Exam 2 Nov 2019 Flashcards
The 3 Lines of defense of Immune System
- Nonspecific Resistance/Barriers
- Innate Immunity
- Adaptive Immunity
Which nutrient is known to protect against heart disease?
L-carnitine
Describe how The Foundations affect Cardiovascular Health
- Digestion: HCl…proper stomach pH is necessary to make amino acids, calcium and B vitamins available for heart health
- BSR: blood sugar imbalances lead to an overproduction of cortisol and insulin leading to chronic inflammation; inflammation increases risk for heart disease
- Mineral Balance: Ca and Mg are essential for a healthy heart
- FA Balance: healthy fats are the best source of energy for the heart
- Hydration: dehydration can lead to hypertension
G Type (Complex)
Cardiovascular Health: Needs Vitamin B2
- Hypertensive
- Craves alcohol
- Feels pumped up
- Does not get sick
- Myocardial Infarction
Bid Ideas: Endocrine
- Endocrine is a system of complex relationships. Always support the whole as well as the parts.
- Respect the endocrine individuality of each client
- Always address The Foundations first
3 Steps of Investigation for Food Reactions
- Avoid
- Detoxify
- Deficiency
Define Bio-Individuality
The way in which a person’s current circumstances change their nutritional needs
Elevated ______ decreases T3
Cortisol
List 2 ways that addressing The Foundations supports Immune & Allergy
- Digestion: 70-80% of the immune system is in the gut. Also HCl is a barrier against pathogens
- Hydration: Overcoming colds, seasonal allergies, etc requires fluids…lymph, mucus, blood flow, and bringing moisture to lungs
Big Ideas: Mineral Balance
Calcium is a game of cofactors (7):
- Systemic pH
- Hormonal Function
- Hydration (water & electrolytes)
- Other Minerals
- Vitamins
- Fatty Acids
- Digestion
BSR Organs
Pancreas and Liver
Describe Nonspecific Resistance/Barriers (Immune System defense)
Meant to stop the entrance of invaders in the first place
Define Epigenetics
The way in which the environment interacts with our genes, turning some On and others Off
Anaerobic Movement longer than Aerobic
Anaerobic Movement longer than Aerobic
Define Allergic Reaction (vs Non-allergic Intolerances)
IgE
Sleep/Wake Homeostasis
Sleep/Wake Homeostasis
Mature signs of dehydration
Heartburn, Joint Pain, Migraines, Constipation
Why is Bone Remodeling necessary for health?
- Calcium Homeostasis: bone helps to buffer the pH level of the blood.
- Calcium is only made available for other tissues when bone is broken down during remodeling.
Describe Innate Immunity
White blood cells and other biochemical substances that provide a rapid response to a wide range of invaders (surveillance team)
Explain difference between Bio-Individuality and Epigenetics
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
B Type (Complex)
Cardiovascular Health: Needs Vitamin B1
- Hypotensive
- Craves sugar
- Feels run down
- Sick often
- Congestive Heart Failure
Big Idea 1 of 3 for Detoxification
Detoxification is a parasympathetic process
Name the nutrient that works with PTH to increase blood calcium
Vitamin D
Explain Insulin Resistance
The inability of insulin to increase glucose uptake and utilisation usually due to either chronic hyperglycaemia or loss of metabolic flexibility
Which antibody is associate with histamine release?
IgE
Early signs of dehydration
Fatigue, Irritability, Cramps, Headaches
Describe Adaptive Immunity
White blood cells that mount an attack to target specific invaders that escaped the nonspecific defenses
Which nutrient is speciic to optimal T and B cell function?
Zinc
List Macrominerals
SEVEN
- Calcium
- Phosphorus
- Potassium
- Magnesium
- Sulfur
- Sodium
- Chloride
Classes of Hormones
FIVE
- Steroid Hormones (from cholesterol)
- Thyroid Hormones (iodine + tyrosine)
- Amines (modified amino acids)
- Peptides & Proteins (chains of amino acids)
- Eicosanoids (from fatty acids)
Which glands related to Menopause
Adrenals
Big Idea 2 of 3 for Detoxification
Detoxification frees VITAL cellular and organ activities to function productively and efficiently
Big Ideas: Detoxification
- Detoxification is a parasympathetic process
- Detoxification frees vital cellular and organ activities to function productively and efficiently
- Never without addressing The Foundations; all elimination pathways must be open
What is the single important difference between Allergy and Non-allergic Sensitivity/Intolerances?
Release of IgE
For hydration, water requires _____
Electrolytes
List 4 Roles of Water
- Transports nutrients 2. Removes waste
3. Removes toxins 4. Regulates body temperature
BSR hormones released by Pancreas
Insulin and Glucagon
Big Idea 3 of 3 for Detoxification
Never without addressing The Foundations first; all elimination pathways must be open
Define Metabolic Flexibility
Ability to use different metabolic pathways for fuel
