Being overweight increases your risk for gout. If you are overweight, a diet that is low in fat may help you lose weight. But avoid fasting or very low-calorie diets. Very low-calorie diets increase the amount of uric acid produced by the body and may bring on a gout attack.
How the diaphragm works. When we breathe in, the diaphragm moves downward and compresses the stomach and intestines to make space for the air that comes in (this is why itâs hard to breathe on a full stomach, thereâs no space for the air).
The diaphragm is a skeletal muscle that resides in the trunk of the body and separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities from one another. Its function occurs during breathing, where it contracts to enlarge the thoracic cavity and reduce the intrathoracic pressure, so that the lungs may expand and fill their alveoli with air.
