Chapter 18 - Perparing for your exams 

Let&#39;s dive into the world of physical activity and why it&rsquo;s the real magic potion for your body and mind. 🌟

<ul>
	<li>
	Who is this for? Everyone! There are guidelines for

	<ul>
		<li>Kids and Teens (5-17 years)</li>
		<li>Adults (18-64 years)</li>
		<li>Superhumans (65+ years)</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>
	Where to find all the juicy details? Head over to the WHO website.
	</li>
	<li>
	The WHY behind the guidelines: Lower the risk of hypokinetic diseases. Think of these as diseases because you didn&rsquo;t move enough.
	</li>
	<li>
	Exercise as Therapy (Medical Magic!✨)

	<ul>
		<li>Makes you function at your best!</li>
		<li>Say goodbye to those nasty symptoms.</li>
		<li>Reduce those meds.</li>
		<li>Keep diseases from coming back for a second round.</li>
		<li>Helps with social and emotional boo-boos.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>
	Exercise: Not Always Sunshine and Rainbows ☀️🌈

	<ul>
		<li>There can be barriers like injuries.</li>
		<li>It can be dangerous for people with certain uncontrolled diseases. Imagine trying to run a marathon with uncontrolled blood pressure. Yikes!</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Health: What is it?</li>
	<li>Physical Activity vs. Physical Fitness: Are they twins or just close friends?</li>
	<li>Bus Driver/Bus Conductor Study: What&#39;s the scoop on this study by Professor Jerry Morris?</li>
	<li>Epidemiology: It&#39;s a mouthful, but what does it mean?</li>
	<li>METS: Not the baseball team! What is it?</li>
	<li>CVD Forms: Can you name the big three?</li>
	<li>CVD&#39;s Most Wanted: What are the major risk factors?</li>
	<li>BMI Categories: From underweight to obesity III. Where do you fit in?</li>
	<li>Energy Balance Equation: How do we juggle calories in vs. calories out?</li>
	<li>Benign Obesity: It sounds nice, but what is it?</li>
	<li>Weight Control: How does exercise fit in?</li>
	<li>Leptin: Is it a secret superhero hormone?</li>
	<li>NEAT: Cool term, but what&rsquo;s behind it?</li>
	<li>Diabetes Showdown: Type 1 vs. Type 2.</li>
	<li>Diabetes Dangers: What&#39;s at stake?</li>
	<li>The Exercise &amp; Type 2 Diabetes Connection: How does breaking a sweat keep it away?</li>
	<li>Osteoporosis: A fancy term but what does it mean?</li>
	<li>Bones &amp; Exercise: Best friends forever!</li>
	<li>Mood &amp; Depression: What&rsquo;s the difference?</li>
	<li>Exercise &amp; the Brain: How does working out help our mental state?</li>
	<li>Exercise &amp; Aging: Does it keep the fountain of youth flowing?</li>
	<li>WHO Guidelines: Can you sum it up in a tweet?</li>
	<li>Exercise Hazards: What to watch out for!</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Think of hypokinetic diseases like your phone battery. If you don&rsquo;t charge it (or move it), it&rsquo;ll run out of juice!</li>
	<li>Exercise as therapy: Imagine your body as a car. Just as cars need regular maintenance and sometimes major repairs, our bodies need regular movement and sometimes a therapeutic exercise boost.</li>
	<li>Concerned about uncontrolled diseases? Think about trying to drive a car with flat tires. It&#39;s dangerous and ineffective!</li>
</ul>

🌟 Keep moving, keep learning, and remember, exercise isn&rsquo;t just about muscles &ndash; it&rsquo;s about the mind, heart, and soul too! 🌟
