Q

Describe how The Foundations affect Cardiovascular Health

A
  1. Digestion: HCl…proper stomach pH is necessary to make amino acids, calcium and B vitamins available for heart health
  2. BSR: blood sugar imbalances lead to an overproduction of cortisol and insulin leading to chronic inflammation; inflammation increases risk for heart disease
  3. Mineral Balance: Ca and Mg are essential for a healthy heart
  4. FA Balance: healthy fats are the best source of energy for the heart
  5. Hydration: dehydration can lead to hypertension

Q

List 2 ways that addressing The Foundations supports Immune & Allergy

A
  1. Digestion: 70-80% of the immune system is in the gut. Also HCl is a barrier against pathogens
  2. Hydration: Overcoming colds, seasonal allergies, etc requires fluids…lymph, mucus, blood flow, and bringing moisture to lungs

Q

Sleep/Wake Homeostasis

A

Sleep/Wake Homeostasis

17
Q

Mature signs of dehydration

A

Heartburn, Joint Pain, Migraines, Constipation

18
Q

Why is Bone Remodeling necessary for health?

A
  1. Calcium Homeostasis: bone helps to buffer the pH level of the blood.
  2. Calcium is only made available for other tissues when bone is broken down during remodeling.
19
Q

Describe Innate Immunity

A

White blood cells and other biochemical substances that provide a rapid response to a wide range of invaders (surveillance team)

20
Q

Explain difference between Bio-Individuality and Epigenetics

A

Bio-Individuality: the way in which a person’s current circumstances change their nutritional needs

Epigenetics: the way in which the environment interacts with our genes, turning some On and others Off

21
Q

B Type (Complex)

A

Cardiovascular Health: Needs Vitamin B1

  1. Hypotensive
  2. Craves sugar
  3. Feels run down
  4. Sick often
  5. Congestive Heart Failure
22
Q

Big Idea 1 of 3 for Detoxification

A

Detoxification is a parasympathetic process

23
Q

Name the nutrient that works with PTH to increase blood calcium

A

Vitamin D

24
Q

Explain Insulin Resistance

A

The inability of insulin to increase glucose uptake and utilisation usually due to either chronic hyperglycaemia or loss of metabolic flexibility

25
Q

Which antibody is associate with histamine release?

A

IgE

26
Q

Early signs of dehydration

A

Fatigue, Irritability, Cramps, Headaches

27
Q

Describe Adaptive Immunity

A

White blood cells that mount an attack to target specific invaders that escaped the nonspecific defenses

28
Q

Which nutrient is speciic to optimal T and B cell function?

A

Zinc

29
Q

List Macrominerals

A

SEVEN

  1. Calcium
  2. Phosphorus
  3. Potassium
  4. Magnesium
  5. Sulfur

  3. Amines (modified amino acids)
  4. Peptides & Proteins (chains of amino acids)

Which glands related to Menopause

A

Adrenals

32
Q

Big Idea 2 of 3 for Detoxification

A

Detoxification frees VITAL cellular and organ activities to function productively and efficiently

33
Q

Big Ideas: Detoxification

A
  1. Detoxification is a parasympathetic process
  2. Detoxification frees vital cellular and organ activities to function productively and efficiently
