Stomach Problems due to Swallowed Air

Many people swallow air habitually; aerophagia. Although they're usually unaware of it. The cause is often anxiety-related. The air is composed of oxygen and nitrogen. However, most of the oxygen is absorbed by the mucous lining of the gut or is used up by colon bacteria, with very little ending up in flatulence. Nitrogen, on the other hand, is poorly absorbed by the mucous lining and most of the swallowed nitrogen ends up in flatulence.


Treatment Strategies
  1. Becoming aware that air is being swallowed can help. People become conscious of their breathing patterns.
  2. Relaxation techniques may help to reduce anxiety.
  3. Avoid lying down after eating especially at night; walk about 100 steps or so. Gas from the stomach passes into the intestines more readily when you are lying after meal.

کشف المحجوب

 شیخ علی بن عثمان الہجویریؒ اور ان کی کتاب کشف المحجوب پر ایک نظر ڈاکٹر رئیس احمد نعمانی ابتدائیہ علامہ اقبالؒ نے اپنی مثنوی 'اسرار خودی' میں ایک عنوان اس طرح لکھا ہے: ''حکایت نوجوانی از مرو کہ پیش حضرت سید مخدوم ہجویری رحمۃ اللہ علیہ آمدہ ازستم اعوا فریاد کرد'' اس عنوان کے تحت انہیں نے جو کہانی نظم کی ہے، اس کی تمہید میں یہ ابیات بھی لکھے ہیں : سیّد ہجویر مخدوم امم مرقد او پیر سنجر ۱؎ را حرم بندھاری کوھسار آسان گسخت در زمین ھند تخم سجدہ ریخت عہد فاروق از جمالش ۲؎ تازہ شد حق ز حرف اور بلند آوازہ شد پاسبان عترت امّ الکتاب از نگاھش خانۂ باطل خراب خاکِ پنجاب از دم اوزندہ گشت صبح ما از مہر اوتابندہ گشت۳؎ مثنوی کے ان ابیات میں 'مخدوم امم' کہنا اور شیخ ہجویری کے قیام لاہور کے زمانے کو عہد فاروق اعظمؓ کا مماثل قرار دینا، خلافِ واقعہ سہی، تاہم ان پانچ بیتوں میں ، پانچویں صدی ہجری کے معروف بزرگ شیخ علی بن عثمان ہجویریؒ کے بلند روحانی مرتبے، دشوار گزار راہوں سے گزر کر ہندوستان آنے، یہاں آ کر عبادتِ ال

What it’s like to be struck by lightning

Being struck by lightning can have a range of profound effects on both living organisms and the environment. The intense heat generated by a lightning strike can cause severe burns and injuries to humans and animals. The electrical current from the lightning can disrupt the normal functioning of the nervous system and the heart, potentially leading to cardiac arrest or long-term neurological damage. Moreover, the rapid expansion of air due to the extreme heat can result in shock waves that may cause eardrum rupture and other injuries. Beyond immediate impacts on individuals, lightning strikes can also trigger fires in forests and grasslands. These fires can have devastating consequences for ecosystems, leading to loss of habitat, destruction of vegetation, and even altering the composition of soil. Lightning strikes can also damage infrastructure such as buildings, power lines, and electronic equipment, leading to power outages and other disruptions. From a broader perspective, lightni
