AND ANSWERS GUARANTEE A+
✔✔Fiber - ✔✔A type of carbohydrate that the body can't digest, aiding in digestion,
promoting satiety, and supporting overall gut health.
✔✔Alcohol - ✔✔A substance that can have both negative (e.g., liver damage) and
positive (e.g., moderate heart health benefits) effects on health when consumed.
✔✔Sweeteners - ✔✔Categories of sugar substitutes like artificial sweeteners (e.g.,
aspartame), natural sweeteners (e.g., honey), and sugar alcohols (e.g., xylitol).
✔✔Obesity - ✔✔A major factor in the development of insulin resistance syndrome,
especially abdominal obesity or belly fat.
✔✔Protein in the urine - ✔✔A sign of kidney damage associated with insulin resistance.
✔✔Atherosclerosis - ✔✔Hardening of the arteries that can result from insulin resistance.
✔✔Triglycerides - ✔✔A type of fat in the blood; increased levels are associated with
insulin resistance.
✔✔HDL cholesterol - ✔✔High-density lipoprotein cholesterol, known as 'good'
cholesterol; low levels are associated with insulin resistance.
✔✔Fasting blood glucose levels - ✔✔Levels of glucose in the blood after fasting; levels
above 100 mg/dL may indicate insulin resistance.
✔✔Dietary fiber - ✔✔Consists of nondigestible carbohydrates and lignin in plants;
recommended intake varies by age and gender.
✔✔Functional fiber - ✔✔Isolated, nondigestible carbohydrates with beneficial effects in
humans.
✔✔Soluble fiber - ✔✔A type of fiber that can slow sugar absorption and help improve
blood sugar levels.
✔✔Colorectal cancer - ✔✔Cancer that affects the colon or rectum; dietary fibers may
help prevent it.
✔✔Nutritive sweeteners - ✔✔Sweeteners containing carbohydrates and providing
energy, including sugars and added sugars.
, ✔✔Nonnutritive sweeteners - ✔✔Sweeteners with little or no calories, much sweeter
than sugar; classified as high-intensity sweeteners.
✔✔Lipids - ✔✔A category of nutrients that includes fats and oils; triglycerides and
phospholipids are examples.
✔✔Phospholipids - ✔✔Similar to triglycerides but with a phosphate group replacing one
fatty acid; essential for cell membranes.
✔✔Saturated fatty acids - ✔✔Fatty acids with no double bonds between carbon atoms;
fully saturated with hydrogen atoms.
✔✔Monounsaturated fatty acids - ✔✔Fatty acids with one double bond; found in foods
like olive oil and avocados.
✔✔Polyunsaturated fatty acids - ✔✔Fatty acids with more than one double bond;
sources include fish and nuts.
✔✔Trans fatty acids - ✔✔Fatty acids with a trans configuration, produced by adding
hydrogen to unsaturated fats; can have negative health effects.
✔✔Essential fatty acids - ✔✔Fatty acids like linoleic and linolenic acid that must be
obtained from the diet since the body cannot produce them.
✔✔Eicosanoids - ✔✔Biologically active lipid compounds involved in various
physiological functions.
✔✔Prostaglandins - ✔✔Substances derived from fatty acids that play a role in
inflammation and platelet aggregation.
✔✔Steroids - ✔✔Lipids with a specific carbon structure; cholesterol is a type of steroid
with vital roles in the body.
✔✔Digestion of fats - ✔✔The process of breaking down fats into their constituent
components for absorption and utilization.
✔✔Absorption of fats - ✔✔The uptake of fat components into the body after digestion,
facilitating their transport and utilization.
✔✔Omega-3 fatty acids - ✔✔Fatty acids with various beneficial effects including
preventing irregular heartbeat and blood clots, improving lipid profile, lowering blood
pressure, supporting the immune system, and suppressing inflammation.
