This is because Diabetes effects a person’s diet as the body can’t use sugar and carbohydrates as well as it should as the pancreas can’t produce enough insulin to break the sugars down to turn into a source of energy. if you have diabetes, you need to know how foods affect your blood sugar levels. It's not only the type of food you eat but also how much you eat and the combinations of food types you eat.

...Osteoporosis P1 Explanation of the condition Osteoporosis is a bone condition in which the bones become very brittle and weak, usually from a lack of vitamin D and calcium in the bones. Osteoporosis increases the risk of a bone fracture. It is a condition that affects almost 3 million people who live in the UK. Over 300,00 people who have osteoporosis are in hospital every year from fractures caused by osteoporosis. (http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/Osteoporosis/Pages/Introduction.aspx/accessed on 13th December 2015) https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRlYCA4Mm1Mtu_adX98fE_fTtEqOFOmKhbEwE-Jvl4kOE2Tj03cjg Causes of the physiological disorder When we are children, our bones tend to grow and repair very easily but this works but the density of our bones continues until we reach our late twenties or early thirties. Then our bone density will start to decrease. Bone loss tends to happen when women start the menopause because they stop getting their periods. When women stop getting their periods, the level of oestrogen in their body stops and people need it in their body to have healthy bones. This means women are more likely than men to develop osteoporosis or suffer from a fracture. In men, it has been known that the risk of them developing osteoporosis relates to the low levels of testosterone in their bodies which they need for healthy bones. Although bone loss is the main cause of osteoporosis, there are many other factors that increase your risk of developing...

...Unit 5: Anatomy and Physiology for Health and Social Care. Name: Fatimah Al_Asadi Teacher name: Miss Bull Name: Fatimah Al_Asadi Teacher name: Miss Bull Aim and purpose This unit aims to enable learners to understand aspects of the anatomy and physiology of human body systems. Learners will be able to gain an overview of the organisation of the human body before looking at how body systems work together to provide energy for the body. Learners will have the opportunity to investigate how homeostatic mechanisms operate in the body. Unit introduction This unit introduces core knowledge of cellular structure and function, and the organisation of the body as a whole, and then builds on this to develop a more detailed knowledge of the fine anatomy and physiology of the systems involved in energy metabolism. Learners will examine the homeostatic mechanisms involved in regulating these systems to maintain health. Learners will be given the opportunity to undertake practical activities which will require them to take measurements of the cardio-vascular system, the respiratory system and of body temperature, using noninvasive techniques to investigate normal responses to routine variations in body functioning. This unit provides the core understanding of human physiology that underpins the study of the specialist physiology units within this programme. The unit also provides an overview of body functioning that is valuable for anyone working or intending to work in a...

As you read through the text, note that it is keyed to illustrations used in class. The course is divided into three sections. Section one covers introduction to marketing, consumer behavior, industrial buyer behavior, the marketing environment, where marketing fits into the organization, market segmentation, and product differentiation. Section two covers product and pricing. Section three covers promotion (sales) and distribution. As you read the book, consider that it is organized as follows: marketing and its environment (consumer behavior, industrial buyer behavior, marketing environment), product, pricing, promotion, and distribution. So, coverage begins with introductory concepts and proceeds into the marketing mix elements (product, price, promotion and place). You may wonder whether this book covers all aspects of marketing. No, it does not cover all aspects of marketing. You will find only basic concepts herein. If you seek specific, contemporary examples of marketing concepts, check out a traditional textbook from the library or purchase a recent edition from a used book store. Try the Perreault and McCarthy textbook (14th edition) or the Kotler and Armstrong textbook. Section I: Concepts of Marketing A. Who is a Marketer?
