ketogenic diet These days, it seems like everyone is talking about the ketogenic (in short, keto) diet – the very low-carbohydrate, moderate protein, a high-fat eating plan that transforms your body into a fat-burning machine. Hollywood stars and professional athletes have publicly touted this diet’s benefits, from losing weight, lowering blood sugar, fighting inflammation, reducing cancer risk, increasing energy, to slowing down aging. So is keto something that you should consider taking on? The following will explain what this diet is all about, the pros and cons, as well as the problems to look out for. What Is Keto? Normally, the body uses glucose as the main source of fuel for energy. When you are on a keto diet, and you are eating very few carbs with only moderate amounts of protein (excess protein can be converted to carbs), your body switches its fuel supply to run mostly on fat. The liver produces ketones (a type of fatty acid) from fat. These ketones become a fuel source for the body, especially the brain, which consumes plenty of energy and can…

The Brain I never thought that the brain could develop for, but research shows that there are better ways to make it grow even for adults. According to the article “You Can Grow Your Brain,” the brain is like a muscle and can get stronger when it is used. Before this, people thought that the brain was a mystery, and people are born intelligent. I thought people were born dumb and stayed that way for the rest of their life. The essay will show how my views have changed regarding the ability to learn new things and develop skills and how I may apply the knowledge gained from the article in learning. When weightlifters lift weight consistently, the muscles get stronger, and they can lift more weight in the future. Whether, when they stop exercising, the tissues shrink and get weaker, hence the phrase “use it or lose it” (You Can Grow Your Brain 1).

Short-term Regulation of Blood Pressure Blood pressure is used to measure how well the cardiovascular system is functioning. It is a measure of the forces that are within the cardio-vascular center during the pumping of the blood from the heart. Blood pressure is vital in our body as it helps give our body organs enough nutrients and blood they need. Very high blood pressure can damage the blood vessels. It is, therefore, important that our bodies maintain healthy blood pressure at all times. In this paper, we will look at the short-term control of blood pressure, and some of the problems likely to experience when the blood pressure control is lost. Blood pressure can be measured manually using a stethoscope or using an automated blood pressure monitor. There is the systolic- heart pressure during contraction, and the diastolic pressure- heart pressure immediately after one contraction. The cardiovascular center plays a crucial role in maintaining the body through nutrients and hormone transportation. It also plays a significant role in the removal of waste products from the body organs. The cardiovascular center…

Rowing Machines Vs. Treadmill A rowing machine, also known as an ergometer, is a remarkable piece of workout equipment with distinct features. Rowing machines are generally designed to emulate the moves of the rowers who paddle their boats in the water. To use the unit, the user will need to sit on the provided sliding board, then slide upwards of the machine by stretching the legs. The next thing is pulling action that involves using your core and arms. At the back of the machine, take a short pause and reverse the move to slide to the front- you basically extend your arms, the body and contract your legs. Perform the movements several times to hit your daily workout routine. The movements done on a rowing machine offers full-body workouts as it involves all the major muscle groups in your body. A treadmill, on the other hand, is an equipment that allows you to complete aerobic workouts efficiently. It is an essential piece of equipment for anyone looking to start a workout routine because walking and jogging is well supported…
