Carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals each contribute to overall health and an individuals ability to exercise. The sources and timing of these nutrients can also affect performance.
-The protein needs for most recreational and competitive athletes can be met without the use of protein supplements. -A meal or snack containing both protein and carbohydrates should be consumed within 45 min of the conclusion of exercise.
The more intense you workout, the more your body relies on carbohydrates to fuel it. What describes the effect that intensity and duration have on glucose and glycogen use.
-completely depleting your glycogen stores will result in "hitting the wall" -lactate can be used for energy

What is true about marketing and labeling?
-most food advertising is for processed foods and packaged foods -the term "natural" on food labels has no standardized definition
Water loss includes...
-net movement of water is out of the cells -the thirst mechanism is triggered -antidiuretic hormone is released from the pituitary gland, causing the kidneys to decrease the volume of water used to make urine -urine becomes darker in color -the fluid volume in the blood is decreasing
Dehydration
-older adults, those with vigorous jobs and individuals who are physically active are at risk for this state -this state can occur as a result of severe diarrhea and/or vomiting or abuse of diuretics
Assessment of hydration
-reduced saliva production can be an indicator of dehydration -dark urine can be an indicator of water imbalance
Biotechnology/genetic engineering
-scientists inserted the Bt gene into corn to make it resistant to the corn borer -golden rice is yellow because it contains beta-carotene, which the plant can now manufacture because genes fro certain enzymes were inserted in the rice genome
Calcium
-the body stores 99% of this mineral in the bones and teeth -this mineral may be found in dairy products, leafy greens and fish like salmon or sardines
Water gain includes...
-the fluid volume in blood is increasing -net movement of water is into the cells -urine become lighter in color -concentration of electrolytes outside the cells is decreasing compared to that inside the cells
Hormones
-these may be used to increase weight gain and meat production in cattle -these include recombinant bovine somatotropin
Hyponatremia
-this state can result in swelling of tissues, including the brain -this state occurs when too much fluid is consumed in a short time
Water Balance
-this state occurs when enough fluid is consumed to allow for an equal concentration of electrolytes between intra and extracellular fluid compartments -this state occurs when the thirst mechanism has been successful
What is true about water loss?
-water loss through breathing is a type of insensible water loss -the greatest amount of water loss occurs via production of urine by the kidneys
