Determining and Controlling Body Composition

Question 2 • PMHS Health Q2

Sandra wants to improve her body composition. Four of her friends have given her advice. Analyze the sentences to determine which friend gave her the BEST piece of advice?

Answer

Sanchez told her to take diet pills and to eat less than 1,000 calories a day.

John says to eat several, balanced, low-calorie meals throughout the day and to exercise regularly.

Laurie says to eat only fruits and vegetables and to exercise regularly.

Shelia told her to eat whatever she wants as long as she exercises five days a week for 60 minutes.

Explanation

The best advice is to eat balanced, lower-calorie meals and exercise regularly, which supports gradual, healthy changes in body composition. John’s advice also avoids extreme restrictions such as eating fewer than 1,000 calories or cutting out entire food groups. Exercise is beneficial, but it does not make an otherwise unbalanced eating pattern a good plan.
