    Sleeping for only 1 to 2 hours a day is not a recommended way to relax and get away from it all. Adequate sleep is essential for relaxation and rejuvenation. Most adults require 7-9 hours of sleep per night to function optimally. Sleeping for only 1 to 2 hours a day can lead to sleep deprivation, which can negatively impact physical and mental health, cognitive function, and overall well-being. Therefore, it is important to prioritize sufficient sleep for relaxation and stress relief.

Regular exercise also helps in maintaining a healthy weight, toning muscles, and improving overall physical appearance.

    A. Exercise
    Explanation
    Exercise helps stimulate blood circulation in the body by increasing heart rate and promoting the flow of blood to the muscles. During exercise, the heart pumps more blood, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the muscles. This increased blood flow also helps remove waste products and toxins from the body. Additionally, exercise helps strengthen the walls of blood vessels, improving their elasticity and overall function. Therefore, engaging in physical activity is an effective way to enhance blood circulation throughout the body.

    Worry is an emotion that can be harmful to mental health. When we worry excessively, it can lead to increased stress levels, anxiety, and negative thinking patterns. This can have detrimental effects on our overall mental well-being, causing symptoms such as insomnia, difficulty concentrating, and even depression. It is important to manage and address worries in a healthy way to avoid long-term damage to mental health.

    Which of the following items is one of the three energy nutrients almost all foods contain?

    • Fats

    • Salt

    • Sugar

    • Calories

    Correct Answer
    A. Fats
    Explanation
    Fats are one of the three energy nutrients almost all foods contain. Fats are a concentrated source of energy and provide essential fatty acids, which are important for the body's normal growth and development. They also help in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and provide insulation and protection to organs. While salt and sugar are not considered energy nutrients, calories are a unit of measurement for energy. Therefore, fats are the correct answer as they are a key component of energy in food.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    The energy contained in food is measured in:

    • Degrees

    • Protein content

    • Calories

    • Fat content

    Correct Answer
    A. Calories
    Explanation
    The energy contained in food is measured in calories. Calories are a unit of measurement for energy. When we consume food, our body breaks it down and converts it into energy that we can use for various bodily functions. The calorie content of food tells us how much energy we can obtain from consuming it. This information is important for maintaining a balanced diet and managing our overall energy intake.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    The energy in food can be stored in the body as:

    • Fat

    • Protein

    • Carbohydrates

    • Vitamins

    Correct Answer
    A. Fat
    Explanation
    Fat is a macronutrient that provides a concentrated source of energy. When we consume more calories than our body needs, the excess energy is stored in the form of fat. This stored fat can be utilized by the body as a source of energy when needed. Therefore, fat is one of the ways in which the energy from food is stored in the body. Protein, carbohydrates, and vitamins also play important roles in the body, but they are not primarily responsible for energy storage.

    Which of the following statements is true about contouring?

    • Light colors broaden

    • Light colors narrow

    • Dark colors broaden

    • Ligh colors can narrow or broaden

    Correct Answer
    A. Light colors broaden
    Explanation
    Light colors in contouring create the illusion of volume and bring forward certain features, which can make the face appear broader. This is because light colors reflect light and make the area they are applied to appear more prominent. On the other hand, dark colors, which absorb light, create shadows and can make an area appear narrower. Therefore, the statement that light colors broaden is true in the context of contouring.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    An overly wide jaw can be visually narrowed by applying:

    • Lighter contour creme on the inner areas of the jaw

    • Darker contour creme on the outer areas of the jawline

    • Lighter contour creme on the outer areas of the jawline

    • Lighter contour creme around the lips

    Correct Answer
    A. Darker contour creme on the outer areas of the jawline
    Explanation
    Applying darker contour creme on the outer areas of the jawline can visually narrow an overly wide jaw. This is because contouring with a darker shade creates the illusion of shadows, making the jawline appear narrower. By strategically applying the darker contour creme on the outer areas of the jawline, it helps to create a more defined and slimmer jawline, balancing out the width of the jaw.

    All of the following movements cause carpal tunnel EXCEPT:

    • Bending your wrist a lot

    • Repeating a motion over and over

    • Gripping with force

    • Using sharp shears

    Correct Answer
    A. Using sharp shears

    Using sharp shears does not cause carpal tunnel because carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition that occurs when the median nerve, which runs through the wrist, becomes compressed or irritated. The other movements listed in the options, such as bending the wrist, repeating a motion, and gripping with force, can contribute to the development of carpal tunnel syndrome by putting strain on the wrist and causing inflammation or compression of the median nerve. However, using sharp shears does not involve repetitive or forceful movements that would directly impact the wrist and cause carpal tunnel syndrome.
