Amino Acids Any of a large number of compounds found in
living cells that contain carbon, oxygen,
hydrogen and nitrogen, and join together to form
proteins. Twenty of the naturally occurring amino
acids are the building blocks of proteins, which
they form by being connected to each other in
chains. Eight of those twenty, called essential
amino acids, cannot be synthesized in the cells of
humans and must be consumed as part of the
diet.
Antioxidants Any of various substances (as beta-carotene,
vitamin C, and alpha-tocopherol) that inhibit
oxidation or reactions promoted by oxygen and
peroxides and that include many held to protect
the living body from the deleterious effects of
free radicals. Also aids in preventing cell damage
from disease such as cancer, arteriosclerosis and
premature aging.
Appetite desire, rather than a need, to eat.

extracted aromatic essences from plants to
balance, harmonize and promote the health of

insulin-dependent diabetes is a chronic condition
now prevalent in adolescents and young adults.
Obesity is thought to be the primary cause of
type 2 diabetes in people who are genetically
predisposed to the disease.
Ecological footprint The impact of human activities measured in terms
of the area of biologically productive land and
water required to produce the goods consumed
and to assimilate the wastes generated.
Energy Drinks A beverage containing multiple ingredients which
service with expressed intent one or more facets
of perceived neurological and or psychological
efficiency.
caffeine & B vitamins, caffeine & taurine, caffeine
