4. Metabolism • The chemical reactions in the body's cells that convert the fuel from food into the energy needed to do everything from moving to thinking to growing.

5. Anabolism • Is all about building and storing: It supports the growth of new cells, the maintenance of body tissues, and the storage of energy for use in the future. • During anabolism, small molecules are changed into larger, more complex molecules of carbohydrate, protein, and fat.

6. Catabolism • Is the process that produces the energy required for all activity in the cells. • In this process, cells break down large molecules (mostly carbohydrates and fats) to release energy. • This energy release provides fuel for anabolism, heats the body, and enables the muscles to contract and the body to move. • As complex chemical units are broken down into more simple substances, the waste products released in the process of catabolism are removed from the body through the skin, kidneys, lungs, and intestines.

7. Too Much, Too Little Obesity Over fatness to the point of injuring health. If you are 20 % or more above the appropriate body weight for height. Underweight Weight too low for health.

9. Chronic Diseases Cholesterol Cholesterol is a soft, waxy substance found among the lipids (fats) in the bloodstream and in all your body's cells. It's an important part of a healthy body because it's used to form cell membranes, some hormones and is needed for other functions. LDL (Low Density Lipoproteins) BAD LDL lipoprotein deposits cholesterol on the artery walls, causing the formation of a hard, thick substance called cholesterol plaque. Over time, cholesterol plaque causes thickening of the artery walls and narrowing of the arteries. HDL (High Density Lipoproteins) GOOD HDL cholesterol particles prevent atherosclerosis by extracting cholesterol from the artery walls and disposing of them through the liver.

10. Heart disease and hormonal replacement What is Heart disease? • any condition of the heart that impairs its functioning.

11. Heart Disease The leading cause of deaths in America. Its an umbrella term that’s associated with any condition of the heart that impairs functioning. There are a few different forms: Cardiovascular Heart Disease Structural damage/Blockage of the arteries, veins or blood vessel systems. Hypertension Heart disease that stems from high blood pressure. Inflammatory Heart Disease Inflammation of heart muscle and or tissue.

12. Osteoporosis • Is a disease of the bone that leads to an increased risk of fractures. This is when the bone mineral density is reduced, and diminishes. • Lower the risk by doing the following: • Get a lot of calcium (1300mg/day) • Engage in weight-bearing exercising • Avoid smoking • Utilize bone density testing and medications when appropriate

13. Diabetes • A syndrome of disordered metabolism, usually due to a combination of hereditary and environmental causes, resulting in abnormally high blood sugar levels. • Type 1 • is a disease in which the body produces little or no insulin (diabetes mellitus) (injections) • Type 2 • the body produces insulin but it cannot be used by cells. (maintain reasonable body weight)

14. Eating Disorders Anorexia Nervosa A disorder of self starvation to the extreme. Bulimia Repeated binge eating, usually followed by vomiting. Binge Eating Repeated binge eating, but not followed by vomiting.
