Answer to #1

As an example, a student may suggest a Subway sandwich (with 6 grams of fat or less) with extra lettuce and tomatoes and no mayonnaise. A cup of soup could be added as a side, and orange juice could be the selected beverage.

Answer to #2

Healthy People 2020  Physical Activity Objectives
1 . Reduce the proportion of adults who engage in no leisure-time physical activity.
2 . Increase the proportion of adults who meet the objectives for aerobic physical activity and for muscle-strengthening activity.
3 . Increase the proportion of the Nation' public and private schools that require daily physical education for all students.

Answer to #3

Overnutrition, calorie or nutrient overconsumption severe enough to cause disease or increased risk of disease, is a form of malnutrition.

Answer to #4

Four general factors that work together to determine a person's likelihood of suffering from a degenerative disease are environmental, behavioral, social, and genetic factors.

Answer to #5

Things you can do to help save money and time while providing healthful meals for you and your family include:

1 . Buy local foods and fresh foods in season. Use the local newspaper to find the best seasonal buys and special sale items.
2 . Shop from a list to help avoid buying unnecessary items. Keep a running list in your kitchen, and note items that you need to replace.
3 . Read the ingredients list and Nutrition Facts label on packaged foods; compare amounts of fat, sodium, calories, and nutrients in similar products. Ingredients are listed in order of quantity.
4 . Use sell by and best if used by dates to ensure quality and freshness. Buy only the amount you or your family will eat before the food spoils.
5 . Shop the perimeter of the grocery store to find many fresh whole foods: fresh produce; low-fat dairy products; lean meats, poultry, and fish; and whole-grain breads. Maneuver down the aisles only for specific items on your list, such as canned tomato products, spices, and canned or dry beans.

Answer to #6

Possible strategies for keeping the saturated fat and calories in check when considering options for meals on-the-go include:

Strategy 1: Don't supersize.
Strategy 2: Think grilled, not fried.
Strategy 3: Hold the mayo.
Strategy 4: Avoid all-you-can-eat restaurants.
Strategy 5: Just say no.
Strategy 6: Balance fast-food meals with other food choices during the day.
Strategy 7: Split your ordershare with a friend.
Strategy 8: Bring your lunch.
Strategy 9: Choose grab-and-go foods.
Strategy 10: If all else fails, go for the obvious low-calorie choices.

Answer to #7

A number of environmental, behavioral, social, and genetic factors work together to determine a person's likelihood of suffering from a degenerative disease. For example, diet notwithstanding, someone who smokes, doesn't exercise regularly, and has a parent who suffered a heart attack is more likely to end up with heart disease than a nonsmoker who works out regularly and does not have a close relative with heart disease. The way to alter disease risk is to concentrate on changing the daily habits that can be controlled. The results can be significant.
