BMR - Basal Metabolic Rate. Your BMR is the bare minimum # of calories you need every day just to stay alive. If you did nothing but lay in bed your body would still need calories to burn for energy for heart rate, respiration, liver function, kidney function, brain function, etc. This link allows you to calculate your BMR. Maybe you don't need to run a mile to burn off that Coke after all!

Link 3 Name/Description
Body Mass Indicator. The Body Mass Indicator or BMI is widely used as a tool to indicate how much body fat a person is carrying. A score of 40 or more indicates a clinical diagnosis of morbid obesity. This is NOT a calculation of body fat %. This site, maintained by the National Institute of Health, takes great care to stress that this formula works best for adults and acknowledges other limitations of the formula.

My Pyramid. In the spring of 2005, the U.S. Deptartment of Agriculture changed the dietary requirements of the traditional food pyramid. The biggest change, in light of rising adult and child obesity rates, was the addition of an exercise component to everyday life. The USDA has a wonderful interactive website that details the changes and also includes games and a way to personalize your diet/exercise lifestyle choices. I personally like the addition of the Stairmaster to the side of the pyramid.

Mental Illnesses. This is a link to a site that gives a list of all currently recognized mental illnesses. This ties into our Mental Illness unit in the 8th grade curriculum. Please note that this list is much more comprehensive than the list that we use in class. Most of the conditions on this list will NOT be covered in the 8th grade health curriculum. Naturally, those are the first ones that students will ask about in class.

Calorie Burner. This is a link to Prevention magazine's online site. This site gives you a choice of physical activities and calculates approximately how many calories that you burn during that activity. Remember that you have to burn 3,500 calories to lose a "permanent" pound of fat. You can lose a pound by working out with lots of sweatshirts on, but it's largely water weight that you will soon replace.

Link 11 Name/Description
Daily Calorie Calculator. While you're at the Prevention website, this calorie calculator lets you determine how many calories you need in order to maintain your current body weight. The calculator will ask for your height, weight, age, gender, and activity level. "Sedentary" means inactive (think couch potato). "Extra active" means you are training to win the NYC Marathon by running 20 miles/day. Most of us will fall somewhere in between.

Calories in Food Chart. Someone has taken the time to figure out how many calories are in different kinds of food and has listed them alphabetically. I'm glad that he did this, because I don't have the time to. Scroll down to the food of your choice. Note to Mr.Harnett's students - this is one of those times in life that I warned you about when.....spelling counts!

College Drinking Prevention. Although this site is geared towards college students, the interactive icons for "Alcohol Myths" and "Interactive Body" are applicable for all ages. Note to Mr.Harnett's students - the correct answer is still "I don't drink because I'm not 21 yet."

NJ Division of Highway Safety. Ever wonder what happens if "your friend" gets caught driving while drinking?

Ever wonder what "your friend's parents" will do to "your friend" if one of those 2 things happen to "your friend"? Well, the answers to the first 2 questions can be found if you click on this site. As for the third question.....you may not want to know the answer.

BAC/BAL Calculator. Your Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) or Blood Alcohol Level (BAL) are terms used interchangeably. This number represents what % of alcohol is in your bloodstream when you've been drinking alcohol. In the great state of New Jersey, if you have a BAL of 0.08% or higher and you are pulled over by a police officer, you will be charged with Driving While Intoxicated (DWI). If your BAL is under 0.08%, you can be charged with Driving Under the Influence (DUI). You should never drink alcohol and then try to drive.

Note to students - don't complain to me that you'll only grow up to be 4'4". Go complain to Mom & Dad. And look them directly in the knees when you do.

Web MD Web MD is one of the places that I send students when they ask questions that I cannot answer. I.e. "How many kind of viruses are there?" "What are the side effects of these 10 obscure drugs?" "Why don't my parents/teachers understand me? Is something wrong with them?" (website hasn't helped on that one)

Evolution of a Supermodel This 1 minute short film by Dove underscores a valuable lesson for the self esteem of adolescents. This shows how makeup artists and computer editing can take a girl who is not unattractive but isn't "supermodel pretty" and change her appearance to make her beautiful enough to appear in billboard ads. Pay attention to what the computer enhancements do to her face, neck, and shoulders. Adolescents (and adults) need to understand that sometimes the "ideal" images of people that we see aren't what we think they are.
