Dold Hypertension During The Ice Age

Charles Darwin; the creator and innovator of the theory of evolution deemed the application of human skills of creating of fire the second powerful accomplishment of humankind (Falk,2012). During the Ice Age, Hominidae first learned of natural fires caused by lightnings and used it to their advantage. Our ancestors capability to start a fire help them survived in the extreme weather during the Ice Age (Ancient History,2010). The Earth’s temperature during the Ice Age was about -11.1 degrees Celsius (Moss, n.d.). Indeed, Ancient Greeks and other every other prehistoric civilizations valued fire since they believed it was one of the four elements that accounted for every things in the universe (National Fire Protection Association, n.d).

Potassium bicarbonate, is in fact, a prominent source for maintaining heart health. The January 2010 publication of the journal, Hypertension, published a study of the relationship between the effects of daily potassium supplement and “cardiovascular risk factors” of people with “mild hypertension”. The study showed that the participators with mild hypertension showed a “significant decrease in stiffness of large elastic arteries, improvement in left ventricular diastolic function and endothelial function, and reduction in left ventricular mass” after consuming potassium bicarbonate for 12 weeks straight (Sircus, 2016). Potassium bicarbonate outer appearance can be described as a white granular powder and soluble in water but not in alcohol. More importantly, potassium bicarbonate is also used as a “leavening agent, pH control”, and in infant formulas. Not only it is used in medicine and food but it also has agricultural purposes such as fertilizer for potatoes and tobacco. The bicarbonate properties in potassium enhances the absorption of potassium in soils. Not only so but it also reduces the acidity and corrects pH in soils. The ultimate usage of potassium bicarbonate is in Class B and Class C fire extinguisher and is one of the main fire extinguishing agent. Besides it is also a necessity in “airfield, petrochemical, naval”, etc. (Armand Product Company, n.d.). Chemical formula of potassium
