Answer to Question 1

Metabolism refers to the amount of energy the body needs. Body metabolism slows with age. LDL and HDL are two types of cholesterol. LDL refers to low-density lipoproteins that are harmful as they cause fatty deposits to accumulate in arteries and result in impeded blood flow. HDL refers to high-density lipoproteins that are beneficial to health as they break down LDL and help clear the arteries. The key to good health is a low level of LDL and a high level of HDL. Your body mass index (BMI) is the ratio of body weight to height and reflects your total body fat. A BMI of less than 25 is considered healthy.
