3.

Foods high in _______ slow down the release of glucose from food into the blood.
- A. Fiber
- B. Protein
- C. Calcium
- D. Fat
Correct Answer

A. A. Fiber

Explanation

Foods high in fiber slow down the release of glucose from food into the blood because fiber is a type of carbohydrate that cannot be broken down by the body. Instead, it passes through the digestive system largely intact. This slows down the digestion process and the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream, resulting in a more gradual and steady release of glucose.

Rate this question:
4.

Eating refined sugar is associated with the cardiovascular disease risk factors below EXCEPT
- A. High triglycerides
- B. Low HDL
- C. High blood pressure
- D. Decreased insulin sensitivity
Correct Answer

A. C. High blood pressure

Explanation

Eating refined sugar is associated with high triglycerides, low HDL (good cholesterol), and decreased insulin sensitivity. However, there is no direct association between eating refined sugar and high blood pressure. While excessive sugar consumption may indirectly contribute to high blood pressure by causing weight gain and obesity, it is not a direct risk factor for hypertension.

Rate this question:
5.

Which type of fat has anti-inflammatory properties
- A. Omega-6
- B. Saturated fat
- C. Trans fat
- D. Omega-3
Correct Answer

A. D. Omega-3

Explanation

Omega-3 fats have anti-inflammatory properties. They are a type of polyunsaturated fat that has been shown to reduce inflammation in the body. Omega-3 fats are found in fatty fish, such as salmon and sardines, as well as in walnuts, flaxseeds, and chia seeds. They are beneficial for overall health and have been linked to a reduced risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, arthritis, and certain types of cancer.

Rate this question:
6.

All foods have the same effect on blood sugar.
- A. True
- B. False
Correct Answer

A. B. False

Explanation

This statement is false because different foods have different effects on blood sugar levels. Foods that are high in carbohydrates, especially refined carbohydrates like white bread and sugary drinks, tend to cause a rapid increase in blood sugar levels. On the other hand, foods that are high in protein and healthy fats have a slower and more gradual impact on blood sugar. Therefore, it is important for individuals with conditions like diabetes to be mindful of their food choices and their effects on blood sugar.

Rate this question:
7.

The average meal should provide approximately ________ hours of energy.
- A. 2
- B. 4
- C. 6
- D. 8
Correct Answer

A. B. 4

Explanation

The average meal should provide approximately 4 hours of energy. This is because the body typically takes around 4 hours to fully digest and absorb the nutrients from a meal. During this time, the body converts the carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into energy that can be used for various bodily functions. Therefore, a meal that provides 4 hours of energy is considered to be a balanced and sufficient source of nutrition.

Rate this question:
8.

It is possible to eat more and weigh less.
- A. True
- B. False
Correct Answer

A. A. True

Explanation

It is possible to eat more and weigh less if the individual consumes a diet that is high in nutrient-dense foods and low in calorie-dense foods. Nutrient-dense foods provide essential nutrients while being low in calories, allowing a person to eat more volume of food without consuming excessive calories. Additionally, regular exercise and physical activity can help increase calorie expenditure, leading to weight loss despite eating more.

Rate this question:

What are the 4 S's of lunch?
- A. Soup, salt, sandwich, smoothie
- B. Soup, sandwich, sugar, smoothie
- C. Soup, salad, sandwich, smoothie
- D. Soup, salad, sandwich, soy
Correct Answer

A. C. Soup, salad, sandwich, smoothie

Explanation

The 4 S's of lunch are soup, salad, sandwich, and smoothie. These options provide a balanced and nutritious meal. Soup can be a warm and comforting starter, salad adds freshness and vegetables to the meal, a sandwich provides a filling main course, and a smoothie can be a refreshing and healthy beverage option. This combination ensures a variety of flavors and textures while also incorporating essential nutrients from different food groups.

Rate this question:
10.

Starting with ______ at dinner can help you lose weight.
- A. Soup
- B. Bread
- C. Salad
Correct Answer

A. C. Salad

Explanation

Starting with salad at dinner can help you lose weight because it is typically low in calories and high in fiber. Eating a salad before your main course can help you feel fuller and consume fewer calories overall. Additionally, salads are often packed with nutritious vegetables and can provide essential vitamins and minerals.
