Questions and Answers

1.

All foods labeled "trans fat free" are good, with regards to heart health
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Not all foods labeled "trans fat free" are good for heart health.

It is important to read the nutrition label and ingredients list to determine the overall healthiness of the food.

Fish doesn't need to be consumed any more than once a month
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Fish does need to be consumed more than once a month. Fish is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for brain health, heart health, and overall well-being. Consuming fish regularly, at least two to three times a week, can provide these important nutrients and contribute to a healthy diet. Therefore, the statement that fish doesn't need to be consumed more than once a month is incorrect.

Eating "good" (mono- and polyunsaturated) fats helps you lose weight more than eating "bad" (saturated or trans) fats
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement is false because eating "good" fats does not directly cause weight loss. While mono- and polyunsaturated fats are generally considered healthier options and have various health benefits, weight loss ultimately depends on a calorie deficit. Consuming any type of fat in excess can lead to weight gain. Therefore, it is important to maintain a balanced diet and focus on overall calorie intake rather than solely relying on the type of fats consumed for weight loss.

It's important to spread your meals evenly over the course of a day, rather than skip a meal to save calories.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Spreading meals evenly over the course of a day is important because it helps to maintain a steady supply of energy to the body. Skipping meals can lead to a drop in blood sugar levels, which can cause fatigue, dizziness, and difficulty concentrating. Additionally, skipping meals often leads to overeating later in the day, which can result in weight gain. Therefore, it is recommended to eat regular, balanced meals throughout the day to support overall health and maintain a healthy weight.

Exercise helps to improve heart health by strengthening the heart muscle, improving blood flow, reducing blood pressure, and increasing good cholesterol levels.

Adults need 150 minutes of exercise every day, while kids need just 60 minutes daily.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
This statement is true because adults are recommended to engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity every week, along with muscle-strengthening activities. On the other hand, children are advised to have at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day, which can include various activities like playing sports, riding a bike, or engaging in active play. The recommended exercise duration for adults is higher due to their higher physical capacity and the need to maintain overall health and fitness levels.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The statement suggests that the main barriers to exercise are a lack of time and a lack of fun. This implies that people often struggle to find time for exercise and may not enjoy it, which can prevent them from engaging in regular physical activity. Therefore, the statement is true as it accurately identifies common barriers to exercise.

Rate this question:
9.

People that exercise alone have higher levels of adherence than those that work out regularly with a friend or spouse.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement suggests that people who exercise alone are more likely to stick to their exercise routine compared to those who work out with a friend or spouse. However, the correct answer is false. Research has shown that having a workout buddy or exercising with a partner can actually increase adherence and motivation. Having someone to hold you accountable, provide support, and make the exercise session more enjoyable can all contribute to higher levels of adherence.

It's harder to lose weight when you get more people involved in a healthy lifestyle plan.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Getting more people involved in a healthy lifestyle plan can actually make it easier to lose weight. When you have a support system of like-minded individuals, it can provide motivation, accountability, and encouragement. Additionally, having others to exercise and eat healthy with can make the process more enjoyable and sustainable. Therefore, the statement that it is harder to lose weight when more people are involved in a healthy lifestyle plan is false.
