we lose to the environment. The upkeep of normal fluid balance includes regulating the content and sharing of body water in the ECF and the ICF. The digestive system is the main source of water gains; a small amount of extra water is generated by metabolic activity. With electrolyte balance‚ it involves balancing the amounts of absorption across the digestive tract with amounts of loss at the kidneys. Everyday our body fluids gain electrolytes from drinks or foods we take in‚ and in turn‚ loose them

An in vivo value of pH < 6.9 or pH > 7.8 can be life threatening. Differences in only a few tenths of a pH unit can cause illness or death. So it is important for our body system to maintain its physiologic pH. Acidosis is the condition when pH drops too low. Alkalosis results when the pH is higher than normal. Two species are required in a buffer solution. One is capable of reacting with OH- and the other will react with H3O+ and they must not react with each other. Many buffers

Forks Over Knives is a documentary directed by Lee Fulkerson that focuses on the studies of Colin Campbell and Caldwell Esselstyn‚ who pioneered the idea that a whole food plant-based diet can prevent or even reverse diseases that come from eating animal foods. This documentary did a phenomenal job of arguing in favor of a whole food and plant-based diet due to their excellent use of real life examples‚ scientific and clinical trials‚ and abundance of evidence proving animal based foods are detrimental

NRS 339L: Hyperglycemia Cindy Clair & Sara Scaggs Northern Kentucky University 1. Type 1 Diabetes: Formerly known as juvenile onset diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an immune-mediated disease. The body’s own T cells attack and destroy pancreatic beta (B) cells‚ which are the source of insulin. In addition‚ autoantibodies to the islet cells cause a reduction of 80-90% of normal B cell function before hyperglycemia and other manifestations occur. (Mosby‚ 2011)
