Calories are units of energy that provide fuel for our bodies. The number of calories a person needs each day depends on factors like their metabolic rate, physical activity level, and the thermic effect of food. Recommended daily calorie allowances range from 1,600 calories for sedentary women and older adults to 2,000 calories for active teenage boys and men. To maintain weight, the number of calories consumed must equal the number burned through physical activity and basic bodily functions, with 3,500 excess calories equaling about 1 pound of fat gain.

Lecture 4: Nutrition, calories, diseases
Food provides nutrients that the body needs for energy, growth, and maintenance. There are six major nutrients - carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water. Carbohydrates, fats and proteins provide energy, while vitamins and minerals aid chemical reactions and help regulate body functions. A balanced diet with varieties of foods containing these nutrients is necessary for health and well-being. Deficiencies in essential nutrients can lead to diseases, while excess calories can result in obesity.
Nutrition and energy
- Calorie is the standard unit used to measure the energy value of food and human energy expenditure. Various methods can be used to measure energy including direct calorimetry, indirect calorimetry, and determining respiratory exchange ratio.
- The human body derives energy through several pathways including glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain. Carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and alcohols can all be broken down to produce energy.
- Factors like basal metabolic rate, physical activity, and the thermic effect of food determine total energy expenditure, while energy intake and energy balance impact body weight and health. Regular physical activity provides numerous health benefits.
CHO COUNTING
This document discusses carbohydrate counting for managing diabetes. Carb counting involves following a meal plan that specifies grams of carbs per meal and snack, and using an insulin-to-carb ratio to determine insulin dosage. For those with type 1 diabetes, carb counting helps control blood sugar levels. Those with type 2 diabetes also need to count carbs to control portions and support weight loss through a balanced, limited sugar diet with regular physical activity. Common carb foods are listed along with serving size guidelines to estimate grams of carbohydrates from labels.

Video Planning
This document outlines the process for planning video lessons, which includes 7 key steps: 1) identifying student objectives, 2) identifying assessments, 3) determining the unit essential question, 4) determining concepts to be taught, 5) determining lesson essential questions, 6) developing the video lesson, and 7) assessing student progress. Each step in the planning process builds upon the previous ones to ensure the lessons taught align with objectives and assess student understanding.
Video Tutorials
The document discusses using video tutorials to teach lessons to special education students with behavioral issues. It notes the students have low attention spans, miss lessons frequently, and struggle to transfer information from the board. The video lessons are short, available anytime, and allow creative projects. Results showed students were more engaged, fewer behavioral issues, higher achievement, and teachers could provide more individual help.
Stis
The document discusses sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including their causes, symptoms, treatments, and how they are spread. It provides information on common STIs like chlamydia, genital warts, hepatitis B, herpes, HIV/AIDS, HPV, pubic lice, scabies, and syphilis. While some STIs have visible symptoms, many do not, and all can be spread even without symptoms through sexual or close personal contact. Testing and treatment for STIs is available through doctors and clinics like Planned Parenthood.
Emergency Contraception
Emergency contraception, also known as the morning after pill, can be used after intercourse if other contraception fails or was not used. It works by preventing fertilization through high doses of hormones that stop an egg from implanting in the uterus. While it prevents pregnancy, it does not protect against sexually transmitted infections. The morning after pill is intended for single use within a short window after sex. Possible side effects include nausea, vomiting, and headaches. It ranges in cost but can be $10-$70 without insurance. Effectiveness varies by specific pill but is generally 50-90% if taken soon after intercourse.
Abstinence
Abstinence involves abstaining from sexual intercourse and oral sex to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It has no side effects or costs but requires both partners' agreement to abstain from sex entirely. Abstinence is 100% effective at preventing pregnancy when followed consistently.
Tobacco
Tobacco is a plant native to South and Central America that is now cultivated worldwide. It contains nicotine, a powerful stimulant that is highly addictive. Tobacco leaves can be burned and inhaled through cigarettes, cigars, pipes, or absorbed through spit tobacco, chew, or snuff. Nicotine is delivered through the membranes in the nose, mouth, and lungs into the bloodstream and brain. Second-hand smoke exposes non-smokers to over 4,000 chemicals, including 50 that cause cancer. It has twice as much nicotine and tar as inhaled smoke and five times the carbon monoxide.
Levels And Daily Goals
This document outlines some new things in P.E. this year, including students aiming for at least 25 minutes in their heart rate zone daily, and the ability to skip wearing a heart rate monitor on Fridays if getting 30 minutes in their zone twice a week. It also describes fitness challenges where students completing fitness cards will be tested to determine their fitness level across several levels, with top performers at the black level recognized as gurus at school assemblies.
Intro To Health
This document provides an overview of topics to be covered in a health class, including personal hygiene, puberty, injury prevention, nutrition, physical fitness, alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. Students are asked to write down one fact they know about each health topic. They are also prompted to list three additional things they would like to learn about in the health class.
Searching
There are billions of web pages on the internet, making finding accurate information challenging. When searching, it is important to consider the trustworthiness of the website and author. Popular search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo can help locate information, with Google being best for general searches. Keywords are critical for search engines to understand the topic and provide relevant results. The document provides an example of using Google to search for an athlete, then writing a new post with details like their name, age, birthdate, education, team, and birth city.
Circulatory System
The circulatory system consists of the heart, veins and arteries. The heart is a muscle about the size of a fist that pumps blood through two circuits. In the pulmonary circuit, the heart pumps oxygen-poor blood to the lungs to receive oxygen and pumps it back to the heart. In the systemic circuit, the heart pumps oxygen-rich blood through arteries that branch into capillaries where nutrients and oxygen are exchanged, and veins return the blood back to the heart.
Tobacco Facts
Tobacco is a plant native to South and Central America that is now cultivated worldwide. It contains nicotine, a powerful stimulant that is highly addictive. Tobacco leaves can be burned and inhaled through cigarettes, cigars, pipes or absorbed through spit tobacco, chew or snuff. Nicotine is delivered through the membranes in the nose, mouth and lungs into the bloodstream and brain. Non-smokers exposed to secondhand smoke inhale many of the same toxic and cancer-causing chemicals as smokers.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
