2) Being overweight emerges as second most important factor in cancer, after cigarettes
3) Diet 30-35% of all cancers caused by what you eat
e.g. red meat and processed meats with nitrates 4) Inactivity
Lack of exercise 5) Stress 6) Alcohol

3. Stress and Disease• a) The fight-or-flight response:
– See Figure 13.6, p. 574

3. Stress and Disease• a) The physiological response:
– Secretion of catecholamines and corticosteroids • Increases energy• Also reduces the effectiveness of the immune system• Therefore, the ability to ward off infections is
compromised• Natural killer cells can’t do their jobs as well
– i.e. cannot destroy foreign agents or abnormal cells – Impaired healing process

3.b) Self-Report Questionnaire• See questions shown in class• Give yourself a point for each answer that agrees with
the key below:– 1 a, b– 2 a– 3 a, b– 4 a – 5 a, b– 6 d– 7 c– 8 a– 9 c – 10 a

3. b) Type A and Heart Disease
• 7 or above =Type A – 3 or below=Type B
• Coronary heart disease:– Reduction in blood flow in coronary arteries (reduced supply to the
heart)– Atherosclerosis: narrowing of coronary arteries (buildup of fatty
deposits)– Leading cause of death in North America
• Risk factors:– Smoking, obesity, family history, high-fat diet– high cholesterol, physical inactivity, high blood pressure – Depression – Type A personality

3. b) Type A and Heart Disease (cont’d.)
• Friedman & Rosenman (1974)– 8-year study– 3,000 healthy men– Type A: Competitive
• Impatient• Time-conscious/time-urgency• Easily-angered• Verbally aggressive• “workaholics”
– Type B: Easy-going• Non-competitive, relaxed• Enjoys leisure time• Understanding/forgiving

3. b) Follow-up
• After 8 years, 257 men suffered a heart attack• 69% of these were Type A.• What makes Type As more prone to heart
disease?– 1) self-imposed stress– 2) more physiologically reactive to stress– 3) less social support
• Toxic core of Type A: – cynical hostility

4. Promoting Health! • Ways of coping with stress and preventing illness:• 1) Relaxation/ biofeedback
– Make yourself feel good!• 2) Social support:

• 3) Exercise:– 3 X per week, 30-45 min. each time– Aim for Body Mass Index of 19-24
• BMI: weight (kg)/height (meters)²
• 4) Nutrition:– Reduce “bad” fats (trans and saturated)– Reduce red meat and processed meats (with nitrates) & replace with fish and
poultry (increase omega 3’s)– Reduce sugary drinks– Increase calcium, vitamin D, whole grains, fruits and vegetables
