How does Diet and Exercise Affect Body Systems?

Background

September 2001
|
| Our fast paced, technologically based society has
had a great impact on human health. Even though our
knowledge of what is good and bad for our bodies and our
health in general has increased immensely over the last 50
years, that has not translated into a healthier population
overall. Per capita there are more overweight people
living in North America than any other continent in the
world. The sedentary lifestyle we have adopted combined
with unhealthy eating habits also impacts our body systems
which must cope with the neglect and abuse they receive.
On the other hand, knowledge of the
physiology of our body systems has improved greatly and we
have learned a great deal about how we can improve the
functioning of our body systems through physical training
and proper diet.
