1. Healthy Living

2. Healthy body
Healthy diet + physical activity= Healthy body

3. Diet is the usual food and drink that each person consumes and is a very important part of health.
A balanced diet means eating the right types of food in the right amounts so that the body gets the nutrients it needs.
Carbohydrates proteins
Fats Fiber
vitamins & minerals Water

4. Energy
To maintain minimum essential life functions is known as basal metabolic rate, BMR.
Humans require energy to function
Obtain energy from food they consume
Measured in Calories.
The amount of calories needed depends on body weight, age, activity levels, and if male or female

5. Metabolism
Metabolism= chemical reactions involved in storing food molecules and converting food molecules into energy.
Digestion + oxygen energy

6. Weight
If you consume to many calories the excess is stored and you gain weight
You want the energy in= energy out, so you don’t gain weight.

7. How to burn food
Oxygen must be supplied to cells, and carbon dioxide released.
Heart/lungs deliver oxygen to all the organs, tissues and cells.
Energy must be transferred for the organs, and cells to work.
Lungs take in oxygen for the combustion of food

8. Regular Exercise
Important to maintain a healthy heart, lungs, muscle tone, bone strength.
Increase heart rate provides more oxygen for the body to use.

9. Overall Basal Metabolic Rate
60 % of all energy used by the body
30% account of daily physical activities (walking and moving)
10% of the energy used by the body to digest and process food.

10. Calculate BMR

11. So what should my diet look like?

lifestyle choices than to have someone else kill you!
