produces, you would have to calculate the attacker's size, strength, velocity, stance, and technique. In addition to that, you would have to calculate the poor sap's size, strength, stance, and how much of that punch he really took.

Most of the time, a punch will only knock the wind out of you, leaving you helpless and gasping for air.

But if someone who is big enough, strong enough, and/or executes a perfectly designed punch, it CAN kill you.

Lesson learned: Don't get punched!

Did you know that an aspiring rapper was killed in 2011 by a woman with a single punch in a five dollar bet?

Will a stomach flu kill you?

Usually only very young children, infants, the frail with underlying diseases, those with weak immune systems, and the elderly have complications from the stomach flu (viral gastroenteritis) that require urgent care or hospitalization.

When this happens, they can get very ill and even die.

What is the technical term for the stomach flu?

What is commonly called the "Stomach Flu" is an acute contagious infection of the gastrointestinal tract that is caused by an RNA virus named Norovirus, which is from the family of viruses: Caliciviridae. It is not the same as "food poisoning" which is most often caused by bacteria.

"Stomach Flu" also goes by the more correct medical term of viral gastroenteritis, and by other nicknames like "Norwalk Flu," and, "Norwalk Agent." However, even though it is called "flu" by the common nicknames, it is also not actually the same as the flu (influenza). Influenza/flu is an infection also caused by a virus but it is quite different and affects the respiratory system instead of the digestive system and lasts usually 7 to 10 days.

The symptoms of viral gastroenteritis are often nausea, headaches, low grade fever, diarrhea and vomiting. You have malaise (feel terrible) and fatigue. Sometimes the diarrhea is incessant and can result in severe dehydration, if the fluids lost are not replenished, you may require hospitalization to treat the condition and prevent widespread organ injury or even organ failure.

It is typically a short illness of two to three days time, when you get plenty of fluids, rest, eat liquids instead of solids and then gradually increase your diet to solid foods as tolerated.

You can prevent the stomach flu if you wash your hands well and often, especially if you know that it is "going around". Use warm soap and water or sanitize your hands (hand sanitizer) often. Avoid nail biting or putting your fingers in your mouth. Eat healthy foods that are soft and bland once you can hold liquids down.

Why do you get 'stomachache' in your lower abdomen when your stomach is much higher up in the body?

* Constipation is one of the most common reasons for abdominal pain. If you haven't had a bowel movement (poop) for a while or if it hurts to go to the bathroom or your bowel movements are hard, you are probably constipated. * Diarrhea is often caused by an infection that some people call "the stomach flu." Doctors call this type of diarrhea/infection gastroenteritis. When you have diarrhea - runny, watery bowel movements - you may also feel sick to your stomach. * Vomiting. Feeling sick to your stomach and throwing up can also be linked to gastroenteritis. The pain is one way your body tells you to stay near a bathroom! * An infection someplace else in your body may cause belly pain, too. A sore throat, pneumonia, an ear infection, or a cough can sometimes cause tummy trouble as well. * Food. Some kids get abdominal pain because they ate too much of something, ate a food that was too spicy or greasy, ate a food they have an allergy to, or ate food that sat around in the fridge for too long and went bad. The pain is the body's way of telling you that your stomach and intestines are having a tough job breaking down or digesting this food. For example, some people have lactose intolerance, which means they have a tough time digesting lactose, a type of sugar found in milk and other dairy foods. Whatever the cause, funky foods can quickly make your tummy feel funky! * Appendicitis or other painful problems. If the pain starts by your belly button and then moves to the lower right side of your abdomen, it might be appendicitis. Fever or vomiting, along with pain that gets worse and worse and a loss of appetite, can also be signs of appendicitis. * Severe pain also can be caused by a urinary tract infection or a blocked intestine. Infection by bacteria or a parasite, heartburn, irritable bowel disease, or inflammatory bowel disease also can cause abdominal pain. * Stress.Many, many kids (and adults, too) have a "nervous stomach" when they are worried or stressed.
