    1. Keep you alive
  2. Metabolic Rate
    1. Speed chemical reactions occur in the body
    2. Higher muscle to fat ratio =Higher metabolic rate
      1. Exercise increases MR

    4. Men have higher MR
      1. More muscle
Factors Affecting Health

    2. Slow growth, fatigue, poor infection resistance
    3. Defieciency Diseases
2. Exercise
  1. Increases body's energy
  2. Decreases fat stores
  3. Builds muscle, increases MR
Fighting Disease

        Specific antibodies for each cell
        Reproduce rapidly, killing bacteria or viruses
  5. Antitoxins
    1. Produced by invading bacteria
3. Vaccination
  1. Inject small or inactive micro-organisms
    1. Body produces antigens to help them
      1. White blood cells can produce antibodies in future
