Healthy weight: Compared to overweight or obese, a body weight that is less likely to be linked with any weight-related health problems such as Type II diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, or others.  A person with a body fat percentage between 18% - 22% (depending on age) are considered to be at a healthy weight.


Heat Therapy: A form of therapy often used in patients who have chronic, or long-lasting pain. Heat therapy can involve many kinds of methods, from simple heating pads, wraps, and warm gel packs, to sophisticated techniques such as therapeutic ultrasound. While ice therapy is used to reduce swelling, heat therapy is used to relax the muscles and increase circulation. Both kinds of therapy help reduce pain.


Herniated Disc:  A disc that protrudes from its normal position between two vertebrae, due to an injury to the annulus; frequently associated with the nucleus of the disc oozing out of the center of the disk.


High blood pressure: See Hypertension.


High-density lipoprotein (HDL): A form of cholesterol that  circulates in the blood. Commonly called “good” cholesterol.  High HDL lowers the risk of heart disease. An HDL of 60 mg/dl or greater is considered high and is protective against heart disease.  An HDL less than 40 mg/dl is considered low and increases the risk for developing heart disease.


Hip circumference: A measurement of the hips, including the widest portion of the buttocks, used in conjunction with the waist circumference, body weight and percent body fat to calculate the body composition score.


Hypertension: a resting blood pressure is greater than or equal to 140/90 mm Hg. Hypertension is associated with an increasee risk of heart disease and stroke.


Hypothalamus: A small area of the brain that is a main control center for regulating eating and sleeping behavior in humans.  It has binding sites for several hormones including ghrelin and leptin.
