(This
is the reason why our Prophet forbade blowing food / hot drinks)
Usually when we eat food or drink that is hot then we
blow it out so that food or drink into our mouths be cold. It can be risky to
our health due to food or drink that is still steaming hot water will be where
we know that water vapor is H2O (aq).
If we blow it, then we will remove CO2 from the mouth.
by chemical reaction, when water vapor reacts with carbon dioxide to form
carbonic acid compounds (carbonic acid) that is acidic.
CO2 + H2O => H2CO3
We need to know that there was blood in the H2CO3 is
useful to adjust the pH (acidity level) in the blood. Blood is the buffer
(which can maintain the pH of the solution) with a weak acid H2CO3 and the
conjugate base of HCO3-so that the blood has a pH of 7.35 to 7.45 with the
following reaction: CO2 + H20 + HCO3-+ H
Body using a pH buffer (buffer) in the blood as a
protection against the changes which occur suddenly in blood pH. Abnormalities
in the mechanisms controlling the pH, can cause one of two major abnormalities
in acid-base balance, namely acidosis or alkalosis.
Acidosis is a condition where the blood has too much
acid (or are very low base) and often causes decreased blood pH.
While Alkalosis is a condition where the blood has too
much base (or too little acid) and sometimes cause increased blood pH.
Back again to the initial problem, where our food is
inflatable, and carbon dioxide from our mouths will bond with the moisture from
the food and produce carbonic acid which will affect the level of acidity in
our blood that will lead to a situation where our blood will be more acidic
than it should be so pH in the blood decreases, the situation is more known as acidosis.
Along with lowering of blood pH, breathing becomes
deeper and more rapid as the body's effort to reduce excess acid in the blood
by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide.
In the end, the kidneys also try to compensate for this
situation by issuing more acid in the urine.
But the two mechanisms would not be useful if the body
is constantly producing too much acid, resulting in severe acidosis. In line
with worsening acidosis, the patient began to feel fatigue, drowsiness, nausea
and experiencing the confusion. If the acidosis worsens, blood pressure may
fall, causing shock, coma and even death.
