1800's
Name one beverage that is high in electrolytes
Gatorade or other sports drinks, Pedialyte
Carbohydrates break down into this simple sugar
What is glucose?
True or false: Dietary fat impacts cognitive and behavioral function
TRUE: Diets low in fat been shown to increase rates of depression, anxiety, attention, and energy. There is also increased risk of impaired vitamin absorption.
The inventor of BMI created it originally for this purpose
for statistical analyses as an attempted measure of population health NOT individual health
True or false: Water can be found in both fluids and solids
What is true?
Carbohydrates are play a major role in many parts of the body, and play and especially important role for this organ
the brain
BLANK and BLANK are considered to be essential fatty acids, meaning that they are crucial for health and must be obtained through food
What are omega-3 and omega-6?
The inventor of the BMI specialized in the following field of study
Mathematics and astronomy
Name two factors than can effect hydration status
Carbohydrates also provide us with two different types of fiber (please name)
What are soluble and insoluble fiber?
Soluble fibers are found in oatmeal, barley, legumes and fruit. Soluble fiber binds to LDL cholesterol and pulls it though the intestines, excreting it as waste.
Insoluble fiber is found in wheat bran, vegetables and whole grain breads, pastas and cereals. When combined with adequate hydration, insoluble fibers can alleviate constipation, and maintain energy levels longer.

Name three functions of hydration for the body
- Transportation of glucose, oxygen, and fat to working muscles; transports and eliminates waste products in the urine
- Regulates Body Temperature
- Lubrication of joints, organs and tissues; acts as a shock absorber to protect the body tissues (eyes, brain, spinal cord)
- Digestion of protein and carbohydrates to usable and absorbable forms
- Serves as a component of mucous, gastric juices, and saliva
- Promotes bowel regularity; aids in Prevention of constipation
- Electrolyte Balance
When the body does not have enough glucose stored to use as energy, a possible physical side effect from this would be
What is muscle weakening?
