7.3. which is not a benefit of water? (1 point) *
a. protects the heart
b. helps you lose weight
c. does not help your body absorb nutrients
d. regulates body temperature

Explanation:

• For question 5.1: Healthy eating provides essential nutrients. For children, these nutrients are crucial for growth and development. Options a (increases obesity), d (makes you feel bad) and c (increases blood pressure) are negative effects, not benefits.
• For question 6.2: Fast - food is often high in calories, fat, and sugar. Consuming it regularly (one or more times a week) can lead to weight gain. Over time, weight gain can progress to being overweight and then obese.
• For question 7.3: Water is essential for the body. It helps in nutrient absorption (not the opposite as in option c). It protects the heart (by maintaining blood volume and circulation), can aid in weight loss (by increasing satiety and boosting metabolism), and regulates body temperature (through sweating and evaporation).

Answer:

5.1: B. Promotes optimal growth and development of children
6.2: D. All of the above
7.3: C. Does not help your body absorb nutrients
