Body composition
-the relative amounts of fat and fat-free mass in the body. Fat-free mass includes muscle, bone, water, body organs, and other body tissues. Body fat includes both fat that is essential for normal functioning, such as fat in the nerves, heart, and liver, and fat stored in fat cells, usually located under the skin and around organs. The recommended proportion of body fat to fat-free mass, expressed as percent body fat, is 21 to 35 percent for women and 8 to 24 percent for men. The relative amount of body fat has an effect on overall health and fitness. Too much body fat is associated with overweight and obesity and with a higher risk for chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and many types of cancer. A greater amount of fat-free mass, on the other hand, gives the body a lean, healthy appearance. The heart and lungs function more efficiently without the burden of extra weight. Because muscle tissue uses energy at a higher metabolic rate than does fat tissue, the more muscle mass you have, the more calories you can consume without gaining weight.

calorie restriction
A reduction in calorie intake below daily needs. Very-Low-Calorie Diets are an aggressive option for patients with high health risks because of obesity, VLCDs require a physician's supervision. These diets provide a daily intake of 800 calories or less and must be monitored closely. VLCDs are used for moderately to severely obese patients (people with BMIs greater than 30) who are highly motivated but have not had success with more conservative plans. Patients with BMIs of 27 to 30 with medical conditions that could improve with rapid weight loss are also candidates. Weight loss after a 26-week program averages 20 percent of the patient's initial weight. However, maintaining weight loss is challenging.

Effects of caffeine, alcohol and nicotine on sleep
Caffeine, a stimulant, disrupts sleep, whether it comes in coffee, tea, chocolate, or soda. Caffeine enters your bloodstream quickly, reaches a peak in about 30 to 60 minutes, and it may take up to 4 to 6 hours for half of caffeine intake to clear the blood system of a young adult. It may also reduce the amount of slow-wave or deep sleep by half and quadruple the number of nighttime awakenings. Nicotine is a stimulant that can disrupt sleep. Brain wave pattern analysis indicates that they do not sleep as deeply as nonsmokers. Smoking also affects the respiratory system by causing congestion in the nose and swelling of the mucous membranes lining the throat and upper airway passages. These physiological factors increase the likelihood of snoring and aggravate the symptoms of sleep apnea. They also decrease oxygen uptake, which leads to more frequent awakenings. Alcohol induces sleepiness but it causes poorer sleep and restlessness later in the night. Even if consumed 6 hours before bedtime, alcohol can increase wakefulness in the 2nd half of the night, probably through its effect neurotransmitters that regulate sleep. Because alcohol is a depressant, it prevents REM sleep from occurring until most of the alcohol has been absorbed. After absorption, vivid dreams are more likely. Sleep experts call this an alcohol rebound effect, in which the body seems to be trying to recover REM sleep that was lost earlier. Additionally, alcohol can aggravate sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea and trigger episodes of sleepwalking, sleep-related eating disorders, and other disorders. The impact of alcohol can even be deadly.

bigorexia
anorexia nervosa (diagnosis and complications)
Eating disorder marked by distortion of body image and refusal to maintain a minimally normal body weight. Criteria for anorexia nervosa are as follows: Refusal to maintain body weight at or above a minimally normal weight for age and height (usually less than 85 percent of expected body weight). Intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat, even though underweight. Disturbance in the way in which one's body weight or shape is experienced, undue influence of body weight or shape on self-evaluation, or denial of the seriousness of the current low body weight. Amenorrhea—the absence of at least three consecutive menstrual cycles. Anorexia nervosa carries the highest death rate of all psychiatric diagnoses and all eating disorders.25 Death is usually due to cardiac arrest, electrolyte imbalance, or suicide. The signs and symptoms of anorexia are due to starvation and are shown in Figure 8.2. Most of the complications are reversible if the person receives enough calorie replacement. However, some complications do not appear to be reversible, most notably, bone loss. Decreased bone calcium (osteoporosis) is one of the most serious long-term effects of severe calorie restriction. Peak bone density is reached during the adolescent years. After that it remains relatively stable until the middle 30s, when it starts a slow decline. People with anorexia do not reach the same peak bone density as those without the disease and thus have a lifelong increased risk of bone fracture

body fat distribution
Fat carried around and above the waist is abdominal fat and is considered more "active" than fat carried on the hips and thighs. Abdominal fat (also called central obesity) is a disadvantage because it breaks down more easily and enters the bloodstream more readily. A large abdominal circumference or waist circumference is associated with high cholesterol levels and higher risk for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, hypertension, and some types of cancer. If your BMI is in the healthy range, a large waist circumference may signify an independent risk for disease. If your BMI is in the overweight or obese range, measuring your waist circumference can be an additional tool to determine your health risk. Greater than 40 inches (102 cm) for men Greater than 35 inches (88 cm) for women
Fad diets follow a pattern of altering
Fat, carbs, & protein
Function of fats in food
Fats are a concentrated energy source and the principal form of stored energy in the body. The fats in food provide essential fatty acids, play a role in the production of other fatty acids and vitamin D, and provide the major material for cell membranes and for the myelin sheaths that surround nerve fibers. They assist in the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) and affect the texture, taste, and smell of foods. Fats provide an emergency reserve when we are sick or our food intake is diminished.

gender differences in dieting
Gender is clearly a risk factor for eating disorders, with female gender increasing risk. Sexual orientation may alter risk for males, with gay and bisexual men at greater risk than heterosexual men. Gay and bisexual men report higher rates of body dissatisfaction and disordered eating. They aim to attract men and thus may be subject to the same pressures as heterosexual women. They may place greater value on physical appearance than do heterosexual men. Lesbians appear to have the same rates of eating disorders as heterosexual women.

free radicals/oxidative damage
Humans need oxygen in order to live, yet the simple act of breathing in oxygen results in the formation of highly reactive molecules called free radicals. As the free radicals interact with other molecules in the body, they cause oxidative damage that can result in the development of a wide range of illnesses and diseases. Oxidative stress occurs when the production of reactive oxygen is greater than the body's ability to detoxify the reactive intermediates. This imbalance leads to oxidative damage to proteins, molecules, and genes within the body. Since the body is incapable of keeping up with the detoxification of the free radicals, the damage continues to spread. Free radicals occur naturally within the body, and for the most part, the body's natural antioxidants can manage their detoxification. But, there are certain external factors that can trigger the production of these damaging free radicals. These factors include: • Excessive exposure to UV rays • Pollution • Smoking • Eating an unhealthy diet • Excessive exercise • Certain medications and/or treatments
Sternberg's Love Triangle
In this view, love has three dimensions: intimacy, passion, and commitment. Intimacy is the emotional component of love and includes feelings of closeness, warmth, openness, and affection. Passion is the sexual component of love; it includes attraction, romance, excitement, and physical intensity. Commitment is the decision aspect of a relationship, the pledge that you will stay with your partner through good times and bad, despite the possibility of disappointment and disillusionment.

circadium rhythm and young adults
Over the course of the day, your body undergoes rhythmic changes that help you move from waking to sleep and back to waking. These circadian rhythms are maintained primarily by two tiny structures in the brain, the suprachiasmic nuclei (SCN), located directly behind the optic nerve in the hypothalamus The sleep cycle pattern changes across the lifespan, with children and young adolescents experiencing large quantities of NREM stages 3 and 4 sleep (deep sleep). Sleep needs are constant across adulthood, but as people get older, high-quality sleep may become more elusive, and older adults may experience less deep sleep and REM sleep and more NREM stage 1 sleep and wakefulness.

THR (% range of max heart rate)
Range of exercise intensity that allows you to stress your cardiorespiratory system for optimal benefit without overloading the system. The formula is 220 (MHR) minus your age times your desired intensity. For example, if you are 20 years old and want to work out at 60 to 80 percent intensity, you would subtract 20 from 220 and multiply by 0.60 and 0.80. Your target heart rate zone would be 120 to 160.

(FITT Principle) Frequency
The key to fitness training is the body's ability to adapt to increasing demands by becoming more fit—that is, as a general rule, the more you exercise, the fitter you become. The amount of exercise, called overload, is significant, however. If you exercise too little, your fitness level won't improve. If you exercise too much, you may be susceptible to injury. When you are designing an exercise program, you need to think about four different dimensions of your exercise sessions that affect overload: frequency (number of sessions per week), intensity (level of difficulty of each exercise session), time (duration of each exercise session), and type (type of exercise in each exercise session).
Nutrient Categories
The macronutrients are water, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. The micronutrients are vitamins and minerals. A balanced diet includes adequate intake of all the nutrients, primarily from nutrient-rich foods (as opposed to dietary supplements).

Carbohydrates
This nutrient is a major energy source. Along with providing fuel for physical activity, they also power the body's involuntary functions, including heartbeat, breathing and digestive processes. Food sources of this nutrient include grains and grain products, vegetables, fruits, legumes, dairy products and sugars. Should supply 40 to 60 percent of the average person's caloric intake.
Proteins
This nutrient is essential for skin, muscle and bones depend on dietary normal growth, development and maintenance. Getting enough of this is rarely a problem in industrialized countries such as the U.S. Complete proteins from animal sources contain all the amino acids your body needs for normal functioning. Plant sources only contain incomplete proteins, meaning some amino acids are missing. If you do not eat much meat, poultry, fish or other animal products, eat a variety of protein-rich plant foods such as beans, nuts and whole grains to ensure an optimal combination of amino acids.

stages of REM sleep
Type of sleep characterized by brain waves and other physiological signs characteristic of a waking state but also characterized by reduced muscle tone, or sleep paralysis; most dreaming occurs during REM sleep. Begins about 70 to 90 minutes after you have fallen asleep. As you enter this stage, your breathing and heart rate increase, and brain wave activity becomes more like that of a waking state. REM sleep is characterized by noticeable eye movements, usually lasting between 1 and 10 minutes. During this period, you are most likely to experience your first dream of the night. Although dreams may occur in all stages of sleep, they generally happen in REM sleep. After your first REM period, you cycle back and forth between REM and NREM sleep stages. These cycles repeat themselves about every 90 to 110 minutes until you wake up. Typically, you experience four or five sleep cycles each night. After the second cycle, however, you spend little or no time in NREM stages 3 and 4 and most of your time in NREM stage 2 and REM sleep. After each successive cycle, the time spent in REM sleep doubles, lasting from 10 to 60 minutes at a time.
Non rapid eye movement sleep (NREM)
Type of sleep characterized by slower brain waves than are seen during wakefulness as well as other physiological markers; divided into four stages of increasingly deep sleep.

Functions of Water
You can survive without water for only a few days. We need water to digest, absorb, and transport nutrients. It regulates body temperature, carries waste products out of the body, and lubricates our moving parts. The right fluid balance—the right amount of fluid inside and outside each cell—is maintained through the action of substances called electrolytes, mineral components that carry electrical charges and conduct nerve impulses. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets standards for water quality and inspects water supplies for bacteria and toxic chemicals. Adults generally need 1 to 1.5 milliliters of water for each calorie spent in the day. If you expend 2,000 calories a day, you require 2 to 3 liters—8 to 12 cups—of fluids.3 Heavy sweating increases your need for fluids. You obtain fluids not only from the water you drink, but also from the water in foods, particularly fruits such as oranges and apples.
Fats
You may think this as dietary enemies, but they are as necessary to the body's normal functioning as the other essential nutrients. Dietary fat helps the absorption of vitamins, supports cell membrane health and helps maintain the immune system. Not all fats are equal. Choose healthy unsaturated fats such as olive oil and nut oil instead of saturated fats from fatty meats. Omega 3s.
Static stretching
You stretch until you feel tightness in the muscle and then hold that position for a set period of time without bouncing or forcing movement.

Purpose of Protein
to build and maintain muscles, bones, and other body tissues; form enzymes that in turn facilitate chemical reactions. Proteins are constructed from 20 different amino acids. There are nine amino acids that your body cannot produce on its own. These are called essential amino acids. Those that can be produced by your body are called nonessential amino acids. Food sources of protein include both animals and plants. Animal proteins (meat, fish, poultry, milk, cheese, and eggs) are usually a good source of complete proteins, meaning they are composed of ample amounts of all the essential amino acids. Vegetable proteins (grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and vegetables) provide incomplete proteins, meaning they contain small amounts of essential amino acids or some, but not all, of the essential amino acids. If you do not consume sufficient amounts of the essential amino acids, body organ functions may be compromised.
