Protein is found in many foods, such as chicken, baked beans, and burgers. What is the biggest reason your body needs protein?
- A.
  
  To clear out wax from your ears
- B.
  
  To improve blood flow to the brain
- C.
  
  To build and maintain healthy body tissue
Correct Answer
C. To build and maintain healthy body tissue

Explanation
Protein is essential for building and maintaining healthy body tissue. It plays a crucial role in the growth, repair, and maintenance of muscles, organs, skin, and other body tissues. Protein is made up of amino acids, which are the building blocks of the body. When we consume protein-rich foods, our body breaks down the protein into amino acids and uses them to build and repair tissues. Without adequate protein intake, the body may struggle to repair damaged tissues and maintain overall health.

Correct Answer
A. Grab a cereal bar and a piece of fruit and eat them on the way to school.

Explanation
Eating a cereal bar and a piece of fruit on the way to school is the best option because it allows you to have a quick and convenient breakfast that provides some nutrients and energy. Skipping breakfast can lead to decreased concentration and energy levels, so it is important to have something to eat. Waiting until Interval to buy a snack or drinking a can of irn bru may not provide enough sustenance or the necessary nutrients to start the day off right.

  It strengthens the body’s ability to fight infection
- B.
  
  It improves eyesight
- C.

Correct Answer
B. It improves eyesight

Explanation
Vitamin A is essential for maintaining good eyesight. It plays a crucial role in the production of a pigment called rhodopsin, which is necessary for proper vision, especially in low light conditions. Without enough vitamin A, the eyes may struggle to adjust to darkness and individuals may experience difficulty seeing in dimly lit environments. Therefore, consuming foods rich in vitamin A, such as carrots and broccoli, can help improve eyesight and maintain overall eye health.

  Once per month for no more than 15 minutes
Correct Answer
B. 5 times per week for 1 hour each day

Explanation
Engaging in energetic exercise for 5 times a week, with each session lasting for 1 hour, is the recommended frequency for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. This level of activity ensures that the body receives regular cardiovascular and muscular stimulation, helps in managing weight, and improves overall fitness. It also allows for sufficient recovery time between sessions, reducing the risk of injury and promoting long-term adherence to exercise habits.
