Question 4 • 5120VB Environmental Science Sem B- B
Alexis plays on her school basketball team. Practice used to be right after school, but has recently been changed to 6 PM. Alexis has been experiencing acid reflux during practice, ever since the time changed. Which of the following would be a logical alternative for Alexis to try, in an effort to eliminate the acid reflux problem?
Answer
A
eat a light snack right after school and do not eat a full dinner until after practice
B
do not eat dinner on practice days
C
avoid fruits and vegetables on practice days
D
do not attend practice and quit the team
Explanation
Eating a full dinner shortly before exercise can trigger acid reflux. Alexis could have a light snack after school and wait until after practice to eat dinner, giving her stomach more time to digest before playing. Skipping dinner or quitting the team is unnecessary, and avoiding fruits and vegetables does not address the timing of her meal.
