-smoking
-hypertension
-type 2 diabetes
modifiable risk factors - ANSWERSthose that a person can control

What can exercise potentially do? - ANSWERSit can potentiate the hypoglycemic effect
of injection insulin. Resulting in the muscle cells being better ableto use any available
insulin to take up glucose during and after exercise.
How does injected insulin effect exercise? - ANSWERSthe plasma insulin
concentration does not decrease with exercise, hepatic glucose is slower to be
produced as fast as it would be with natural insulin, this results in a decrease in blood
glucose concentration levels.
What cause high blood glucose levels? - ANSWERS-insulin levels (or effective use of
it)
-stress
-diet
(including any type of carbohydrate)
-lack of exercise
, -dehydration
When should you take nutritional supplements vs eating a variety of foods -

increased blood pressure,(>130/85mm),
high blood sugar,
excess body fat around the waist (38"+) andcholesterol
or triglyceride levels(if>150 mg/dl).
How is metabolic syndrome diagnosed? - ANSWERSDiagnosed via blood test, in HDL,
LDL levels, and blood pressure.
What is Vitamin E and how does it effect coumadin? - ANSWERSVitamin E and
Coumadin/Warfarin will increase the risk of bleeding, as they bothinterfere with the
actions of vitamin K needed for clotting.
What are atherosclerosis risk factors? - ANSWERS-age
-family history
-heredity
-high cholesterol levels
-high LDL's
-low HDL
-poor diet quality
-physical inactivity
-smoking
-comorbidities.
Whos at the highest risk for developing coronary heart disease? - ANSWERSAny
person who does Not participate in any physical activity
What is a diet to decrease heart disease risk? - ANSWERS-Increasing dietary fiber
consumption can lower blood cholesterol and lipid levels.
-It replaces high fat foods, and binds to lipids and cholesterol asthey move through the
intestinal tract.
-Soluble fiber can reduce the risk of heart disease (e.g. found in oatmeal and apples
with skin). Reducing the amount of saturated fats can decrease the risk of heart
disease.
What is HDL? - ANSWERShigh density lipoproteins (good) Decreases cholesterol in
the bloodvessels and transports it to the liver, levels should be >60 mg/DL.
