Peristalsis, involuntary movements of the longitudinal and circular muscles, primarily in the digestive tract but occasionally in other hollow tubes of the body, that occur in progressive wavelike contractions. Peristaltic waves occur in the esophagus, stomach, and intestines.
As the ketogenic diet gains popularity, itâs important to have a balanced discussion regarding the merits of this diet. Let me emphasize right out of the gate that this is not a diet without merits (excuse the double negative); in fact, it has significant therapeutic potential for some clinical pathologies.
A ketogenic diet in a healthy person results in mild ketosis, which as the blog states is a natural function of the body. THis is what the body does when times are tough and the harvest fails, the winter is long and the stores are low, etc. It is not harmful in and of itself and is not the smae as diabetic ketoacidosis.
