Ending addiction chains: Alcohol energy drinks

When we talk about drug addiction, the first thing that ring into your mind is the misuse of hard drugs like cocaine, heroin, marijuana, cigarette, alcohol and many more. In very rear cases will you find people associating drug addiction with energy drinks yet they form serious part of substances that are very addictive. Because we desire to kick out this scourge of addiction out of our lives, we are not going to relent until everything is put on the surface for everyone to take action on. It is therefore very important to appreciate that, caffeinated alcoholic beverages (CAB’s) or Alcohol energy drinks (AED’s) as they are commonly known are premixed beverages that contain not only alcohol but also include caffeine and other stimulants. They are often sold in very attractive and luring tall, narrow cans similar to non-alcoholic energy drinks, which are popular drinks among teens. And in many cases they are marketed with content that carry teen-friendly names and contain a lot of sugar and flavoring.

Finally, take note that a typical can has about as much caffeine as a large cup of coffee, along with additives like guarana and ginseng that can speed up the central nervous system. This may come to you as harmless as their producers wants you to believe, but be worn that if you are committed into breaking addiction chains effectively, then these energy drinks should also be a no go zone.

Intoxication poisoning and threats to health: A medical emergency

It may be your favorite drink but facts will always remain facts that silently, alcohol is a killer. Alcohol intoxication poisoning and threats to health are how best we can describe the magnitude of the harms that are associated with the continued consumption of this dangerous drug yet legally allowed for consumption. Experts from AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under the able leadership of doctor Dalal Akoury says that because of alcohol hundreds of people die yearly from acute alcohol intoxication also known as alcohol poisoning or alcohol overdose. And besides, that thousands of more are admitted daily to the emergency rooms in various health facilities across the globe. It is regrettable that as things stand now and unless something is done drastically to contain the situation, alcohol poisoning is steadily increasing in high schools and other institutions of higher learning like colleges and universities campuses. For lack of better words to describe the magnitude of the problem, I can only put it plainly that drinking too much repeatedly too fast can kill and will you. I don’t mean to scare anyone with my choice of words, but I am only stating as it is because the picture we see on the adverts is total fiction meant to bring many into the consumption basket for an imminent destruction at an appropriate time, says doctor Dalal Akoury.  Therefore why do I say that alcohol poisoning is a medical emergency? Let’s find out progressively.

Intoxication poisoning and threats to health: Alcohol poisoning is a medical emergency

Alcohol consumption has never been friendly to human health and it is not about to start anytime now or in the future, and being a depressant drug, once it is administered into the body through ingestion, it immediately start it act of damage by working round the clock to slow down some of the body’s vital functions including heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing. This will continue as users continue in their habit and when the vital centers have been depressed enough by, it then leads to unconsciousness. Doctor Akoury is registering that it is very important to appreciate that, the amount of alcohol it takes to produce unconsciousness is life threatening and very close to a fatal dose. The consequences of this are that those individuals who survive alcohol poisoning sometimes suffer irreversible brain damage.

Nonetheless, one very important to note is that alcohol abuse knows no boundaries and therefore everyone can fall to it. I was talking to some student in one of the learning institutions and it is worrying how many are in the dark and were surprised to learn that death can occur from acute intoxication. According to the students, it was evident that most of the young people often think that the worst that can happen when they are intoxicated is that they will just pass out and have a hang-over the next day. That is the highest order of ignorance which is very harmful to our young people. It is our duty to impact positively on them by creating awareness about the dangers of alcohol poisoning and intoxication threats to health by all means. Finally, alcohol is not good for your health and if you’re in it, seek for help now by scheduling for an appointment with doctor Akoury so that you can have a one on one discussion with her today.

Infant food addiction

Infant food addiction prevention is possible when parents are well informed of their roles in caring for the children

Infant food addiction prevention: The best feeding habits for kids

When it comes to child protection, nothing is left to chance. We will always do all it takes to ensure the safety of our children and therefore, infant food addiction prevention must be top on our priority list. Ironically in our quest of bringing them up, we sometimes do certain things ignorantly that impacts quite negatively in the development of our children. We spoke with experts from AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under the leadership of Doctor Dalal Akoury MD and a veteran addiction expert whose primary objective is to make a difference in people’s lives. In her, over two decades of working experience doctor, Akoury has really made immense contributions in transforming peoples’ lives from all walks of life across the globe. We are therefore privileged to have such brains to help us understand some of the techniques for preventing childhood food addiction going forward in this discussion. Doctor Akoury is very categorical that children can eat and enjoy a wide variety of foods and textures and will not complain much as we do. It is important that all parents and guardians should to take the earliest opportunity when children are still young to encourage them to enjoy family meals and even go beyond the family means by trying a wide range of other foods, tastes, flavors, and textures.

Experts from AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center have established that toddlers and young children have a natural ability to sense when they are hungry and when they are full a function that most of us adult may not have. Ordinarily children will learn to eat what the family eats and that will only be possible if they are offered the same food and encouraged to try it. Low-fat or restricted diets are not always recommended for toddlers primarily because this may result in poor growth and development. Nonetheless we all ore our children the duty of care to ensure that as we feed them they do not engage in feeding habit that can have serious addiction impact in their lives in the future. In that regard, let us take some time to briefly highlight some of the concerns parents may have in bringing up their children to be free from the temptation of being addicted to food.

Infant food addiction prevention: Involving children in decision making

Your role as parent to your child is to decide what food and when to offer it, but the child decides whether or not to eat and to what quantity they’ll eat. Remember that children eat when they’re hungry. They have a natural ability to sense when they are hungry and when they are full. Therefore insisting that your child eats more than they choose to is not advisable because doing so is likely to encourage them to overeat in the future and probably become addicted to certain foods particularly those that you are forcing on them. Professionally doctor Akoury recommends that you let your children decide whether they will eat and how much they will eat. This may not sound reasonable for you but remember it is one of the best techniques for preventing childhood food addiction. Let us reason together and keep our children safe. You can always reach me on telephone number 843 213 1480 to address any concern you may be having about your children feeding habits.

Disorderly alcohol consumption

Disorderly alcohol consumption is a health risk for all gender

Disorderly alcohol consumption: The family pain

Disorderly alcohol consumption is a serious family disease. Because of this, many drug users may take years to recover, as they rebuild and stabilize their lives. Without question, it can seem overwhelming, but it helps to keep in mind that commitment to the recovery process is also a commitment to the overall well-being of the whole family. Therefore, very constructive and active family engagement in the recovery process is essential if the family is to heal from the destructive impact of drinking alcohol disorderly and addiction related complications. To keep hopes alive, the whole family needs a variety of supports, information, and skills.

Disorderly alcohol consumption: Essential family support

End the isolation and connect: By joining an education or support group.

Education on Addiction and the Family: Understanding how addiction affects both the addicted person and the family is an essential foundation to moving on.

Learn communication skills: Active addiction destroys family communication. Developing these skills is essential to family recovery.

Detachment and responsibility for self: Learning to detach with love and focus on assuming responsibility for our own behavior.

Stop old behaviors: Many of our old ways of coping are ineffective and contribute to the problem, not the solution: enabling, denial, blaming and minimizing the problem.

Engage the children: As a parent, depending on ages, you play a critically important role in providing support and protection for the children. But, engaging them in their own recovery is very important.

Build on Resilience: Surviving active addiction to alcohol and drugs is never easy. Therefore use the recovery process as a means of building on your personal and family strengths.

Engage in personal and family activities: working alone and together to find activities that serve as a source of personal and family fulfillment.

Understand and prepare for Relapse: Relapse into old behaviors is as real for family members as it is for those addicted to alcohol and drugs. Family members need to develop strategies for dealing with their own relapse issues and other challenges.

People recovering from alcoholism and drug addiction, their families, and their children can and often do achieve optimum levels of health and functioning, but this achievement is best measured in years rather than days, weeks, or months. In the process of recovery, families are strengthened through increased levels of genuine intimacy and families are better able to cope with life’s challenges. Over time, the discipline of recovery can bring the family together to be the healthiest it has ever been!

Finally, as we settle on solutions to this problem, we must all appreciate that family recovery is ideal and realistic for millions across the globe, and because of this hope, help, and healing of family recovery has become the most powerful way to break the intergenerational cycle of alcoholism and addiction in the family thereby bringing restoration to where hope was dying and discouragement was thriving.

Dual intoxication

June 2, 2017
Dual intoxication

Dual intoxication dangers are evident socially, emotionally and physically to the whole family

Dual intoxication: Breaking the chains of addiction

Dual drinking of both alcohol and energy drinks has become trendy, but it can also be risky. Marketed to kids, often through all the media stations both print and electronic marketing campaigns and grassroots strategies including door to door marketing and using youth-oriented imagery and slogans doctor Akoury is raising a warning to all users that people must never be lured into believing what they see in the marketing campaigns. It is all about making money and dual intoxication is helping producers in achieving their money making objective. This is because the new alcohol energy drinks have high alcohol content and sometimes as high as 12% as compared with 5% for a typical can of beer. When using these drinks, what we must always put into an account which is also a major concern across the board is that mixing energy drinks with alcohol can lead to wide-awake drunkenness. Under this circumstances, the element of caffeine in the solution will only mask the feeling of drunkenness meaning that the user may not get drunk but this does not necessarily decrease the actual alcohol-related impairment. As a result, you feel less drunk than you really are, which can lead to consumption of even more alcohol or engage in risky activities like drunk driving.

The risk doesn’t end there and a lot more needs to be done to bring this problem to manageable levels. Doctor Akoury founder of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center is registering that, various studies conducted by scientifically has established that there is more harm in adding caffeine to alcoholic drinks. Recently in 2010, the Food and Drug Administration sounded a warning to alcoholic beverages processing companies that caffeine added to some of their alcoholic beverages makes the products unsafe and that even lead to the withdrawal of some products from the market with some companies agreeing not to make the beverages in the future. That really communicates the seriousness of the problem of mixing these two substances. Nevertheless, as things stand right now, there is still no regulation on the amount of caffeine in energy drinks, neither do we have any requirements related to the labeling of contents or possible health risks.

Dual intoxication: Double the risk

According to the findings of Wake Forest University School of Medicine, researchers were able to establish that students who mixed alcohol and energy drinks had double the risk of being hurt or injured, requiring immediate medical attention, driving with an intoxicated driver, being taken advantage of sexually, or taking advantage of another sexually. The danger is and according to one of the leading researcher, “Students whose motor skills, visual reaction times, and judgment are impaired by alcohol may not perceive that they are intoxicated as readily when they’re also ingesting a stimulant.” Finally doctor Dalal Akoury is making this passionate appeal to all parents, health officials and law-enforcement agencies that we all need to tighten our belts and put in place tighter regulations on the drinks within our levels and jurisdiction so that we can free our societies from the bondage of addiction and all the complications that come with it. For more information about all this, you can schedule an appointment with doctor Dalal Akoury today for a further one on one discussion with her and she will gladly give you an audience.
