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. While trans fats are known to be unhealthy and can increase the risk of heart disease, foods labeled "trans fat free" may still contain other unhealthy ingredients such as saturated fats or high levels of sodium. It is important to read the nutrition label and ingredients list to determine the overall healthiness of the food.

  • 2. 

    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    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.

    One sure-fire way to lessen the risk of heart disease is to add physical activity to your daily regimen.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Adding physical activity to your daily routine is indeed a sure-fire way to reduce the risk of heart disease. Regular exercise helps to improve cardiovascular health, strengthen the heart muscle, lower blood pressure, and reduce cholesterol levels. It also helps in weight management, which is crucial for maintaining a healthy heart. By engaging in physical activity, individuals can enhance their overall well-being and significantly decrease the chances of developing heart disease.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    As little as 30 minutes of exercise every day can reduce the risk of heart disease.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Regular exercise has been shown to have numerous benefits for cardiovascular health. Engaging in physical activity for as little as 30 minutes every day can help lower the risk of heart disease. Exercise helps to improve heart health by strengthening the heart muscle, improving blood flow, reducing blood pressure, and increasing good cholesterol levels. Additionally, regular exercise helps to maintain a healthy weight, which is also important for heart health. Therefore, it is true that as little as 30 minutes of exercise every day can reduce the risk of heart disease.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Barriers to exercise are typically a lack of time and a lack of fun.

    • 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.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    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.
