Answer to Question 1

1, 4, 5
Rationale: The U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services guidelines to promote health and prevent disease include, but are not limited to, the following: Increase physical activity and reduce time spent in sedentary behaviors. Consume less than 10 percent of calories from saturated fatty acids. Limit alcohol consumption to one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for men. Control total calorie intake to manage body weight. For people who are overweight or obese, this will mean consuming fewer calories from foods and beverages. There is no specific daily calorie limit recommended. Reduce daily sodium intake to less than 2,300 mg, not 3,000 mg, and further reduce intake to 1,500 mg among persons who are 51 and older and those of any age who are African American or have hypertension, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease.

Answer to Question 2
