    True or False: Our body needs very little carbohydrate to stay healthy and happy. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Our body actually needs a significant amount of carbohydrates to stay healthy and happy. Carbohydrates are the body's main source of energy and provide fuel for the brain, muscles, and other organs. They are also important for proper digestion and the functioning of the immune system. Without enough carbohydrates, the body may experience fatigue, weakness, and difficulty concentrating. Therefore, it is important to include an adequate amount of carbohydrates in our diet to maintain overall health and well-being.

    True or False: Diets low in fiber increase the risk of heart disease and can elevate cholesterol.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A diet low in fiber can increase the risk of heart disease and elevate cholesterol levels. Fiber helps to lower cholesterol by binding to it and removing it from the body. Additionally, fiber-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help to reduce the risk of heart disease by promoting healthy weight management and reducing inflammation. Therefore, it is important to include an adequate amount of fiber in the diet to maintain heart health and keep cholesterol levels in check.

    • Third

    • Half

    • All

    Correct Answer
    A. Half
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Half." This means that approximately 50% of the food we eat should be carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are an essential nutrient that provide our bodies with energy. They can be found in foods such as grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes. Consuming a balanced diet that includes an adequate amount of carbohydrates is important for maintaining overall health and well-being.

    True or False: Complex, starchy carbohydrates are the best choice to keep a healthy, happy body.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Complex, starchy carbohydrates are not necessarily the best choice to keep a healthy, happy body. While they can provide energy and nutrients, an excessive intake of starchy carbohydrates, such as refined grains and processed foods, can lead to weight gain, blood sugar imbalances, and other health issues. It is important to have a balanced diet that includes a variety of nutrient-dense foods, including whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats, to support overall health and well-being.

    Which pair does NOT belong?simple carbohydrate:oatmealsimple carbohydrate:bananacomplex carbohydrate:pastacomplex carbohydrate:corn

    • Simple carbohydrate:oatmeal

    • Simple carbohydrate:banana

    • Complex carbohydrate:pasta

    • Complex carbohydrate:corn

    Correct Answer
    A. Simple carbohydrate:oatmeal
    Explanation
    Oatmeal is a complex carbohydrate, not a simple carbohydrate. Simple carbohydrates are made up of one or two sugar molecules, while complex carbohydrates are made up of multiple sugar molecules. Oatmeal contains a type of complex carbohydrate called beta-glucan, which is a soluble fiber that helps to regulate blood sugar levels and lower cholesterol. Therefore, the pair "simple carbohydrate:oatmeal" does not belong.

    • 1/4 of a bagel

    Correct Answer
    A. 1 cup of pasta

    One ounce is equal to 1/4 of a cup, so 1 cup of pasta does not equal one ounce.

    Explanation
    Simple carbohydrates are called simple sugars because they are made up of one or two sugar molecules. They are easy to digest and provide quick energy to the body. On the other hand, complex carbohydrates are called starches because they are made up of long chains of sugar molecules. They take longer to digest and provide sustained energy to the body.

    Rate this question:

    The average person should eat roughly _____ ounce(s) of carbohydrate every day.

    Correct Answer
    6 8 6-8
    Explanation
    The average person should eat roughly 6 ounces of carbohydrate every day. This is because carbohydrates are an essential source of energy for the body. Consuming an adequate amount of carbohydrates helps to fuel the brain, muscles, and other organs. However, it is important to note that the specific carbohydrate needs may vary depending on factors such as age, sex, activity level, and overall health. It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized dietary advice.
