Fruits and vegetables are great sources of natural sugars. Potatoes, pasta, and bread contain starches. Candy and other sweets contain refined sugar. Another important nutrient is protein, which is used as a building material in your body. Proteins come from meat, fish, eggs, beans, and dairy products. Lipids, which include fats and oils, are an important source of stored energy for the body. Fried foods, or foods containing a lot of butter, are high in lipids. Lipids are also often found combined with other nutrients. Many sources of protein, like red meat and dairy, also contain fats. Vitamins and minerals are also nutrients which help the body function properly. Fruits and vegetables not only contain important sugars for energy, but also vitamins and minerals essential to the body. An example of this would be fiber, which is important for regulating the digestive system. Sarah needs more protein in her diet. Which food sources will best provide the building blocks she needs? beans, poultry (chicken), and meat vegetables, seeds, and fats fruits, water, and dairy products oils, butters, and grains Which lunch choice is best for a healthy lifestyle? hamburger with cheese and ketchup turkey sandwich on whole grain bread fried fish sandwich with tartar sauce slice of pizza Which type of diet best contributes to a healthy lifestyle? a diet high in protein and fat a diet high in fruits, vegetables, and fats a diet high in sugar, dairy, and grains a diet high in fruits, vegetables, and lean protein Use the article below to answer the questions. Poor diet and lack of exercise can lead to a variety of health issues. Often, people consume too many starches and sugars. The body stores this excess material as fat. This causes a person to gain weight. Being exceedingly overweight leads to a condition called obesity.
