Cancer Affects

invade normal cell, steal nutrition

Stroke

is a condition that occurs when a blood vessel in the brain is blocked or ruptured so that oxygen is not supplied to the brain tissue (3rd killer)

Type I Diabetes

is a hereditary disease where the body does not produce insulin- 10% cases

Cholesterol

is a soft, waxy substance found among the lipids (fats) in the blood stream

Plaque

is made of fats, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances in the blood stream

Hypokinetic Condition

lack of movement and is caused by lack of physical movement

Low Liver

liver will produce and secrete cholesterol to arteries

High Liver

liver will remove cholesterol from arteries

Examples of Cholesterol

meats, poultry, fish, dairy products

Stroke Affects

movement, thinking, speaking, can cause death

Primary Risks for Cardiovascular Disease

sedentary living, high fat diet, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, cigarette smoking

Causes of High Blood Pressure

smoking/alcohol, stress, too much salt, genetics, lack of physical activity

Secondary Risks for Cardiovascular Disease

stress and excessive alcohol use

Coronary Arteries

the arteries that supply blood to the heart

Heart Attack

when a clogged artery in the heart muscle (coronary arteries) becomes totally blocked (by a clot) so that oxygen is no longer supplied to a heart muscle (also called coronary thrombosis)

Hypokinetic Cancers

Colon and Breast Cancer

Systolic Pressure

HIGH, the higher of the two numbers the pressure in the arteries right after the heart beats (highest pressure in artery: normal=120)

Diastolic Pressure

LOW, the lower of the two numbers the pressure in the arteries just before the heart beats (lowest pressure in artery: normal=80)

LDL Cholesterol

Low Density Lipoproteins (below and 100) , these are bad cholesterols that slowly build up on the artery walls causing plaque to form- BAD

Hypoglycemia

Low blood sugar levels

Osteoporosis

Weak bones caused by low bone density a condition that can result in bone fractures and a condition that gets worse as you get older

Insulin

a hormone produced by beta cells in the pancreases used to help control blood sugar levels

Type II Diabetes

a hypokinetic condition due to overeating and lack of physical activity

Body Image Disorder

a mental illness where a person becomes overly concerned with the image of their body

Diabetes

a person who has excessively high blood sugar levels

Importance of Body Fat

acts as insulator, acts as a shock absorber, stored energy for body fat

Conditions caused by too much physical activity

bone and joint problems and muscle sorness and strains

Atherosclerosis

clogging of the arteries (w/ plaque) especially an artery in the heart muscle

Hyperkinetic Condition

conditions developed from too much physical activity

Hypertension

constant high blood pressure

Prevention of Osteoporosis

exercise, develop muscle around the bone, increase calcium, good nutrition, medical attention

HDL Cholesterol

good cholesterol that clean up plaque and cholesterol and carry it away from the heart to the liver where it is discarded, High Density Lipoproteins(50 to 60 plus)

Cancer

growth of abnormal cells (2nd cause of death

Obesity

having a high percentage of body fat from genetics or environmental factors

Example of Hypokinetic Condition

heart disease, type II diabetes, stroke, high blood pressue
