Question 1

what is the karvonen formula?

Accepted Answer

Complicated: The karvonen formula is a mathematical formula that helps you determine your target heart rate (hr) training zone. The formula uses maximum and resting heart rate with the desired training intensity to get a target heart rate.

Target heart rate = ((max hr − resting hr) × %intensity) + resting hr example.

Herbal concoction: Maximum testosterole herbal male complex claims that it may aid: 1. Boosts production of male hormones naturally and safely. 2. Nourishes the reproductive system. 3. Maximizes sexual response and performance
increases testosterone levels.  None of thsi has been researched or approved by fda or such use.  Since it is herbal they dont need fda approval.

Question 3

alimentum formula is what?

Accepted Answer

Elemental formula: Alimentum is a baby formula made up basic nutritional fats & sugars with proteins that have been broken down into aminoacids. This approach allows the formula to be given to kids with cow or soy allergy which are the proteins used  for most baby formulas.

Question 4

what is the karvonen formula for thr if i am using metopolol?

Question 5

can formula cause colic?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Technically, colic is "unexplained crying"; but lots of babies who have colic, get better with change to a hypoallergenic formula or breast milk.

Question 6

can i change baby formula?

Accepted Answer

Yes,but: Formulas are not like paper clips, no two are identical & an infant may have trouble transitioning between products.There are 3 basic types: those based on bovine milk protein, those on soy, and those with protein pieces the body will not reject if allergic to either. Be cautious & monitor the child's reactions to any change  & be ready for vomiting or diarrhea as the most common rxn as a problem.

Question 7

should baby formula be warmed?

Accepted Answer

Not necessary: This practice is unnecessary. Some infants prefer it warm or cold or room temperature. You can train baby to take it in any fashion. It was common practice in the past, believing baby might loose energy warming up the feed, but the energy loss in not significant. In the microwave era, many babies actually suffer significant mouth burns when the feed is too hot.

Question 8

which baby formula to start on?

Accepted Answer

Adding formula...: After a baby has learned to be a good breastfeeder, it is ok to supplement breastfeeding with formula. Normal babies can drink any regular cow-milk infant formula (can select a well-known brand). However, supplementation is not needed unless the baby is very hungry after breastfeeding and cannot wait until the next breastfeeding; or unless the baby is not gaining weight properly.

Question 9

is it okay to reheat baby formula?

Accepted Answer

I suppose,but: I never encourage heating it to begin with. Heating bottles are a old time practice that makes little sense & does little for baby.After microwaves came along it  resulted in many mouth burns due to overheating. Babies get use to it at room temperature or right out of the fridge.

Question 10

can you mix pedialyte with formula?

Accepted Answer

Yes but why?: We usually use pedialyte for vomiting and diarrhea to maintain electrolyte balance. Formula with water is balanced and has appropriate nutrients so it really isn't necessary to mix pedialyte and formula. I might suggest using a teaspoon or two of formal in a bottle of pedialyte for a child who won't drink anything but milk..This gives the taste of milk with more pedialyte.
