Eating a large amount of green onions or rapidly increasing your consumption of green onions may interfere with blood thinning drugs, according to the University of Iowa. Green onions contain a high amount of vitamin K, which can decrease blood thinner functioning.

It is also possible to have a food intolerance or an allergy to onions, but cases are rare. People with onion allergies may experience red, itchy eyes and rashes if an onion comes into contact with the skin. People with an intolerance to onions may experience nausea, vomiting and other gastric discomfort.

[1] "The most common de nition of lazy keto is to eat no more than 20 grams of carbohydrates per day without counting calories or tracking the other macronutrients, protein and fat," said Allison Knott, MS, RDN, CSSD, a registered dietitian based in New York City. "In theory, this sounds great for those who don't enjoy tracking every bite of food going into their mouth, but it's unlikely to result in the metabolic state known as ketosis," she said.

[2] Ketosis is the process that occurs when the body stops using glycogen (carbohydrate) stores for energy and starts burning fat instead. In ketosis, the body burns the fat you eat plus the fat you have stored. Ketosis is vital to the keto diet and its highly touted weight loss bene ts. But ketosis isn't as easy as ditching carbs almost entirely to force fat burning.

Yes, carbs are the direct source of glucose for energy and without them, your body will need another energy source.

[3] Protein, if you aren't watchful, can become that source of glucose in a process called gluconeogenesis. It could be the death knell for the lazy keto concept. "Protein has an insulinogenic response, which means that eating too much protein on a ketogenic diet can actually cause the body to use glucose for fuel instead of ketones, thus taking the person out of ketosis," said Michelle Shapiro, MS, RD, a registered dietitian in New York City.

[4] "If macronutrients are not balanced and nutrient timing, i.e., when eating meals, is not tightly regulated, it is very probable that the ketogenic diet will not be done properly, and will leave the person feeling very hungry," she added.

The author's motivation in writing the text is most likely to ....

• inform about the ineffectiveness of lazy keto

• encourage the reader to pursue a healthy life

• warn about the consequences of lazy keto

• provide information on how to do keto correctly

• discuss how keto is helpful for people in diet

There are many reasons why Japanese people live longer than the rest of us. One reason might be soybean products like tofu, natto and miso. Scientists from the National Institute of Health and Nutrition in Tokyo conducted a study into the health bene ts of soybeans and their products. They found that people who regularly ate tofu, natto and miso

were 10 percent less likely to die from common killers than people who ate no soybean products.

Furthermore, researchers found that eating soybean-based food lowered the risk of death from heart attacks, stroke and other cardiovascular problems. They said: "A higher intake of fermented soy products was associated with a lower risk of mortality."

Soybeans and fermented soybean products are superfoods. They are rich in protein, ber and unsaturated fats.

They are also a source of potassium and other minerals. Soy ber can help to lower cholesterol and boost weight loss.
