        2. Fats
          1. Provides a slow store of energy
            1. Saturated
              1. Increase cholesterol levels
              2. mono-unsaturated
                1. Good for health, regulate cholesterol levels
                2. Poly-unsaturated
                  1. Good for health
                3. Vitamins
                  1. Help the body work
                  2. Minerals
                    1. Help release energy from food
                    2. Fibre
                      1. Aids the digestive system
                      2. Water
                        1. Keeps the body hydrated ad prevents dehydration
                        2. If you are missing even one of these food groups you become malnourished
                          1. Salt
                            1. Too much can cause heart and kidney disease and increase risk of a stroke
                          2. Metabolic Rate
                            1. Differs from person to person
                              1. Teenagers need more because they are growing
                                1. Elderly people need less because they aren't as active
                                  1. Proportion of fat to muscle ratio affects your metabolic rate
                                    1. Men generally have a higher muscle to fat ratio compared to women
                                      1. This means men have a higher metabolic rate
                                    2. cholesterol
                                      1. LDL's
                                        1. Low density lipoproteins
                                          1. Bad, lead cholesterol to cells and float around in the blood
                                          2. HDL's
                                            1. High density lipoproteins
                                              1. Good, lead excess cholesterol to the liver to be destroyed
                                              2. Cause heart disease
