Starvation and its issues.
Starvation is a huge thing in our world, people starving and hoping they’ll find something to eat whether it's out of a trash can or not. Starvation is something that no one hopes to go through. People out in the streets begging for food or even a job to get some food. We can survive 3 weeks without food if you have water, which helps fill your stomach. But without food or water you can only survive about a week. We need to eat and drink water to have strength and survive. Without it we’re weak, and many medical issues can develop such as, Anemia, a condition of low red blood cells, Gallstones, hard deposits in the gallbladder, Hypotension, low blood pressure, Stomach disease, inflammation or ulceration of the stomach lining, & Cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, problems with the heart and lungs.
