G7 Health test in two weeks. STUDY

Health class - how much sugar is too much?

https://www.heart.org/en/healthy-living/healthy-eating/eat-smart/sugar/how-much-sugar-is-too-much

• Men should consume no more than 9 teaspoons (36 grams or 150 calories) of added sugar per day.
• Women should consume no more than 6 teaspoons (25 grams or 100 calories) per day.

Diabetes

• Healthy human: eat meals, 

• Carbohydrates (rice, noodles, pasta, bread) —------> sugar —-insulin--> (energy to work, run, think and play). If no exercise, fat

• Diabetes (disease), diabetic (patients): not enough insulin “Sweet Pee Disease”

•  Sugar will be peed out in your urine

• Western nations, young people: too much sugary drinks (pop, juice), too much carbohydrates (e.g. fries, super sized your fries)

• Not enough insulin, high blood sugar level: wall of the small blood vessels will be cracked

• small blood vessels (toes, eyes) - loss toes, blind

• Diabetes = genetically linked. You may pass this disease to your kids

• Toast + 3 frappuccino —----> bad idea

• Have milk in the morning, juice + water (dilute, less sweet)

• Better option: water, milk, diluted juice

How much sugar per day?

https://www.heart.org/en/healthy-living/healthy-eating/eat-smart/sugar/how-much-sugar-is-too-much

Refined carbohydrates (fibre is removed before the food is manufactured)

• Taste better

• White bread, white rice, regular pasta/noodles

• Immediately changes into sugar when it enters your stomach

• Go hungry very quickly (within an hour). Must eat again

• Healthier options: whole wheat/grain bread or pasta, brown rice (takes longer to digest, less sugar in them after digestion)

• Always eat your fruits and vegetable

= math: solve algebra equation homework

- Scary story or a fall landscape story (200+ words, 10+ adjectives, 5+ adverbs). Start working on the draft

As the dim-lit full moon slowly drifted up above the distant mountain, the fog gradually settled into the valley near my house. Since I was really hungry, it might be a good idea to stroll to McDonald's and enjoy my dinner there. 

The moment I stepped out of the door, the gust of chilled breeze slithered under my jacket. Instantly, my body shivered as if I was frozen in time with Elza and Olaf.

Logic reminded me that exercise such as a jog would warm me up. Without hesitation and doubt, I quickly ran down the street to get to the restaurant. For no apparent reason, cold sweat came down my forehead, and my body trembled uncontrollably. At this very moment, a giant crow flew above my head and made a strange noise, as if it gave me a warning signal to be careful and not to continue to venture anymore.

Salut 8C,

Please make sure to take your French home tonight (paragraph on "Chaque Enfant Compte") to practice reading your presentation. Circle or highlight any words you are still unsure how to pronounce and you can ask me again tomorrow for help. You will have some more time to practice tomorrow before we begin presentations. Looking forward to hearing you present en français this important vocabulary we have been learning, and to seeing your créations pour rendre hommage aux autochtones.

A bientôt,
Mme Antoniou :)

- if you can, second page to solve algebraic expressions. I will teach that tomorrow
