What is a calorie?
|
is a unit of energy that measures how much energy food provides to the body. The body needs it to function properly. The amount of it in food gives you energy, protein, carbohydrate, nutrients and fat to fuel your body. When you eat food, your body turns the food into fuel, burning it to produce ____
is the amount of energy (or heat) needed to increase the temperature of one gram of water by 1C. |
|
|
Energy value per gram
|
Water = 0kJ (0 Cal)
Protein = 17kJ (4 Cal) Dietary fibre = 13kJ (3 Cal) Fat = 37kJ (9 Cal) Alcohol = 29kJ (7 Cal) Carbohydrates = 16kJ (4 Cal |

|
What is the first law of the law of thermodynamics?
|
Energy can be changed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed. The total amount of energy and matter in the Universe remains constant, merely changing from one form to another.
|
|
|
What is the second law of the law of thermodynamics?
|
The flow of energy maintains order and life.
"in all energy exchanges, if no energy enters or leaves the system, the potential energy of the state will always be less than that of the initial state." |
|
|
What is BMI?
|
Body mass index : a measure of someone's weight in relation to height; to calculate one's BMI, multiply one's weight in pounds and divide that by the square of one's height in inches; overweight is a BMI greater than 25; obese is a BMI greater than 30
|
|
|
Preferred energy
|
for aerobic exercise preferred energy is sugar and glucose and fat
for anerobic carbs, ATP and cp |
|
|
obesity prevention
|
exercise regularly, eat healthy, monitor weight, be consistant
|
|
|
Brown fat
|
rich in mitochondria and therefore highly metabolic and is not really fat it is muscle
|
|
|
Leptin
|
normally produced by adipose tissue and acts upon hypothalamic receptors to decrease apatite
|
|
|
those with Genetically mutated leptin
|
may become extremely hungry and obese. This may be corrected by injection of normal leptin
|
|
|
outcomes you can measure
|
clinical: death, physiologic variable like weight, fat percentage cholesterol
Disability days: Days lost from work/ school functional status financial cost: increase or decrease healthcare cost Patient Quality of life:pain, Satisfaction,side effects,energy, health perception |
|
|
health care plans
|
Medicaid: welfare, poor, have children
Medicare: elderly Self pay: can be paid through employer |
|
|
WHO stands for
|
World Health Organization
|
|
|
Type 1 diabetes
|
Accounts for 10% of all cases
Patient does not produce enough insulin Causes hyperglycemia(high blood sugar) requires insulin injections children |
|
|
type 2 diabetes
|
Most diebetics have type 2
body cells are insensitive to insulin excess insulin produced causes hyperglycemia because cells cant transport glucose from the blood into the cells healthy lifestyle choices delay |
