Answer 1

Ans 84. Gluten is a mix of proteins found in wheat, rye, and barley.

Gluten is not a single protein, but it is a complex mixture of related proteins, and this constitutes a bulk of protein stores in many grains.

These proteins belong to 2 main classes: 1) Prolamins 2) Glutelins

And Prolamins in wheat are called gliadins. Protein similar to gliadins exists in the rye, barley, oat, and their derivatives.

Other options soy, corn, seeds, nut, sugar, beans, and dairy do not come under gluten and thus option C is the answer.

Ans 85. Carb cycling is a dietary approach focusing on alternate carb intake on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis tieing closely to the training days. On the resting days, carb intake is low, and on the days of training(physical training, gyming) carb intake increased to either moderate or heavy intake.

It increases weight loss as, on a typical weight-loss diet, the body typically goes into months eating a caloric deficit diet every single day, and long deficits will ultimately lead to a drop in metabolic functions to the point where initial calorie deficit is now the maintenance and weight loss comes to a halt. Anabolic hormones will drop and catabolic hormones will rise. Fewer calories are burned, muscle tissue is at risk of wasting away, and although fat loss initially rises it ultimately diminishes as metabolism drops.

But in carb cycling, the metabolic slowdown is fended off by re-setting the catabolic state of the body with the added carbs, and added calories, shifting things into an anabolic state. Extra carbs mean more glucose and insulin in the bloodstream, providing more energy to the workouts. So this process provides energy to the body as well as overcoming a weight loss plateau, and fast weight loss by intaking more carbs on the days of training and less on the days of non-training leading to keep building muscle and keeping burning fat.

2. It can't induce weight gain as the body is going on high-intensity training as well after intaking high carb.

3. Reduce A1C level -- A1C level is related to the development of diabetes, the higher the level the greater the risk for developing type 2 diabetes. But as mentioned above taking extra carbs means more glucose and insulin so reduced A1C level is not possible.

4. Reduce blood pressure -- As the body is undergoing training and resting as well it is not possible for blood pressure to reduce, thus normal body pressure will be maintained.

so, option 1 is the answer.

Ans 86. Functional foods are divided into four categories: modified foods, conventional foods, medical foods, and special dietary foods.

The ADA breaks down functional foods into 4 categories as mentioned above. So the answer is option 2.

Functional foods provide important nutrients take can help protect against disease.

Option 1. Clinical foods -- are the foods taken under the supervision of a physician. And functional foods are taken in order to keep the disease off.

Option 2. Special dietary foods are formulated to satisfy particular dietary requirements that exist because of a particular physical or physiological condition, this could be due to an allergy, intolerance, or other medical need. And it is important to classify it under functional foods as a function of functional foods is to have a potentially positive effect on health beyond nutrition, and those who have some allergies dietary requirement for them should also be considered.

Option 3. Unconventional foods -- These are unhealthy foods and opposite of conventional foods which are healthy for our body and included in functional foods.

Option 4. Non-genetically modified foods -- This is the opposite of genetically modified foods, which means they are good but according to ADA it is not broken down into functional foods as it is included in conventional food
