Question

at 16, juana is at an appropriate weight and likes to eat whatever she wants to.
what’s the best strategy to ensure juana’s health?
a. start paying attention to her diet so she won’t gain weight later and walk once a day
b. get in the habit of eating food high in nutrients and engage in regular physical activity
c. reduce her calorie intake to 1,800 per day and take up an aerobic sport like soccer

Explanation:

To determine the best strategy for Juana's health, we analyze each option:

• Option A focuses on preventing future weight gain rather than overall health and uses limited physical activity (walking once a day).
• Option B emphasizes forming healthy habits: eating nutrient - dense food (which supports overall health, growth, and development, especially important for a 16 - year - old) and regular physical activity (which helps maintain fitness, strength, and cardiovascular health).
• Option C suggests reducing calorie intake to a specific number (1,800 per day) and taking up an aerobic sport. However, a 16 - year - old's calorie needs vary based on many factors, and a blanket reduction may not be appropriate, and focusing only on an aerobic sport may not cover all aspects of physical fitness.

Answer:

B. get in the habit of eating food high in nutrients and engage in regular physical activity
