NTR 109 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Triceps Brachii Muscle, Photon, Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry
Document Summary
The minimum energy expended to keep a resting, awake body alive. Includes energy needed for maintaining a heartbeat, respiration, body temperature. Type of activity, duration, intensity: more activity, more energy burned. Lack of activity is the major cause of obesity. Energy used in digestion, absorption and transfer of nutrients.

Bmr), low calorie diet ( bmr), malnutrition ( bmr) Obesity statistics - this is the 1st generation that will have worse health problems than the generation before. Hypertension, type 2 diabetes, cvd, cancer, degenerative joint disease, low self-esteem, liver problems, sleep apnea. Based on how you feel, weight history, fat distribution, family history of obesityrelated disease, current health status, and lifestyle.
