Hypokinetic Diseases
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
