BIS FOR BACTERIAhttps://study.com/search/text/academy.html?q=Types+of+Bacteria&src=ppc_bing_nonbrand&AdGroupId=3971114835&
AdId=11570033585&OrderItemId=23590146410&Device=c&Network=o#/topresults/Types%20of%20Bacteria
A bacterium is a single-celled (unicellular) microorganism that does not have a nucleus or any
other membrane-bound organelles. Bacteria are sometimes called 'prokaryotes.' In Greek,
'prokaryote' literally means 'before the nut' (where 'the nut' is the nucleus.)

CIS FOR CALCIUM
http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/248958.php
Calcium regulates muscle contraction, including the heartbeat.
It also plays a key role in normal blood coagulation (clotting).
Nearly all of the calcium in our bodies is stored in our teeth
and bones, where it supports their hardness and structure.

DIS FOR DIABETES
http://www.medicinenet.com/diabetes_mellitus/article.htm
Diabetes affects approximately 29 million people in
the United States, while another 86 million have pre-
diabetes. An estimated 8 million people in the United
States have diabetes and don't even know it.

EIS FOR EXERCISE
http://www.healthdiscovery.net/articles/exercise_importa.htm
Helps Prevent Diseases
Our bodies were meant to move -- they actually crave
exercise. Regular exercise is necessary for physical
fitness and good health. It reduces the risk of heart
disease, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes and other
diseases. It can improve your appearance and delay the
aging process.

http://www.fruitsandveggiesmorematters.org/fruit-nutrition-database
The term phytonutrients is a broad name for a wide variety of compounds produced by
plants. They are found in fruits, vegetables, beans, grains and other plants. Each effect the
body differently.

GIS FOR GENETICS
http://www.news-medical.net/life-sciences/What-is-Genetics.aspx
Chromosomes
The genes lie within the chromosomes. Humans
have 23 pairs of these small thread-like
structures in the nucleus of their cells. 23 or half
of the total 46 comes from the mother while the
other 23 comes from the father.

HIS FOR HYGIENEhttp://webhealthcentre.com/HealthyLiving/personal_hygiene_index.aspx
Pinworms are about a quarter of an inch long. And they can cause plenty of discomfort. The worms
come out of the anal opening to lay eggs at night. This leads to intense itching in the area. Disturbed
sleep, mild pain and diarrhea are possible consequences.
Children are especially prone to this complaint. The urge is to scratch this area. When scratching,
eggs stick to the hand, and under the nails and infect anything the person touches. The eggs can pass
through air, or by contact with infected food or bed linen to others who share the premises. The eggs
are not affected by disinfectants and remain active in the dust for a long period.
A doctor has to be consulted to rid the worm infestation. Bed clothes, undergarments and nightwear of
the infected person must be washed thoroughly, if possible in hot water. Sometimes all member of the
family are advised to take deworming medication when one member is affected. Scrubbing hands well
with soap before eating should check the problem.

IIS FOR
IMMUNIZATIONhttp://www.who.int/features/factfiles/immunization/en/
Immunization prevents between 2-3 million deaths every year
Immunization prevents deaths every year in all age groups from
diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), and measles. It is one of
the most successful and cost-effective public health interventions.

JIS FOR JOINT
http://www.innerbody.com/image/skel07.html
A need for strength makes the bones rigid, but if the skeleton consisted of only
one solid bone, movement would be impossible. Nature has solved this problem
by dividing the skeleton into many bones and creating joints where the bones
intersect. Joints, also known as articulations, are strong connections that join the
bones, teeth, and cartilage of the body to one another.

LIS FOR LUNGS
http://www.healthline.com/human-body-maps/lung
Each lung is divided into lobes. The right lung has three, but the left lung has only
two, thus allowing room to accommodate the heart.

MIS FOR MENTAL
HEALTHhttps://www.mentalhealth.gov/basics/myths-facts/
•One in five American adults experienced a mental health issue
•One in 10 young people experienced a period of major depression

NIS FOR NUTRITION
http://www.fitness.gov/eat-healthy/why-is-it-important/
Unhealthy eating habits have contributed to the obesity epidemic in
the United States: about one-third of U.S. adults (33.8%) are obese
and approximately 17% (or 12.5 million) of children and adolescents
aged 2—19 years are obese.

OIS FOR
OVERWEIGHThttp://www.factshealth.com/26/how-does-being-overweight-affect-your-health/
Overweight people develop negative self-images. Lack of self
confidence could have an effect on facets of health and conduct like
social changes, interests, and the way towards reaching their
objective. Getting ridiculed is extremely nasty and it could harshly
wound one’s sense of worth.

QIS FOR QUARANTINE
http://www.cdc.gov/quarantine/index.html
Quarantine separates and restricts the movement of
people who were exposed to a contagious disease to see
if they become sick

RIS FOR RESPIRATIONhttp://kidshealth.org/en/kids/lungs.html
Your lungs are protected by your rib cage, which is
made up of 12 sets of ribs. These ribs are connected to
your spine in your back and go around your lungs to
keep them safe. Beneath the lungs is (say: DY-uh-
fram), a dome-shaped muscle that works with your
lungs to allow you to inhale and exhale air.

SIS FOR SMOKING
http://kidshealth.org/en/parents/smoking.html
Tobacco-filled cigarettes are the leading cause of preventable deaths in the United States, and can cause
cancer, heart disease, and lung disease.
E-cigarettes, vape pens, and hookahs (water pipes), which have become popular in recent years, are filled
with tobacco, nicotine, and other harmful chemicals. The risks are not fully known yet, but it’s clear that they
have harmful effects.
Chewing tobacco (smokeless or spit tobacco) can lead to nicotine addiction, oral cancer, gum disease, and
an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart attacks.

TIS FOR TRANSPLANT
http://www.organtransplants.org/
In the United States, more than 84,000 men, women and children are waiting for organ transplants. Their
struggle to live depends on a complex and technologically-advanced organ allocation system that links patients
with organs donated by strangers.

UIS FOR UNHEALTHYhttp://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/health-topics/weight-control/health_risks_being_overweight/Pages/health-
risks-being-overweight.aspx
The BMI is one way to tell whether you are at a normal weight, are overweight, or have obesity. It measures
your weight in relation to your height and provides a score to help place you in a category:
normal weight: BMI of 18.5 to 24.9
overweight: BMI of 25 to 29.9
obesity: BMI of 30 or higher

VIS FOR VEGETABLES
http://www.healthyeating.org/Healthy-Eating/All-Star-Foods/Vegetables.aspx
One to four cups of vegetables are recommended each day,
depending on how many calories you need.

WIS FOR WATER
http://www.freedrinkingwater.com/water-education/water-health.htm
The movement of water within our cellular systems also transports vital blood plasma which is 92%
made of water. Blood plasma play a critical role in buffering the body’s pH, circulating antibodies from
the immune system, and regulating osmotic balance which all helps to maintain proper body
temperature.

XIS FOR X-RAY
http://clermontradiology.com/x-ray_types.html
An X-ray machine is essentially a camera. Instead of visible light, however, it uses X-rays to expose the
film. X-rays are like light in that they are electromagnetic waves, but they are more energetic so they
can penetrate many materials to varying degrees. When the X-rays hit the film, they expose it just as
light would. Since bone, fat, muscle, tumors and other masses all absorb X-rays at different levels; the
image on the film lets you see different (distinct) structures inside the body because of the different
levels of exposure on the film.

YIS FOR YOGA
http://www.osteopathic.org/osteopathic-health/about-your-health/health-conditions-library/general-
health/Pages/yoga.aspx
“The relaxation techniques incorporated in yoga can lessen chronic pain, such as
lower back pain, arthritis, headaches and carpal tunnel syndrome,” explains Dr.
Nevins. “Yoga can also lower blood pressure and reduce insomnia.”

ZIS FOR ZINC
http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/ingredientmono-982-
ZINC.aspx?activeIngredientId=982&activeIngredientName=ZINC
Zinc is needed for the proper growth and maintenance of the human body. It is found in several
systems and biological reactions, and it is needed for immune function, wound healing, blood clotting,
thyroid function, and much more. Meats, seafood, dairy products, nuts, legumes, and whole grains
offer relatively high levels of zinc.
