The Keto Diet – What You Need to KnowThe Keto Diet – What You Need to Know

Like most highly eMule Anleitung, the keto diet can be hard to follow and may result in uncomfortable side effects like constipation and “keto flu.” In addition, the lack of a varied diet can leave you susceptible to nutrient deficiencies. And, as a recent study found, a keto diet is linked to an increased risk of heart disease, especially when high in saturated fats like those found in meat and dairy.

A ketogenic diet isn’t new — it was developed almost 100 years ago to control seizures in people with epilepsy before medications for epilepsy were available. Today, researchers believe the diet may help treat conditions like diabetes and obesity by promoting rapid weight loss and improving blood sugar management.

Navigating the Keto Lifestyle: Tips and Tricks for Successful Adherence

The goal of the keto diet is to reduce your carbohydrate intake to less than 20 to 40 g per day to force the liver to break down fatty acids into substances called ketone bodies for energy, says dietitian Rachel Kleinman, MS, RDN, LDN, who specializes in treating eating disorders. The body breaks down ketone bodies in the liver and then distributes them to the brain, muscles and other cells as fuel.

Keto-friendly foods include eggs, cottage cheese, fatty fish and lean meats, like chicken, turkey or pork. Fruits (like berries and apples) and vegetables are restricted, as most are rich in carbohydrates; however, leafy greens are permitted, along with mushrooms, zucchini, avocado and other fruits and veggies that are low in carbohydrates. Also, be sure to drink lots of water; it helps to prevent dehydration and supports kidney health.…

Protective Coatings and Bund Linings For Chemical ContainmentProtective Coatings and Bund Linings For Chemical Containment

epoxy linings for chemical containment

The requirements for protective coatings and bund linings for chemical containment are very demanding. Government agencies, concerned corporations and individuals all demand that systems are in place to safeguard their assets and our environment from chemicals and toxic substances.

Epoxy linings for chemical containment are generally used for the construction of tanks, bunds, and secondary containment areas. Unlike rubber liners, which can be laid up and hand rolled into place, epoxy resin is applied in a liquid state and then steam cured into a monolithic system. This process allows the lining to be installed in a much faster timeframe, and it can be applied in very cold and damp conditions.

Sealing the Deal: The Comprehensive Guide to Epoxy Linings for Chemical Containment

When the lining is applied it forms an almost impenetrable ‘physical barrier’ at its surface, which is extremely effective against many types of corrosion and chemical attack. In addition, the ‘cross-linking’ nature of the epoxy resin and hardener reaction produces an almost impenetrable mechanical ‘clamping’ effect at its surface.

Two-part epoxies are very common and widely available from big box stores, with J-B Weld products dominating the market. They are available in a variety of different kits from simple tubes which require manual mixing to cartridges for specialized guns. They are commonly used for fastening countertops to substrates, and also in building projects for attaching concrete elements to others either of concrete or of stone or metal. They can also be used to seal and bed down surfaces of concrete walls and floors in a chemical-resistant fashion, particularly for sealing cracks where water, oil, diesel and other chemicals have leaked through or under the existing lining.
