Most eating disorders begin in adolescence or young adulthood.

Long-term consequence of binge eating disorder

Type 2 diabetes.

Characteristic related to bulimia nervosa

Fluctuating weight.

Amenorrhea

The absence of menstrual periods in a female of reproductive age.

FDA approved drug for bulimia

Fluoxetine (Prozac).

Lanugo

Downlike hair that grows on the body to protect against heat loss.

Anorexia nervosa diagnostic criteria

Extreme dietary restriction that leads to significantly low body weight.

Binge

Often consists of high-carbohydrate, convenience foods and may be triggered by stress, boredom, loneliness, or depression.

Psychological change in anorexia nervosa

Decreased heart rate.

Negative health effects of vomiting

Tooth damage.

Best treatment for binge eating disorder

Teaching a person to eat in response to internal hunger cues.

Binge eating disorder characteristics

Binge-eating episodes that are not accompanied by compensatory behaviors.

Potassium levels and eating disorders

Low blood levels of potassium can lead to disturbances in heart rhythm, a leading cause of death among people with eating disorders.

GMO crops research

Scientific research involving biotechnology documents that GMO crops have decreased chemical pesticide use as well as increased both crop yield and farmer profits.

Pesticide regulation agency

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Preventing bacterial growth

Increasing the acid content of a food is especially effective in preventing the growth of Clostridium botulinum.

Danger zone temperatures for bacterial growth

Most bacteria grow best in danger zone temperatures of 40°F to 140°F.

Greatest health risk from food

Contamination via viruses and bacteria.

Common cause of foodborne illness

Norovirus.

USDA food safety campaign actions

Clean, separate, cook, chill.

Foods associated with Salmonella infection

Chicken and eggs.

USDA role

The federal agency that enforces standards for wholesomeness and quality of meat, poultry, and eggs.

Symptoms of bacterial foodborne illnesses

Abdominal cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting.

Food preservation process

Food Irradiation is a food preservation process that exposes food to radiation energy, preventing microbial growth.

Benefits of hydroponics

Rapid plant growth with greater yields, as well as reduced food and water waste.

Water

One of the major goals of using preservation methods such as smoking, salting, and drying is reducing the water in food available to microorganisms.

Teens

Of the following groups, which have the lowest risk of becoming ill from foodborne illness?

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries

The agency that establishes strict fishing catch levels in U.S. waters.

cook all meat thoroughly

The best way to prevent the foodborne illness caused by E. coli (Escherichia coli) is to.

Trichinella spiralis

An example of a parasite found in the food supply.

95;70

Foods made from multiple ingredients can be labeled as organic if at least 95% of their ingredients (by weight) meet organic standards. The term made with organic ingredients can be used if at least 70% of the ingredients are organic.

the temperature range at which bacteria grow quickly

The Danger Zone refers to.

viral

Experts speculate that about 67% of foodborne illness cases go undiagnosed because they result from viral causes.

anaerobic glucose breakdown

The conversion of glucose to lactate (lactic acid) is called.

Muscular endurance

A free-weight workout that includes 15 to 20 different exercises performed for many repetitions with low resistance is designed mainly to enhance muscular endurance.

60

Overall, the decision to use a sports drink hinges primarily on the duration, type, and intensity of the activity. As the projected duration of continuous activity approaches 60 minutes or longer, the advantages of sports drinks over plain water emerge.

150 to 300; 75 to 150

The Physical Activity Guidelines recommends that adults participate in at least 150 to 300 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity, or 75 to 150 minutes per week of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity.

Caffeine

An ergogenic aid that may cause anxiety and insomnia.

Heat exhaustion

The heat-related illness characterized by cold, pale, and clammy skin; fast, weak pulse; tiredness or weakness; and dizziness.

2 minutes to several hours

Aerobic glucose breakdown provides most of the energy for sports activities lasting 2 minutes to several hours.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

The high-energy compound that cells use to fuel chemical reactions.

breakdown of fatty acids

Most of the ATP for an 8-hour continuous, moderate-intensity hike will be derived from the breakdown of fatty acids.

Marathons, cross-country skiing, and triathlons

Carbohydrate loading may be most beneficial for athletes engaging in these activities.

enhance aerobic capacity

The goal of blood doping is to enhance aerobic capacity.

have her blood hemoglobin level checked to determine if a deficiency exists that may require iron supplementation

To prevent iron deficiency, a female athlete should have her blood hemoglobin level checked to determine if a deficiency exists that may require iron supplementation.

The use of protein as an energy source is greater for endurance athletes than for those who body build or lift weights

This statement about protein as an energy source is true.

Cardiovascular disease, extreme mood swings, and sleep disturbances

Anabolic steroid use may cause these side effects.

Phosphocreatine

A high-energy compound that resupplies ATP for quick bursts of activity lasting up to 15 seconds.

electrolyte minerals

An adequate sports drink contains electrolyte minerals.

Electrolyte replacement beverages

Permissible supplement for athletic departments to provide to athletes as defined by the NCAA.

1 to 4 hours

For a pre-event meal, rich sources of carbohydrates should be eaten 1 to 4 hours before an endurance event.

amino acids

During endurance exercise, amino acids can supply about 15% of energy for exercising muscles.
