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).
Your ribs also move when you breathe in and out. Below your lungs is the diaphragm (say dye-a-fram). This is a big muscle that works with your lungs to get air in (inhale) and out (exhale). You can feel how they work together. 1  Put one hand on your chest and the other on the upper part of your tummy. 2  Now breathe in deeply. 3  When the diaphragm contracts (gets tighter) it pushes some of the organs in your tummy down so that there is more space in your chest.
