Answer to Question 1

B, C, D
Feedback:
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010 have several key recommendations. Several of them include balancing calories to manage weight; reducing obesity through physical activity; and reducing consumption of sodium, empty calories, sugars, saturated fatty acids, and trans fat. Individuals should be aware of empty calories and make conscious decisions when eating them.

Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale: Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant. Athletes use central nervous system stimulants like caffeine to positively impact their athletic performance. Alcohol has been related to sports-related injuries. Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant and would decrease your heart rate and may induce sleep. Alcohol does make it difficult to rehydrate and recover from training because it prevents carbohydrate uptake and acts as a diuretic.
