Question 8 • Fall 24 Personal Fitness IC

Which lifestyle choice would put a person at a higher risk for developing heart disease?

Answer
A
training for a 5K race
B
consuming foods high in trans fats
C
selecting unsalted food options
D
keeping a food log on a daily basis

Explanation

Trans fats can raise LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and lower HDL (“good”) cholesterol, increasing the risk of plaque buildup in arteries and heart disease. Training for a 5K and choosing unsalted foods can support heart health, while keeping a food log does not itself increase heart disease risk. Therefore, consuming foods high in trans fats is the higher-risk choice.
