Answer to Question 1

Age, gender, and the amount of fat and muscle tissue affect the body's fluid content.

Answer to Question 2

Answers will vary but may include nutrient-dense choices such as the following:
Grain group: 6 servings (half from whole grains) per day-whole-grain cereal (perhaps with skim milk and fruit), brown rice, and whole-grain breads
Vegetable group: 2 1/2 cups per day of fresh, frozen, or canned vegetables; dried peas; and beans
Fruits: 2 cups of dried fruits or whole fruit
Dairy: 3 cups of low-fat or nonfat milk, ice cream, cheese, or yogurt
Meat and beans: 5 1/2 ounces of dried beans or peas, eggs, fish, lean meat, nuts, skinless poultry, or seeds.
You should also include 2 tablespoons of vegetable oils to your diet over the course of the day.
