This diet designed to mimic the biochemical modifications connected to fasting in order to control seizure activity. When someone beings a low carb diet, the body will produce ketones in the liver that is used as energy source. The foods that are included on the Ketogenic diet: •Fat and oils: Avocado, beef tallow, butter, chicken Fat, ghee, non-hydrogenated Lard, macadamia nuts, mayonnaise (watch out for added carbs), olive oil, coconut oil, coconut butter, red palm oil, peanut butter. •Protein: fish, shellfish, whole eggs, meat, poultry, poultry, bacon and sausage, peanut butter....

...How Weight loss with ketogenic diet takes place? Ketogenic diet is effective for losing weight since it sets the body in the way that the body should use the fats as the primary fuel source when there is no carbs. The problems with the current diet that causes the fat loss plateau is taking too much protein, not too much fat or taking the residual carbohydrates. To stop this plateau, you have to increase the fat diet, reduce the calories from protein and take more vegetables. The Weight loss with ketogenic diet is based on different options.

Hunger is the enemy of any diet and when people are not able to stop eating, they may feel miserable and they may...

...Killing Us Softly The nutritional dietary consumption of carbohydrates is between 55-75% for the vast majority of the global population as their main source of food intake and energy. And the general populous continues to be misinformed by government agencies regarding what a normal, healthy diet, should be, as well as what a balanced diet looks like. Eating a low-carb high-fat, or ketogenic, diet of high fat, adequate protein and low carbohydrates can provide many health benefits as compared to the alternative of an unhealthy diet. Research suggests that a ketogenic diet builds a healthier body than other diets because it will lead to weight loss, improved blood pressure, and reduce appetites. The ketogenic diet is the foundation for a healthy life. As noted by Dr. Eenfeldt (2014), The ketogenic diet has been referred to by different names, such as: the keto diet, low carb diet, low carb high fat (LCHF), and to some degree the Adkins Diet. The ketogenic diet is a well known diet for being associated with consuming a low amount of carbohydrates, a moderate amount of protein and high amount of fat, where the body produces ketones in the liver to be used as energy (Taubes, 2008). With a diet high in carbohydrates your body will produce glucose and insulin. Glucose is the easiest molecule for your body to convert and use as energy, so it will be chosen over other energy sources. The insulin is produced in order to process the glucose in your bloodstream (Taubes, 2008, p.167)....

...In this paper I will discuss Epilepsy and the research based on the information I have found. Such as what part of the brain is affected by the disease, what the signs and symptoms are depending on what part of the brain has taken damage. Then, I will also discuss the possible treatments, though it is still an incurable disease. Next, I will describe the prognosis and where modern medicine is heading to help in dealing with epilepsy. Finally, I will give examples of epilepsy and how it affects one's life from my own personal experience, and the names will be changed for the safety of the family. Epilepsy a Brief History While epilepsy has been documented since the writing system was invented, it has a history of being superstitious as well....

...Alexa Anastasi December 8, 2014 English 1A Research Paper Diet and Cancer: The Fascinating Connection What’s on your plate? That seems to be the overwhelming question in today’s society filled with both health food conscious people and those individuals who do not care and eat junk food most of the time. However what most of these people do not realize is that they are not only jeopardizing their health and decreasing their life expectancy but they are also increasing their chances of getting some form of cancer in their lifetime. The individuals who fuel their bodies with high calorie sugary drinks, fats and processed meats are not doing their bodies any justice they are just fueling the dormant cancer cells in their bodies to run rampant throughout their body and causing something that could have been easily prevented with a change in diet. On the flip side, the health conscious people in the world are already ten times more protected from cancer because of the healthy lifestyle choices they make every day! Don’t be a contributor to America’s high cancer rate, be a game changer and live your life to the fullest with little possibility of cancer, all you have to do is eat those delicious and nutritious fruits and vegetables that can be found all around you! Why would you want to put another hamburger or hot dog in your mouth knowing it has the potential to kill you? I know I wouldn’t because I love my body too much and you should too! So climb on board and let me...

...Demographics Paper Charlisa Moore HCS 490 1-14-13 David Dye Demographics Paper In today’s time there have been many changes in health care compared to the past. There seems to be more children with chronic health conditions than in past years that have caused an increase in home health care and overall health care cost. Some of the children that have cerebral palsy go to school but there are many who stay home throughout the day. Either way care is provided for children with cerebral palsy or other chronic illnesses. There are several people who are involved in the care for these children such as nurses, attendants, and therapist. In the United States it is estimated 8,000 to 10,000 babies born each year will develop cerebral palsy [ (My Child) ]. This means that cerebral palsy will occur in two point three to three point six of every 1,000 children in the United States. Cerebral palsy is the most common motor disability in childhood. It is caused by abnormal brain development or damage to the developing brain that affects a person’s ability to control his or her muscles (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2012). Cerebral palsy occurs more frequently in Caucasian children than African American and Hispanic children. Also boys seem to be more affected than girls by a rate of one point two. Cerebral palsy is a condition that can be hard to detect until a child is about five or older the statistics are not completely clear on the demographics. However, the impact...

...and 59% for stroke and heart disease respectively while it has been static for cancer with no decrease in death rates inspite of extensive research and treatment efforts. This suggests that something is wrong about cancer treatment. The term “Five year survival rate” hides within it our sad story of not being able to find a permanent cure to cancer. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery are not curative but symptomatic therapies merely extending our lives. Our scientists inspite of doing researches involving billions of money and publishing an amazing 1.5 million papers have not found a cure to cancer. We have been only able to increase the five year survival rates from 48.75 % in 1975 to 69% in 2007, pointing to us that there is something wrong. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy increases risk of leukemias and solid tumors, targeted therapy to melanoma and stem cell transplant can result in second cancers. The irony of cancer treatment causing cancers and the unending list of severe side effects from vomiting, alopecia to infertility and immunocompromised state gives a sickening feeling about the cancer management we are following. 90% of the time the cause of death in cancer is metastases. We don’t have any weaponry to attack them except palliative pain treatment. Its not even in our priority list with only less than 0.5% of research projects on metastases. Not targeting the biggest monster i.e. metastases makes me feel wrong about our current cancer management. Running...
