Pedometers, widely used as a monitoring tool, are unable to measure activity intensity. Researchers have determined that a rate of at least 100 steps/minute achieves moderate intensity activity.

The enzyme, acyl CoA: monoacylglycerol acyltransferase 2 or Mgat2 is found in the intestines and plays an important part in the uptake of dietary fat by catalyzing a critical step in making triglyceride, a kind of fat Not enough vitamin D in the diet could mean too much fat on adolescentsToo little vitamin D could be bad for more than your bones; it may also lead to fatter adolescents, researchers say |
