      • unbalanced diet
        • become malnourished
          • to fat/ too thin
          • suffer from deficiency diseases
      • metabolic rate
        • rate at which
          • chemical reactions
            • take place in the body
    • diet and cholesterol
      • high level of cholesterol
        • increases risk
          • developing plaques in artery walls

        • unsaturated
          • lower blood cholesterol levels
        • saturated
          • raises blood cholesterol levels

          • cause disease
            • called pathogens
        • bacteria
          • reproduce rapidly
            • inside the body

      • epidemic
        • widespread
      • pandemic
        • national and international
    • drugs against disease
      • antibiotics
        • kill bacteria inside your body
          • without killing your own cells
        • do not always work
          • bacteria can become resistant

            • injected into body
    • growing bacteria
      • culture
        • should be kept lower than 25 degrees
      • sterile technique
        • stop contamination
