Answer to Question 1

D
In America, most dietary sodium comes from salt added to foods during processing. Processed foods often contain more sodium than when foods are prepared from scratch at home, plus in-takes of processed foods are high. Therefore salt added at the table and salt added to foods during cooking contribute less to overall salt intake. Most natural foods contain relatively little sodium.

Answer to Question 2

B
The most effective way for him to lower his high blood pressure would be to achieve and main-tain a healthy weight. Reducing sodium intake, participating in aerobic exercise every day, and abstaining from drinking alcoholic beverages would also help lower his blood pressure, but to a lesser extent.
