  • Diet and exercise
    • Balanced diet
      • Carbohydrates
        • Releases energy needed to release energy and build cells
          • Fats
      • Proteins
        • Releases energy needed to release energy and build cells
          • Fats
      • Vitamins
      • Minerals
        • Small amounts for your body to work healthily. Without them you will suffer deficiency diseases
          • Vitamins
      • Fibre
      • Water
      • Contains the right balance of different foods and the right amount of energy
    • Unbalanced diet
      • You'll end up malnorished
        • Overweight
        • Underweight
      • Can lead to deficiency diseases
        • Or conditions like Type 2 diabetes
    • Energy
      • Not enough energy intake
        • Underweight
      • Different people need different amounts of energy
        • Men need more than women - unless she is pregnant
        • Teenagers need more energy than the old
      • The more exercise you take, the more food you need for energy
    • The metabolic rate
      • The rate at which chemical reaction stake place in your body cells
      • Men usually have a higher metabolic rate than women
      • Proportion of muscle to fat [affect smetabolic rate] often higher in men
      • Exercise increases metabolic rate
      • Basic metabolic rate = inherited from parents
        • Inherited factors also affect our health; e.g cholesterol levels
      • People who exercise regularly are usually healthier than people who take little exercise
