Answer 1

1. A. Dramatically improve performance.

A nutritionally adequate diet and plenty of fluids are important for maximizing one's physical performance. There are many ingredients in dietary supplements that promotes to improve exercise and athletic performance. These products are sometimes called “ergogenic aids,” but this fact sheet simply refers to them as “performance supplements.” Performance supplements can contain many ingredients—like vitamins and minerals, protein, amino acids, and herbs—in different amounts and in many combinations. These products are sold in various forms, such as capsules, tablets, liquids, and powders.

2. D. All of these

Many employers offer wellness or health promotion programs to help employees improve their health and avoid unhealthy behaviors. Both small and large firms offer a program in at least one of these areas: smoking cessation; weight management; behavioral or lifestyle coaching. work-site programmes will tend to be multiphasic, addressing many 'risk-factors'; this will probably increase their impact upon health. Absenteeism is reduced by greater worker satisfaction and an improved perceived health.

3. D. High in carbohydrate and high in protein.

Carbohydrates are one of the three energy-yielding nutrients because they provide your body with calories, which can be converted to energy. You also get calories from proteins and fats, making them the other two energy-yielding nutrients, but when you are physically active, carbs will be your best energy source. This is because carbohydrates are digested into glucose, which is a simple sugar that is easily converted to energy. Therefore, when you think of energy for physical activity, think of carbohydrates first.

Proteins also provide your body with calories, but your body would prefer to save proteins for other jobs. Therefore, proteins are not a major source of energy during physical activity, but they are important for the repair of muscles after physical activity.

4. c. The frequency and regularity of the activity.

5. D. All of these.
