Give two examples of how imbalance may occur in your body and how you can stabilize it (homeostasis).
A.
____________________________________________________________________________________
High blood pressure is an example of a homeostatic imbalance. We can try to lower it and stabilize it by eating
____________________________________________________________________________________
a healthy diet and exercising regularly. We should also avoid stress triggers because this can cause high blood
___________________________________________________________________________________
pressure.

____________________________________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________________
cereal, pasta, and brown rice, would be of great benefit. Eating high-protein foods is also a good idea when you
___________________________________________________________________________________
have diabetes. This is because protein does not increase blood sugar levels, and it can help a person feel fuller
for longer.
