Vanadinite

<p></p>Vanadinite is formed as a<b> secondary mineral</b> in desert lead deposits often associated with mimetite and pyromorphite. When first found, vanadinite was recognized as a lead mineral with reference to its red or brown color, which explains why the type locality mineral for vanadium was called “plombo rojo” in Mexico.<p><br />First discovered in 1801 in <b>Mexico</b>, vanadinite deposits have since been unearthed in South America, Europe, Africa, and North America.<br /><br /><b>Vanadinite</b> is in the apatite group of phosphates, and forms a chemical series with the minerals pyromorphite <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;

Its distinctive colour makes it popular among mineral collectors. Its streak can be either pale yellow or brownish-yellow. Vanadinite may be transparent, translucent or opaque, and its lustre can range from resinous to adamantine. <br /></p><p>Vanadinite is very brittle, producing small, conchoidal fragments when fractured.

Albuminuria is best detected by a special urine test called albumin:creatinine ratio (ACR).<br /> <br /> You will need to collect a sample of your urine (wee) for this test.<br /> <br /> <b>Blood tests</b><br /> A blood test is used to work out how well your kidneys are cleaning your blood and removing wastes. This is called your estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).<br /> <br /> eGFR means:<br /> <br /> <b>• estimated (worked out by sums)</b><br /> <b>• Glomerular (kidney filters – glomeruli)</b><br /> <b>• Filtration (filter)</b><br /> <b>• Rate (how well they filter)</b><br /> <br /> Your eGFR result is written in millilitres per minute per 1.73m2. It may look something like this: 67 mL/min/1.73m2.<br /> Your eGFR tells how much of your kidneys are working (percent).<br /> 100 mL/min/1.73m2 = working well<br /> 50 mL/min/1.73m2 = working at 50% percent<br /> 30 mL/min/1.73m2 = working at 30 percent<br /> <br /> <b>Blood pressure</b><br /> A blood pressure test is also usually performed as part of a Kidney Health Check.<br /> <br /> Blood pressure is recorded as two numbers, for example 140 on 90. It is recommended that you talk to your health professional to work out your ideal blood pressure result.<br /> <br /> To be diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, your Kidney Health Check blood tests or urine tests must be abnormal for at least three months.<br /> <br /> <ul> <li><b>How to prevent</b></li> </ul> <br /> It is important to prevent your kidneys becoming damaged further. Having protein in your urine also increases your chance of having a heart attack, stroke and / or high blood pressure.<br /> Keeping your kidneys as healthy as possible in the early stages of chronic kidney disease can slow down any damage and help your heart.<br /> <br /> There are simple ways to keep your kidneys as healthy as possible:<br /> - No smoking<br /> - Eat healthy<br /> - Take blood pressure medicines<br /> - Exercise<br /> - Manage diabetes<br /> <br />

Dark-Colored Colas</b><br /> One of the worst things is the cola especially dark-colored colas<br /> they contain phosphorus.<br /> A lot of food manufacturers add phosphorus to prolong shelf life, enhance flavor, and prevent discoloration.<br /> That phosphorus highly absorbed by the human body more than other animals, natural or plant-based phosphorus.<br /> This added phosphorus is not bound to protein like natural phosphorus and absorbed by the intestinal tract and found it in salt form.<br /> <br /> <b>2. Avocados:</b><br /> Avocados are one of the best foods the advice to take in nutritious qualities because they are rich in antioxidants, heart-healthy fats, and fiber.<br /> But individuals with kidney disease must avoid it because avocados are a plentiful source of potassium.<br /> <br /> <b>3. Canned Foods:</b><br /> The people who purchased Canned foods like vegetables, soups, and beans due to their low cost they must stop buying it.<br /> It's have contained high amounts of sodium, and the people with kidney disease must avoid sodium or at least limit their consumption.<br /> <br /> Lower sodium varieties are the best choice to buy or purchase varieties that with labeled no salt added.<br /> <br /> <b>4. Whole-Wheat Bread:</b><br /> Are you confusing about choosing the right bread for you?<br /> On healthy people, the whole-wheat bread is often recommended over refined, white flour bread.<br /> <br /> The Whole-wheat bread with its higher fiber content so its more nutritious choice but for peoples with kidney disease its prefer to use white bread more than whole-wheat varieties its due to its phosphorus and potassium less content, the reason of that its white bread less than whole-wheat varieties in content phosphorus and potassium.<br /> <br /> Note all of the bread products, contain a high level of sodium amounts so it's better to watch out and choose the fewer sodium products.<br /> <br /> <b>5. Brown Rice:</b><br /> <br /> Such as whole-wheat bread, the best is white rice because white rice has less amount of phosphorus and potassium content than brown rice.<br /> You must balance your foods and avoid excessive daily intake of phosphorus and potassium.<br /> Remember to choose nutritious foods with lower phosphorus like buckwheat, Bulgur, and pearled barley.<br /> <br /> <b>6. Bananas:</b><br /> <br /> Bananas are high potassium content and the naturally bananas are low in sodium.<br /> <br /> Unfortunately, the other tropical fruits have high amounts of potassium so it is difficult to keep your daily potassium intake to 2,000 mg if one of the tropical fruits is a daily staple.<br /> <br /> Note: the pineapples it is tropical fruit and its contain fewer potassium amounts than other fruits so it can be kidney-friendly fruit.<br /> <br /> <br />

When people talk ketogenic, they just say ‘keto’.<br /> A ketogenic Diet or keto diet is known for being a low carb diet.<br /> MCT oil are a form of saturated fatty acid with health benefits like improved cognitive function to better control in weight management.<br /> <br /> Here’s what is covered in this article:<br /> •<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>How Ketones Work In The Ketogenic Diet? <a href="https://beauthealth1.blogspot.com/2019/03/how-ketones-work-in-ketogenic-diet.html" target="_blank">See here </a><br /> •<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>What is the Benefits Of MCT Oil On The Keto Diet?<br /> •<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Is The Keto Diet Just A Weight Loss Fad? <a href="https://beauthealth1.blogspot.com/2019/03/is-keto-diet-just-weight-loss-fad.html" target="_blank">Read about it here</a><br /> •<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>What Are The Food You Can Eat On The Ketogenic Diet?<br /> •<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>What Is MCT Oil?<br /> •<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Potential Side Effects Of Taking MCT Oil<br /> <br /> <br /> <ul> <li><b>What do you eat on the ketogenic diet?</b></li> </ul> <br /> Fats and oils: MCT oil is ideal on this diet, also olive oil and organic butter.<br /> Protein: only eat organic meat from grass-fed cows that roam in a pasture naturally. Do not eat too much protein on a keto diet (ketogenic diet).<br /> Vegetables: Frozen or fresh vegetables aren't really that important, just stick more with veggies that are above the ground, leafy and green.<br /> Dairy: Most dairy are suitable on the keto diet, only try to make sure you choose full fat dairy. Choose the harder cheeses which have fewer carbs in them.<br /> Nuts and seeds may be eaten but in moderation. Try and eat the fattier nuts such as almonds and macadamias<br /> Beverages: Keep it simple, sticking mostly with water. Try and flavor with stevia-based flavors. Adding lime or lemons will do great.<br /> With the ketogenic diet behind us, let us look at what MCT oil is about, why it is being ranked as a superfood and how it will benefit your health on the ketogenic diet.<br /> You may have heard individuals in the stores, gym, or health shops, referring to MCT oil.<br /> You may be left wondering yourself whether this so-called oil that is assume to burn fat, rev up your metabolism and improve your health is just another fad or is it really a superfood. We’ve heard much spoken about coconut oil and its benefits over the years – now we have MCT oil set to take its place.<br /> Coconut oil has been touted for years as a top nutritional oil, a superfood, extremely healthy and natural, reported making your skin look like a baby, this oil can keep your cholesterol levels in check and of course, assist you to lose weight.<br /> Note: Experts say that the coconut oil got its good reputation because it contains MCT in it or medium-chain triglycerides.<br /> Now we are hearing oil that is actually called by that name, MCT.<br /> <ul> <li><b>What precisely is MCT oil?</b></li> </ul> <br /> •<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>It is very complicated if we try here to explain what medium-chain-triglycerides and long-chain triglycerides are all about, how triglycerides work. however it can help you to understand how they work within relation to dieting and food, etc. Read here for yourself.<br /> •<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The fact is that many people have been taught not to include saturated fats in their diets, but recently there are researchers and even fitness gurus who say that saturated fat are not all that bad, in fact, MCT oil, which contains few saturated fats can very quickly help to digest your foods and turn it into fuel in your body.<br /> The speed of digestion coming from medium-chain-triglycerides oil would be the very reason that the author of ‘Eat Fat, Get Thin’ book, Mark Hyman says that MCT oil could be known as the “secret fat”, the one that makes you slim – it’s because it boosts the job of burning fat in your body as well as enhancing your mental clarity.<br /> •<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>There are four different types of MCTs; caprioc acid, caprylic acid, capric acid, and lauric acid.<br /> In fact, MCT oil is just more concentrated than coconut oil. The main source of MCT and medium-chain triglycerides is coconut oil. indiveduals in the western world, such as in America, eat more from the long-chain variety fats, and that make it harder for their bodies to process fat and to digest it, making it even more harder for that fat to be converted into energy.<br /> With coconut oil which is medium-chain triglycerides, the body absorbs it more easily because there is less energy involved in getting the fats metabolized.<br /> •<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The main popular source where MCT oil comes from is coconuts, growing on the fringes of many an exotic island. The countries that mostly produce coconuts are the India , India, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Philippines, and Indonesia.<br /> In fact, Asis produces 90% of the world’s coconuts. Another countries are Mexico, Vietnam, Papua New Guinea, Malaysia, and Thailand. The coconut tree is a flexible tree, growing successfully in some different soil types. They do need plenty of rainfall though in order to thrive, Because the demand for coconuts and coconut oil has burgeoned over the last few years, a lot of these countries are searching for opportunities to increase production.<br /> For more examples of medium chain variety triglycerides would be palm kernel oil and some of the heavy whipping creams. MCT gets by distilling concentrations of medium-chain triglycerides.<br /> <br /> <ul> <li><b>What are the benefits of MCT oil?</b></li> </ul> <br /> •<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Not a lot of fat is stored because MCT oil is absorbed rapidly into the body, converting it into energy just about immediately – not much is stored as extra fat.<br /> •<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>It is quickly absorbed by the body because the chemical structures of MCT oil allow it to get processed easily; easily assimilated by the body.<br /> •<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>improved Digestion because MCT oil enhances the whole digestive processing system and because of this, also prevents constipation.<br /> •<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The metabolism is fueled because the medium chain triglycerides found in MCT oil also helps to increase thermogenesis in your body. Thermogenesis is the product of heat in a human body or an animal’s body. When the thermogenesis is increased, the metabolism kicks in and helps your body to work more efficiently.<br /> •<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Keeps your weight regular, because taking it gives you a feeling of satisfaction, preventing cravings from occurring and thereby preventing you from snacking during the day.<br /> •<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Improve your brain function, because it helps in creating ketones. this ketones are the energy for your brain, aiding in cognitive functioning, memory, and mental clarity.<br /> •<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Antioxidants properties, which can reduce cellular damage and helps to support the immune system; generally, your overall health.<br /> •<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>it's has anti-inflammatory properties, that keeping it down and therefore controlling certain health conditions that would arise.<br /> •<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Boost your gut health because MCT oil support your gut microbiomes, preventing harmful bacteria and supporting the good ones.<br /> •<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Improves heart health. A 2010 study confirm and prove that MCT oil help to prevent cardiovascular disease as well as metabolic syndrome.<br /> Apart from the above health benefits, MCT oil has proven to have skin benefits as well, and people are known to add it to their special lotions and potions, cosmetics and lip balms, etc. This makes sense, seeing as it contains antifungal, antiviral and antimicrobial properties.<br /> Truth is, MCT oils promote health and need to be consumed every day to benefit from the amazing benefits. The sources of MCT oil are coconut oil, dairy products that are full-fat,  and organic butter from grass-fed cattle. Taking MCT oil only means you are getting the above oils in a much more concentrated way.<br /> MCT oil is available in liquid form, capsules form, and powder if you prefer it.<br /> <div> <br /></div> <div> <div> <ul> <li><b>MCT oil is multi-functional </b></li> </ul> </div> <div> MCT oil, in its pure form, is quite flavorless actually, and clear. And that is how it need to be consumed just like that, without any heating.</div> <div> It's also an unrefined oil which means it has a low smoke point like wheat germ oil, flaxseed oil or walnut oil, you can't find it responds very well to heat. Let’s just say you won’t find MCT oil beneficial for cooking.</div> <div> however, What it's excellent for, is when you add it to your smoothies or your coffee and salad dressings, not a lot though, just like ½-tablespoon to 3-tablespoons. when you take too much you would cause your digestive system to be distressed. One tablespoon of MCT oil can give you back about 100 calories.</div> <div> It might be a little bit difficult to ascertain whether the MCT oil that you buy down at the store is legit because it’s still early days of discovery. Purchase the ones that say it is got coconut and palm oils in rather than bottles that say ‘has coconut derivatives’ in it. Lots of experts will tell you that MCT oil acts like you are eating carbohydrates.</div> <div> This is because it offers all that energy with a difference – MCT oil won’t raise your blood sugar like carbs do nor increase your insulin levels either like carbs do.</div> <div> Do people have problems consuming MCT OIL?</div> <div> This question is asked by many people who want to follow diets such as the ketogenic diet and others. Many people do tolerate taking MCT oil well. </div> <div> Those who if they take high dose, have experienced gastrointestinal complaints like feeling vomiting, nauseous and diarrhea. If you are one of those people, stay calm and don’t panic or give up on the benefits of MCT oil immediately.</div> <div> The best thing is to start just with small doses, for instance about half-teaspoon a few times in the day and then increasing the doses as you tolerate the oil. Think of MCT oil as a supplement to your diet, and not as a replacement for the other healthy fats that you have in your diet.</div> <div> Why Some people just can’t get enough of the keto diet?</div> <div> Ketogenic diet is the most popular diet at the moment. </div> <div> People who are on it swear by its abilities to help drop the pounds. Those who are not on it won’t understand how all the fat and butter eating isn’t affecting the peoples’ hearts. It’s pretty easy though, if you eat the right type of fats, you can burn off the fat, and even build some muscle on this diet, and this is what the celebrities are doing right now.</div> <div> The keto diet is turning out to be the Victoria Secret models’ well-kept secret as they strut their stuff on the runways of the world. Ask Alicia Vikander from Tomb Raider’s where she got her hot bod from? These celebs are finding the appeal of the low carb and high-fat diet ideal for their lifestyles and they are very in on the hype.</div> <div> When it comes to getting down and staying in shape, the Hollywood crowd know how to do it, and Halle Berry, Megan Fox and Kourtney Kardashian are no exception.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> <b>Overview</b></div> <div> Even though the ketogenic diet actually has a long history, today it is becoming a new trend, an obsession, keeping the celebs strong and sleek. Long since been the doctors have prescribing this diet to treat Type 2 diabetes and epilepsy.</div> <div> But really, what is forgotten in the hype of the ‘latest diet trends’ is that this diet is the same as what Dr. Robert Atkins and all the low carb peddlers have been trying to sell since 1960, but find out yourself to understand what are the Best MCT Oil Benefits and what the Ketogenic Diet is all about.</div><div>What Are Crystals?</div><div><br /></div></div>

The Noom diet is still too trendy.<br /> <br /> Noom describes as a program to “help you to improve live a healthier life by helping you create better habits,” and the app is designed to be your personal weight loss coach.<br /> <br /> Noom says its users have an “average weight loss of 18 pounds in 16 weeks”—a healthy weight loss rate that suggested that it could have more substance than the average diet app.<br /> <br /> So what is Noom getting right, or doing differently, to stand out in the sea of weight loss apps?<br /> <br /> Here is my article on Noom how it works, are healthy, and whether it can really help with weight loss.<br /> <br /> <b>Why you will like the Noom diet? </b><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTdUnjkSsn7jQNXrZ7OxE8xpDp44MsYxSj-rBbHUsmW-DHCr00SnaWmtJPpubH3xy0f9x-bZblWhXN4rLJ0SSRykj4TJEfU14JKGu6E3vSi2LtsDLR1YzWeystlpx2aQhVtCPYITx_KCav/s1600/Noom+diet.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="711" data-original-width="1068" height="424" loading="lazy" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTdUnjkSsn7jQNXrZ7OxE8xpDp44MsYxSj-rBbHUsmW-DHCr00SnaWmtJPpubH3xy0f9x-bZblWhXN4rLJ0SSRykj4TJEfU14JKGu6E3vSi2LtsDLR1YzWeystlpx2aQhVtCPYITx_KCav/s640-rw/Noom+diet.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <b><br /></b> The losing weight is too sure you burn more calories than you consume. The better way to be sure you lose weight effectively is to be sure you are tracking the food you eat on a daily basis.<br /> <br /> However, this process can be a bit tedious and a bit difficult knowing what is actually being put into the food you eat, which can also cause you to get poor results.<br /> <br /> With Noom, the process of selecting food so much easier, it let you browse and compare different food options which make logging your food simple.<br /> <br /> Noom has a very large food database with over 3.7 million options to choose from so here are some of the benefits of use Noom diet<br /> <br /> <b>Here is the amazing thing about Noom diet:</b><br /> <br /> 1- Providing eating plans designed by registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs)<br /> <br /> 2- Noom allows users to log meals and track exercise, read articles, search recipes, set goals.<br /> <br /> 3- Noom allows users to receive support from a personal health coach (note: not RDNs), rate your motivation level, track progress.<br /> <br /> 4- Noom allows users to connect with a group of peers with similar goals.<br /> <br /> 5- Noom takes care even addresses emotional eating, and how factors like stress and boredom may impact eating decisions.<br /> <br /> 6- Noom for many people is that it doesn’t ban any food.<br /> <br /> 7- Noom encourages eating more nutrient-dense foods (labeled green), such as fresh produce.<br /> <br /> 8- Noom not ban but minimizing the portions and/or frequency of yellow-tagged (proteins, starches) and red-tagged foods (the latter being pizza, candy, alcohol, and the like).<br /> <br /> The best thing, you can do all of this by your fingertips since you using your phone.<br /> <br /> <b>What is the potential Positives (advantages) and Negatives (disadvantages) to Noom?</b><br /> <br /> The goal of the program seems to be to help you find a new normal that’s healthy and has stick-with-it-ness, so it emphasizes behavior change, rather than a quick fix that’s likely to fizzle out.<br /> <br /> <b>Here are the potential </b><b>advantages </b><b>to Noom:</b><br /> <br /> 1- Many of the people I counsel greatly benefit from daily support.<br /> <br /> Waiting an entire week between consultations can be extremely challenging when you’re eating 21 to 35 or more meals in between.<br /> Others send me daily texts or email dairies. This type of support and feedback will have a tremendous impact on success.<br /> <br /> 2- Noom addresses social eating and allows you to do things like plan ahead for events—like a party, holiday, or vacation.<br /> Noom costs less than working with a dietitian unless the latter is entirely covered by your insurance plan.<br /> In terms of outcomes, if the participants log their eating and weights more frequently they will successfully lose weight, According to Noom, 64% of users lose 7% or more of their body weight, and 60% maintain the loss for one year at lest.<br /> <br /> <b>Here are the potential </b><b>disadvantages </b><b>to Noom:</b><br /> <br /> 1- Some people hate tracking, and find it to be cumbersome and stressful.<br /> <br /> 2- Some are also trying to spend less time on their phones, not more, and fare better with IRL counseling and support.<br /> <br /> 3- If you have any kind of special dietary needs, such as food sensitivities or allergies, or chronic conditions like IBS.<br /> here it’s best to work directly with an RDN, as a dietitian’s training includes both clinical nutrition and weight loss.<br /> <br /> 4- Some people noted that the coaching messages seemed automated, and others weren’t thrilled with the accessibility of the coaching.<br /> <br /> Finally, Some people love the app and have positive experiences. Others complain that canceling is not so simple, or that they are not happy with the content or coaching provided.<br /> <br /> For me, I like that Noom’s focus goes way beyond calories and food, and the app’s virtual approach was convenient while also providing a feeling of connectedness to a real program and coach.<br /> <br /> although while the app provides support, the user ultimately has to make his or her own eating and exercise decisions.<br /> <br /> So this app might very well wind up like a virtual version of a spontaneously ordered treadmill that soon becomes nothing more than an expensive clothes hanger.<br /> <br /> In other words, while Noom may not be a fit for all,  you really do need to be motivated and engaged in order to benefit. That means how much weight you can lose, and how fast you lose it are really determined by you. An app is simply a tool.<br /> <div> <br /></div>
