  1. cardiorespiratory exercise
  2. muscle strength
  3. muscle endurance
  4. flexibility
  5. body composition
three benefits with physical fitness to your overall health
  • reduces risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes
  • improves body composition, bone health and immune system
  • increases and reduce appetite (stress reduction and control)
describe how the intensity of exercise can affect which nutrients the body uses for energy
I have no idea... because we literally only talked about why supplements do not improve athletic performance, such as vitamins E and C, iron and Calcium.

I don't know why we have chapter objectives either, because they only cover half of the notes. The other half for this chapter are about what to take before, during and after exercise, and some rules for hydration. blabbity-blah.

Chapter 13
food safety

identify three types of pathogens that cause food-borne illnesses and identify which populations are more suspectible to food-borne illness.
The three types are viruses, parasites and bacterias. The people at a higher risk are the ill/malnourished, pregnant chickas, older adults and younger children.

Define the 4 c's of food safety
  1. Clean your hands and produce
  2. Combat cross-contamination
  3. Cook foods thoroughly
  4. Chill foods at a low enough temperature

Define the term "danger zone"
When food is left at temperatures between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
