1. FATS

2. VOCAB Lipid- a group of compounds
Triglycerides- a major type of fat found in foods and in the body.
Fatty acids-a organic compound made up of a chain of carbon atoms to which hydrogen atoms are attached and have an acid group at one end
Saturated fatty acids-a fatty acid that has no double bond in its chemical structure
Unsaturated fatty acids-a fatty acid that has at least two double bond between two carbon atoms in a carbon atom chain
Low density lipoprotein- a lipoprotein that carries cholesterol made by the liver through the blood stream to the body cells
Coronary heart disease- disease of the heart and blood vessels. Atherosclerosis and hypertension are the two most common forms of CHD.
fat replacer-an ingredient used in food products to replace some or all of the fat typically found in those products

3. Monounsaturated fatty acids-a fatty acid that has at least one double bond between carbon atoms in a carbon atom chain
Polyunsaturated- fatty acid fatty acid that has two or more double bonds between carbon atom chains
Hydrogenation- the process of breaking the double carbon bonds in unsaturated fatty acids and adding hydrogen to make the fatty acid more saturated.
Rancid- describes a fat in which the fatty acid molecules have combined with oxygen causing them the break down
Trans-fatty acid- a fatty acid with an odd molecular shape that forms when oils are partially hydrogenated
Lecithin-a phospholipid made by the liver and found in many foods.
Very low density lipoprotein- a lipoproteins that carries triglycerides and cholesterol mad by the liver through the bloodstream to body cells
Cancer- a disease in which abnormal cells grow out of control

4. Emulsifier-a substance such as a phospholipid that can mix water and fat
Sterols a chain of lipids including some hormones vitamin D and cholesterol that have complex molecules made up of rings of carbon atoms and attracted chains of carbon hydrogen and oxygen –
Cholesterol- a white waxy lipid made by the body that is part of every cell cholesterol is also found in foods of animal organ
Essential fatty acid-a fatty acid needed by the body for normal growth and development that cannot be made by the body and therefore must be supplied by the diet.
Adipose tissue-tissues in which the body stores lipids
Chylomicron- a ball of triglycerides thinly coated with cholesterol phospholipids and proteins formed to carry absorbed dietary fat to body cells
Lipoprotein- fat droplets coated by proteins so they can be transported in the bloodstream
Omega-3 fatty acids- a certain type of polyunsaturated fatty acids found in fish oil and shown to have a positive effect on health.

5. Plaque- a buildup fatty compounds made up largely of cholesterol that forms on the inside wall of arteries
Atherosclerosis-hardened and narrow arteries caused by plaque deposits
Heart attack-the death of heart tissue caused by blockage of an artery carrying nutrients and oxygen to that tissue.
Stroke-the death of brain tissue caused by blockage of an artery carrying nutrients and oxygen to that tissue.
Hypertension-abnormally high blood pressure an excess force on the wall of the arteries as blood is pumped from the heart
Blood lipid profile-a medical test that measures the amount of cholesterol triglycerides HDL and LDL in the blood

6. unsaturated
saturated
*at least on double bond
*can be hydrogenated
*have a lower melting point
*no double bonds
*full load of hydrogen atoms
*higher melting point

7. Uncontrollable heart risk factors
Age- heart attack increases with age
Gender- if you are a male you have a greater risk of coronary heart disease
Race- some races are greater risk of heart diseases
Family history- if one or more of your blood relatives have a heart disease your risk increases the

8. Controllable heart health risk factors
Smoking- heart attack before 55 can often be traced to cigarette smoking
High blood pressure- strong indications of coronary disease
High blood cholesterol- if you have a family of high cholesterol or high blood pressure you should have your cholesterol level checked. People who have other risk factors for CHD should be aware of their blood triglyceride levels.
Diabetes mellitus- people with type 1 diabetes can’t view there disease as a controllable heart health risk factor—take insulin injections to manage their condition. They can’t control it through life’s behaviors.
Excess Weight- overweight people statically have a shorter life. Being overweight increases a person of diabetes mellitus and high blood cholesterol as well as high blood pressure.
Inactivity- lack of physical activity contributes to many peoples excess weight problems.
Stress and Personality- people that overreact to life’s demands may suffer negative heart health

9. Being a Detector
Know where the fat is in food and know how to avoid it.
In the my pyramid is narrow therefore the fats and oils should be a small part of your diet.
Other food also contribute fat in the diet.
When buying prepared food read the nutrition facts panel.

10. Making Diet Changes
As a teen you should start a program of good health for your self this will help you feel your physical and mental best.
Write down everything you eat and drink.
decide what is good about your current diet
Set realistic goals for your self.
Make chooses that support the goal.
