Keto Flu and its treatment



Photo Credited: Intermountain Health Care

Keto flu is defined by a variety of symptoms experienced by some first-time users of a keto diet. The signs of keto flu are similar to symptoms of flu. Keto flu occurs as a result of the adaptation of the body to the keto diet which consists of very little carbohydrate content.

So, what are some signs of keto flu? An individual who is suffering from keto flu experiences constipation, stomach pain, insomnia, sore muscles, and cramps. Besides, the person experiences dizziness, headaches, fatigue, cravings, irritability, and mood swings. 

Treatment of keto flu depends on the specific symptoms of keto flu. For instance: 

(1) Headache is treated by eating food with a high content of minerals. Bone broth and sea salt are the best examples of food rich in minerals. Furthermore, supplements with potassium and magnesium serve the same purpose as food rich in minerals. 

(2) Constipation is solved by eating food rich fiber such as fruits and vegetables. Drink enough water, exercise, and taking a supplement with MCT oil are important when dealing with constipation. 

(3) Cramps are prevented by drinking enough water and eating enough leafy green vegetables.

(4) Cravings, fatigue and low mood are vetoed by carefully increasing the intake of water and minerals. Additionally, B vitamins especially B5 is fundamental in preventing lethargy and fatigue. 

(5) Bad breath is treated by drinking enough water, using breath freshers, gum and maintaining good oral hygiene.

How to write a Forensic Case Study: Murder of Junko Furuta

Image
Photo of Junko Furuta  For one to score high marks in a Forensic Case Study, one must  adhere to the following: Background of the case: This section contains details about the crime. It includes; the reasons for committing the offense, the conditions which the crime was committed, the circumstances of the crime scene and clear identification of the suspect(s) and the victim(s). One should ensure that the information in this part gives a precise idea of what the case is all about.   Pick and Write an article on Iwriter Website Evidence: This encompasses the piece of evidence found at the crime scene. The evidence should be described in details, that is, ways in which the evidence was collected, processed and preserved.   Forensic Tests: The tests should be two or more that were used to analyze the evidence. The science or theory of instrumentation used must be described fully.   Results: This consists of a detailed explanation of the forensic ...

Roles of Sodium Carbonate when Extracting Caffeine from Tea Leaves

Image
A student failed to add sodium carbonate (Na 2 CO 3 ) when extracting caffeine from tea leaves with hot water. Though, high yield of caffeine was produced. The crystals melted at temperatures between 202  and 214 degree  Celsius. Explain. This happened because sodium carbonate did not interfere with the caffeine content of the tea leaves. Sodium carbonate (which is a base) deprotonates the phenolic hydroxyl group (-OH) (acidic) of tannins rendering them anionic. Hence, making them highly soluble in water, but parsimoniously soluble in methylene chloride. So, if sodium carbonate is not added when extracting caffeine with hot water, the extracted caffeine would also contain tannins. Additionally, sodium carbonate is added during the extraction to keep caffeine (an alkaloid which is an organic base)  in a free base form. It prevents caffeine from reacting with available acid available, which may lead to the formation cation. It reacts with a phenolic h...

Arrhenius equation: Increasing temperature increases the rate reaction

Image
The rate of reaction of a particular reaction often increases as one increase the temperature. However, how can this belief be proved using Arrhenius equation? According to the Arrhenius equation, the rate constant (k) is obtained by the ratio of Ea to RT, in which Ea denotes required energy while RT is the available thermal energy. The Arrhenius Equation is given by: k=Ae - (Ea/RT) When Ea is larger, it results in slower reactions. On the other hand, when RT is large, it leads to faster rate of reaction. Larger Ea gives smaller rate constant k, but larger RT produces larger rate constant (k). Larger rate constant increases the rate of reactions.  By using Arrhenius equation, one can easily see that when the temperature is increased, the rate constant will also increase. Let us consider these two scenarios. In the first scenario, Ea=120,000 Joules/mole, R=8.31 mol -1 K -1 , and K=373K.In the second scenario, Ea=120,000Joules/mole, R=8.31 mol -1 K -1 , and K...
