biochemical reactions! Also an important electrolyte is phosphate. Phosphate strengthens bones and teeth. Bicarbonate is also one of the major electrolytes. Kidneys release bicarbonate when acids build up through metabolic processes. Also, potassium is a key electrolyte. Potassium is important for regulating your heartbeat and muscle function. ( U.S National Library of Medicine ) It is also important to keep your electrolytes balanced. Electrolyte loss is very dangerous. Water does not replenish the electrolytes
popularity of water bottles like Core and Essentia has been on the rise. These options are thought to be “healthier” because of their high alkalinity, which is a pH above 7, and mineral content which includes calcium, bicarbonate, magnesium, and potassium. This type of water is specifically targeted to athletes and workout gurus who want to improve performance through improving their hydration status. Although alkaline water has been said to help with digestion, prevent and even cure diseases, there
Slowly I awoke from a deep sleep to the sweet smell of buttermilk pancakes, crispy bacon, and fluffy scrambled eggs being cooked to perfection. After fighting the urge to roll over and go back to sleep, I made my way out of the soft, inviting hotel bed and into the cramped kitchen. As I glanced around, I found my parents making breakfast, and my brothers devouring down the delicious food placed before them as fast as humanly possible. I quickly made myself a plate to ensure that my brothers could
minerals. Natural, Plant-Based Foods for Lower Blood Pressure 1. White beans. White beans include navy beans, cannellini beans (white kidney beans), and Great Northern beans. One cup of navy beans contains 10% of your daily value of potassium, and 26% magnesium. Check labels on bags and cans, because some varieties provide even more! My favorite way to enjoy white beans is in a soup, much like this EASY recipe including kale. Always drain and thoroughly rinse your canned beans. There’s
acid-base in the body. Electrolytes are “substances that separate in water to form positively and negatively charged ions that conduct an electrical current” (Grosvenor & Smolin, 2006, p. 287). The three key electrolytes in the body are sodium, potassium, and chloride. It is important to control the amount of sodium excreted from the body because sodium helps to regulate blood pressure. If the body loses more sodium than it takes in blood pressure can drop. When this happens the body will release
Micronutrient intake 1. Use the following sections of your 3 Day Average Report to answer the following questions: a. Intake vs Goals 2. From your intake versus goals report: a. Pick two vitamins or minerals that your average intake does not meet 75% of the DRI. i. Why would you be concerned about having an inadequate intake of these nutrients? Vitamin: riboflavin intake was 65 %. Recommended intake by DRI is 1.10 mg and only took 0.72 mg. Riboflavin deficiency can cause weakness, throat swelling
PhysioEx 9.1 Cardiovascular Dynamics Ex. 5 Activities 5 and 6 (3.5 points) Activity Question Answer #5. Studying the Effect of Blood Vessel Radius on Pump Activity Explain the effect of increasing the right flow tube radius on the flow rate, resistance, and pump rate. Increasing the right flow tube radius increased the flow rate, decreased the resistance and increased the pump rate. Describe what the left and right beakers in the experiment correspond to in the human heart The left beaker corresponded
I'm not perfect. I still have a lot to learn when it comes to competing in physique competitions. Thankfully, I continue to pick up tips on how to best present myself in front of the judges, and I'm willing to share them with others. By doing so, I force myself to continue to improve. I can't sit back and assume that I will always be in the top tier of these competitions unless I find ways to better myself again and again. Thanks to this knowledge, I am now sharing my tips for peak week or the final

• Indicate which electrolytes you will be discussing. • The two electrolytes I have choose are Calcium and magnesium. What role does each of the selected electrolytes play in cellular function and fluid balance? Magnesium ( 1.8-2.4mEq/L) helps in maintaining a normal muscle and nerve function, it also helps with regulation cardiac rhythm and it is involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis. Calcium (8-10 mg/dl). helps with nerve transmission, cardiac excitability and muscular contraction
