    Fiber is importnat in the diet because: 

    • It helps prevent fluid retention

    • It helps prevent constipation

    • It helps prevent urinary retention

    • It helps prevent fat utilization

    Correct Answer
    A. It helps prevent constipation
    Explanation
    Fiber is important in the diet because it helps prevent constipation. This is because fiber adds bulk to the stool, making it easier to pass through the digestive system. It also helps to soften the stool, making it less likely to become dry and hard, which can lead to constipation. Additionally, fiber helps to promote regular bowel movements by stimulating the muscles in the intestines.

    Cigarette smoking affects food nutrition by"

    • Stimulating the appetite

    • Interfering with nutrient absorption

    • Causing over hydration

    • Dilating the arterioles

    Correct Answer
    A. Interfering with nutrient absorption
    Explanation
    Cigarette smoking can interfere with nutrient absorption in the body. This is because smoking damages the lining of the digestive system, particularly the small intestine, where most nutrient absorption occurs. The toxins in cigarettes can impair the function of the small intestine, making it less efficient in absorbing essential nutrients from food. As a result, smokers may experience deficiencies in vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, which can negatively impact their overall nutrition and health.

    Requirements for a healthy diet are not related to:

    • Gender

    • Weight

    • Enriched flour

    • Activity

    Correct Answer
    A. Enriched flour
    Explanation
    Enriched flour is not related to the requirements for a healthy diet because it refers to flour that has been processed to remove the bran and germ, resulting in a loss of nutrients. The requirements for a healthy diet typically focus on consuming a variety of nutrient-dense foods that provide essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. Enriched flour, on the other hand, is a refined and less nutritious form of flour. Gender, weight, and activity level, on the other hand, are factors that can affect the specific dietary needs of an individual.

    Nutrients can be preserved when preparing fruits and vegetables by:

    • Boiling

    • Soaking over night

    • Steaming

    • Trim off one half inch

    Correct Answer
    A. Steaming
    Explanation
    Steaming is the correct answer because it is a cooking method that uses hot steam to cook the fruits and vegetables. Unlike boiling, which involves submerging the produce in water, steaming helps to retain the nutrients by cooking the food with indirect heat. Steaming also helps to preserve the natural colors, flavors, and textures of the fruits and vegetables, making it a healthier and more nutritious cooking option.

    Explanation
    Chicken is the correct answer because it is a lean source of protein and does not contain any dietary fiber. While apples and celery are high in fiber, and puffed wheat may also contain some fiber depending on the brand, chicken does not have any fiber content. Fiber is mainly found in plant-based foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, while animal-based foods like chicken typically do not contain fiber.

    • Sensory problems are identified

    Correct Answer
    A. Food habits are identified
    Explanation
    An analysis of a person's present diet is important for diet planning and food choices because it helps in identifying their food habits. By understanding their current eating patterns and preferences, dieticians or nutritionists can tailor a diet plan that aligns with their food habits, making it easier for the person to adhere to the plan and achieve their health goals. This information also allows for targeted interventions to address any unhealthy eating habits and promote better nutrition.

    "Enriched" on a food label means 

    • A food product is made with enriched flour

    • A food product that does not have to claim its status

    • A food product is made with unenriched flour and supplements

    • A food product that does not have to list flour nutrients

    Correct Answer
    A. A food product is made with enriched flour
    Explanation
    The term "enriched" on a food label means that the food product is made with enriched flour. Enriched flour refers to flour that has had certain nutrients, such as iron and B vitamins, added back into it after the refining process. This is done to replace the nutrients that are lost during the refining process. Therefore, when a food product is labeled as "enriched," it indicates that the flour used in the product has been fortified with these additional nutrients.

    The correct answer is 1600-2200. This range represents the average number of calories needed for an adult woman. It is important to note that individual calorie needs may vary based on factors such as age, weight, height, and activity level. However, this range provides a general guideline for maintaining a healthy diet and energy balance. Consuming fewer calories than the lower end of the range may result in inadequate nutrition, while consuming more than the upper end may lead to weight gain.

    Broccoli is a food that will help increase mineral consumption because it is a rich source of various minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium. These minerals are essential for maintaining healthy bones, supporting muscle function, and regulating blood pressure. Additionally, broccoli contains high levels of vitamin C, which aids in the absorption of minerals. Therefore, regularly consuming broccoli can contribute to meeting the body's mineral requirements.
