Answer to Question 1

B
Diets high in potassium, fiber, and calcium and low in fat are best for someone who is managing hypertension. Nonfat yogurt with granola is a good source of calcium, fiber, and potassium; dried apricots add a second source of potassium. Although cereal and a banana provide fiber and potassium, skim milk should be substituted for whole milk to decrease fat. An omelet with sausage and cheese is high in fat. Butter is high in fat.
