Answer to Question 1

As the child ages, the rate of growth slows, as demonstrated by only a 5-pound gain during the second year of life. Young children are often more interested in the environment than in eating, which accounts for the decreased appetites. From ages 1 to 3, their legs grow longer and they develop a larger muscle mass and lose the baby shape. They begin to walk and talk and to feed themselves.

Answer to Question 2

200 mg/dL. Low-cholesterol foods include bagels, avocados, dry roast peanuts, and English muffins. Dietary fiber, exercise, and weight loss are thought to lower serum cholesterol levels. Daily intake should not exceed 300 mg. The cholesterol binds to the fiber and is excreted via feces.
