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 ...

You've decided to try the  keto diet . The low-carb, high-fat diet can be great for decreasing body weight and might give you a boost in endurance performance, but the body often needs a little bit of time to adapt to using fat as its main energy source. Often, there are some symptoms involved during this period of adaptation. These symptoms are called the "keto flu," a commonly-experienced set of side-effects associated with carbohydrate withdrawal. Reported symptoms include: mood swings, irritability, fatigue, and dizziness. This may sound like withdrawal symptoms from substance abuse; interestingly, recent studies have compared the effect of carbohydrates (particularly sugar) on the brain to that of addictive drugs like cocaine. 1  And these symptoms from the keto flu can last anywhere from a day to a couple weeks. This article was originally published on  HVMN website , thus for more information read it here,  What is Keto Flu and How Do You Cure it?

Ketogenesis Pathway  Many people have heard of a keto diet. Some have used a keto diet for weight loss or high performance. Keto diet provides the body with ketones in the process of ketogenesis. Ketogenesis is a metabolic process or state where the body gets energy supply from the ketone bodies. This is in contrary to the glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, in which blood glucose and glycogen supply the body with energy. Normally, ketosis takes place when the body is breaking down fats at a high rate and transforming fatty acids into ketone bodies. Ketosis is characterized by over 0.5mM concentration of ketone bodies in blood serum with a stable and low concentration of blood glucose and insulin. Ketogenesis occurs when the body is depleted of glycogen or when there are no medium-chain-triglyceride to be converted to provide the body with energy. Furthermore, ketone bodies may be obtained from ketone foods such as  HVMN ketone  or MCT oils or ketone salts . Beta...

Ketogenic diets are gaining popularity worldwide, especially in western countries. The ketogenic diets gain their popularity as a result of people perception of carbohydrate diets. Benefits of ketogenic diets also earn their acceptance. Ketogenic diets are crucial in controlling blood sugar. Moreover, they assist in neuroprotection and lowering of triglycerides. In addition, ketogenic diets enhance mental intelligibility and focus. They improve appetite-suppressing effects, hence making them effective in weight loss and improving cognitive performance. Ketogenic diets help athletes improve their stamina and boost their post-work recovery.     Maybe you have searched tirelessly and you have not found the best keto diets. Worry less, because HVMN has the best keto supplements which will provide you with keto diet benefits. After going through HVMN keto supplements, I found some of the best keto supplements for anyone interested in keto diets. They include: MCT...

A student drafting a conclusion part of a chemistry lab report  This part is the end of the climax of your chemistry lab report. Strive to write it in an ending tone. So, what are the requisites in the conclusion of a chemistry lab report? When writing an excellent lab report students must include the restatement of the experimental objectives, summary of the experiment and recommendation for the future experiment. Though, some conclusion lacks recommendation for the future study. Therefore, students should adhere to the provided instructions. I will use conclusion parts of previous chemistry lab reports ( lab reports discussed in previous lessons ) as examples. Example 1 Restatement of the experimental objectives The experiment investigated the values of pKa, pKb and the concentration of a weak base (aqueous ammonia) and a weak acid (acetic acid) using the titration curves. Summary of the experiment The determined pKa value of acetic acid was less than the...

A farmer in soil sampling process  Defining the pH of the soil is crucial for a profitable farming. Soil pH helps farmers to know the types of fertilizers and other chemicals they should use in their farms. Furthermore, it assists them in deciding on the best crops that can grow well in their farms. Sadly, most farmers do not determine soil pH before they plant. Failure to carry out a soil pH test before planting always results in poor farm production. But why many farmers are not interested in conducting a soil pH test? The answers to this question hinge on the inadequate information on the soil pH testing and unavailability of soil pH testing kits. As a result of these answers, farmers should equip themselves with the right information to uncover th e obscured facts on soil pH testing. Testing soil pH is not demanding. Any farmer can perform it using readily available materials. This article illustrates how to test soil pH using cheap materials. It entails the brief desc...

Click here to listen to the audio of this article This section is the most demanding part to write. It requires you to prudently think about the results you obtained during the experimental session(s), and relate them to the objectives of the experiment. Besides, it calls for the interpretation and generalization of the results. Therefore, students should relate the experimental results to the scientific knowledge under investigation and the objectives. In some chemistry lab reports especially short lab reports, discussion and conclusion are included in one section. However, in long chemistry lab reports, the discussion and conclusion have their distinctive sections. Let us consider the results (Examples 1 and 2) of the lab report in the previous lesson ( lesson 3 ) to help us write the discussion part of the chemistry lab report. Discussion of example 1: Sodium hydroxide-acetic acid titration curve has a lower initial pH and higher equivalence point as compared t...

Question: A soaper has three types of oils she wants to use in making soap. She wants to make soap with INS factor of 135 and soap which contains 40% of olive oil. She needs your help in calculating the amount of each oil she should use in her soap blend. What are the percentages of palm oil and mutton tallow in her soap blend? Answer: Before you solve this problem you must understand the meaning of INS factor. INS factor is defined as the difference between the iodine number and saponification value. It is crucial in soap making because it helps soapmakers to determine the quality of their soap from the blends of oils. The INS factor varies from 15 to 250. In this question, we know the INS factor (135) of the blend. Besides, we know the percentage (40%) of olive required in the blend. However, we do not know the percentage of palm oil and mutton tallow in the blend, but we know their INS factors (Ongoro, P., 2018, p.g 19). Palm oil has 146 INS factor while mutton tallow h...
