Minerals are crucial components of respiratory pigments, enzymes and enzyme systems. ex. calcium, sodium, selenium, and iron Minerals regulate muscular and nervous system impulses, blood clotting, and normal heart rhythm.
65
recommended fuel intake
carbohydrates - 45-65% fat 20-35% protein 10 - 35%
66
DRI
dietary reference intakes
67
RDA

71
DV

72
three engergy subtrates for physical activities
ATP,anaerobic or lactic system,aerobic system
73
techniques to asses body compositions
the dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (dexa) Pros: accurate Con: not readily available The hydroastic weighing technique :pool pro: accurate con not readily available, time consuming, difficult Bod pod pro: five minutes, accurate con; not available, not heavily researched skinfold measurements pro: easy, readily avilabile,simple and not expensive con not accurate
74
obese

75

an excess amount of weight against a given standard
76

78
consequences for excessive weight
```  Blood Pressure  Blood Lipids Type II Diabetes Insulin Resistance, Glucose Intolerance Coronary Heart Disease Angina Pectoris Congestive Heart Failure Stroke Gallbladder Disease Gout Osteoarthritis ```
79
Fad diets
Use liquid formulas instead of foods. Misrepresent salespeople as individuals qualified to provide nutrition counseling. Fail to provide information on risks associated with weight loss and use of the diet. Do not involve physical activity. Do not encourage healthy behavioral changes. Are not supported by the scientific community or national health organizations. Fail to provide information for weight maintenance upon completion of diet phase.

82
setpoint theory is what?
weight regulating mechanism is a feature of the hypothalamus of the brain that controls how much the body should weigh. The WRM has a setpoint for controlling both appetite and the amount of fat stored. A very low-calorie diet will trigger the body to adjust its setpoint to a reduced basal metabolic rate (BMR – lowest level of caloric intake to sustain life) .
83
energy balancing equation
caloric input equals the caloric output the person will not gain or loose weight
