Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Green leafy vegetables, whole grains, seeds, and nuts are good dietary sources of magnesium. Low levels of magnesium in the plasma can lead to neuromuscular hyper excitability resulting in cardiac arrhythmias and muscular contractions. Iron, zinc, and copper are trace minerals. Iron is available from animal sources such as red meat, poultry, and fish but not from in plant food. Zinc can be found in oysters, red meats, wheat germ, wheat bran, and cereals fortified with zinc. Organ meats, seafood, and nuts are good dietary sources of copper.
