Answer to Question 1

An increase in CO2 causes an increase in ICP. An increase in food causes an increase in CO2.

Answer to Question 2

Sodium that is retained in the body and not excreted in a normal fashion causes an accumulation of body water or edema. Some people are considered to be salt sensitive and, even with normal sodium excretion, tend to retain fluid and need to have sodium restricted. A normal sodium recommendation is 2.4 g/d; thus, a 2 g Na diet is not that much of a restriction and is what is typically used.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
