4 THE BASAL METABOLIC RATE The least amount of energy required by the resting human body to keep normal functions of the most important life processes BASAL CONDITIONS: At least 12 hours after the last meal Several hours after strenuous exercise After a night of restful sleep Comfortable temperature of the air BMR the average adult -1 kcal/kg body weight/hour kcal/m2/hour Factors affecting BMR: Age Pregnancy Sex Body composition Hormonal profile Undernourishment Life style Body temperature THE TOTAL ENERGY NEED (TMR): BMR S.D.A. /Specific dynamic action of food/ Activity physical activity /everyday activities, special activities work, exercise/

5 The term "physical activity" should not be mistaken with "exercise". Exercise, is a subcategory of physical activity that is planned, structured, repetitive, and purposeful in the sense that the improvement or maintenance of one or more components of physical fitness is the objective. Physical activity includes exercise as well as other activities which involve bodily movement and are done as part of playing, working, active transportation, house chores and recreational activities. (

6 Total Metabolic Rate Men 1. Body weight x 24 hours = BMR 2. BMR x Activity = TMR Women 1. Body weight x 24 hours = BMR 2. BMR x 0,9 = Corrected BMR 3. Corrected BMR x Activity = TMR

7 Activity: 1.2 Sedentary Light Exercise (1-3 /week) 1.55 Regular exercise (3-5 /week) Daily exercise (6-7 /week) Athlete

8 ENERGY INTAKE ENERGY EXPENDITURE ENERGY IMBALANCE OVERWEIGHT or OBESITY

9 Statistics!!! in 2005, 1.6 billion - overweight million - obese to 2015, probably 2.3 billion - overweight million - obese

10 BMI - defined as a person's weight in kilograms divided by the square of his height in meters (kg/m2). Underweight BMI 18,5 Normal BMI = 18,5-24,9 Overweight BMI = 25-29,9 Obesity BMI > 30

11 Waist circumference is a helping indicator of visceral fat this fat is the most metabolically active and thus the most harmful Women cm Men >88 cm = highly increased risk 1 >80 cm = increased risk 1 >102 cm = highly increased r >94 cm = increased risk 1 1 Lean MEJ, et al. Lancet;1998:351:853 6

12 Raised BMI is a major risk factor for noncommunicable diseases such as: cardiovascular diseases (mainly heart disease and stroke) diabetes musculoskeletal disorders (especially osteoarthritis a degenerative disease of the joints); some cancers (endometrial, breast, and colon). 44% of the diabetes burden, 23% of the ischaemic heart disease burden and between 7% and 41% of certain cancer burdens are attributable to overweight and obesity. (

13 Causes? In 90% - positive energy balance

14 ENERGY IMBALANCE OBESITY AND OVERWEIGHT ENERGY INTAKE ENERGY EXPENDITURE an increased intake of energy-dense foods that are high in fat, salt and sugars but low in vitamins, minerals and other micronutrients a decrease in physical activity due to the increasingly sedentary nature of many forms of work, changing modes of transportation, and increasing urbanization (

15 How to prevent??? 1. Eat healthy!

16 Be active! How to prevent???

17 Regular and adequate levels of physical activity in adults: reduce the risk of hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, breast and colon cancer, depression; improve bone and functional health; and are a key determinant of energy expenditure, and thus fundamental to energy balance and weight control. (

18 How to prevent??? 3. Reduce stress

20 Pyramids of Food Plate Physical activity

21 WHY DO WE NEED CARBOHYDRATES? Major source of food energy Glucose - principal energy source (nervous cells, red blood cells) Glycogen - 1 % of total body caloric stores (liver g, muscle g) Necessary for lipid metabolism Components of glycolipids, glycoproteins (basement membrane collagen, mucopolysaccharides, nerve cell myelin, hormones, hormone receptors) May contain dietary fibres (cellulose, pectin, gums) Maintain good intestinal motility Bind toxins, cholesterol
