Answer to Question 1

Okinawan elders have an average body mass index (BMI) that ranges from 18 to 22 . The Okinawans stay lean by eating a low-calorie diet, practicing calorie control in a cultural habit known as hara hachi Bu (only eating until they are 80 full), and keeping physically active every day.

Answer to Question 2

A political action committee is the political arm of an interest group. It has the legal authority to raise funds from its members or employees to support candidates or political parties. The purpose of a PAC is to help elect candidates whose views are favorably aligned with the group's mission or goals.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
