Nutrition provides the body with the nutrients it needs to perform its daily tasks
Undernutrition implies that the individual is not getting enough nutrients. This can occur even if
the person is consuming more than enough calories
Malnutrition an imbalance of proper nutrients
Anorexia nervosa literally means loss of appetite, but this is a misnomer: A person with this is
hungry, but denies the hunger because of an irrational fear of becoming fat.
Self-starvation, food preoccupation and rituals, compulsive exercising, and
often an absence of menstrual cycles in women.
Untreated, can be fatal.
Bulimia characterized by recurring periods of binge eating, during which large amounts
of food are consumed in a short period of time followed by purging (through
self-induced vomiting, abuse of laxatives and/or diuretics) or periods of fasting
Binge eating disorder (BED) episodes of binge eating characterized by eating rapidly, eating large amounts
of food even when not feeling hungry, and feeling guilty or depressed after
overeating.

Obesity 15 to 20 percent above normal weight. Poor dietary patterns; include increased
intake of sugars in sweetened soft drinks, foods, and meals of high energy, low
nutrient density, and large portion sizes. At risk for serious health problems such
as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, stroke, and some types of
cancer.
Minerals inorganic material. Form body parts (teeth and bones), maintain acid-base
neutrality, regulate nerve impulses, osmotic pressure, and electrolyte balance
Major minerals needed by the body:
• calcium—milk, cheese, sardines, salmon, green vegetables
• phosphorus—milk, cheese, lean meat
• potassium—oranges, bananas, dried fruits
• sulfur—eggs, poultry, fish
• sodium—table salt, beef, eggs, cheese
• chloride—table salt, meat
• magnesium—green vegetables, whole grains
Trace minerals required in lesser amounts, and include iron, zinc, selenium, magnesium, copper,
iodine, fluorine, chromium, molybdenum, and manganese

HDL cholesterol (high density lipoproteins) protect the body against heart disease. Often called "good" cholesterol.
LDL cholesterol (low density lipoproteins) most cholesterol in the blood is of this type. Often referred to as the bad
cholesterol. high levels in the blood increases the risk of fatty deposits forming
in the arteries, which in turn increases the risk of a heart attack
Lipoproteins large molecules of fat and protein in the bloodstream; how cholesterol is
transported
Antioxidants slow the aging process. Reduce cellular damage by binding with free radicals
produced during oxidation reactions
Oxidation reactions the energy-yielding reactions in which either an oxygen atom adds an electron
to or a hydrogen atom removes an electron from a substrate (a group of atoms
or molecule)—the net result is a substrate that has had a partial or complete loss
of a negatively charge particle, an electron. Two partially charged atoms or
groups of atoms, one positively charged and the other negatively charged, now
exist
