  13. Nutrition • the study of how your body uses the nutrients in the foods you eat • If you do not eat the food your body needs, you can suffer from malnutrition. (energy, growth, repair, and regulation of body processes become impaired) • eating the right foods and the right amount of foods

  14. Not eating the healthy food your body craves can cause headaches, dizziness, and stomach pangs. • This can cause irritability and mood swings.

  15. Exercise • Set a goal. • Increase exercise slowly. • Vary your activities. • Choose activities that are convenient and fun. • Use it as a social outlet. • Set a new goal once you have achieved the previous one.

  16. Physical Activity • everyday activities that require you to be physically activity • 60 minutes a day • List 10 examples.

  17. Healthy Weight • Height- the taller a person is, the more he or she can expect to weigh • Age- adults typically weigh more than teens • Gender- males typically weigh more than females at the same height

  18. Bone structure- larger body frame weighs more than smaller body frames • Body build- muscular people tend to weigh more

  19. Metabolism • Metabolism varies among individuals. • Muscle mass increases metabolism. • Basal Metabolism-the amount of energy required to maintain one’s automatic body functions (breathing, digesting, growing, etc.) • slows down as you age

  20. Eating Disorders • anorexia nervosa- eating disorder that involves starving oneself • bulimia- eating disorder that involves extreme overeating and vomiting • binge eating disorder- compulsive overeating

  21. Underweight • lowered resistance to infection • reduced muscle strength • malnutrition • weigh at least 15% less than recommended healthy weight • In order to gain weight- slowly and steadily choose low-fat, nutrient and calorie dense foods.

  22. Overweight • weigh 15% more than recommended weight • usually caused by lack of physical activity
