Potassium-rich dietary patterns, such as the DASH diet, may lower blood pressure, reduce one's risk of developing kidney stones, and possibly decrease bone loss. For a 2100-kcal meal plan, the DASH diet is designed to provide at least 4700 milligrams of potassium per day. On the Spreadsheet Report, examine the column for potassium (Potas). On this day, Christian consumed approximately ______ of potassium.

5100 milligrams

The research behind the DASH diet suggests that an optimal macronutrient distribution is 27% of total calories from total fat, 18% of total calories from protein, and 55% of total calories from carbohydrate. Using the information about total Calories (Cals), total fat (Fat), protein (Prot), and carbohydrates (Carbs) on the Spreadsheet Report, calculate Christian's macronutrient distribution. Which statement about Christian's macronutrient intake on this day is correct?

All of the statements are correct.

Which of the following is not considered a key function of zinc?

Bone health

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of total calories. This is a general guideline for all Americans, starting at 2 years of age. For individuals at risk for heart disease, however, the American Heart Association suggests an even lower limit of 5% to 6% of total calories from saturated fat. On this day, Christian's saturated fat intake contributed about 7% of total calories. On the Spreadsheet Report, examine the column for saturated fat (Fat-S). If Christian wanted to comply with the more stringent recommendation of the American Heart Association, which of the following would be a heart-healthy strategy for Christian to decrease his saturated fat intake?

Choose fresh watermelon instead of ice cream after dinner.

The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy products, whole grains, fish, poultry, beans, seeds, and nuts. It is low in salt and sodium, added sugars and sweets, fat, and red meats. For a 2100-kcal meal plan, the DASH diet is designed to have 30 grams of fiber or more per day. On the Spreadsheet Report, examine the column for fiber (Fiber). How does Christian's dietary fiber intake on this day compare to the DASH diet recommendation?

Christian consumed approximately 40 grams of dietary fiber, which is 10 grams more fiber than the DASH recommendation.

Research shows that dietary patterns, including the DASH diet, providing less than 2300 milligrams of sodium per day promote lower blood pressure levels. Dietary patterns that limit sodium intake to 1500 milligrams per day are even more effective for lowering blood pressure, especially for middle-aged and older adults, African Americans, and those living with high blood pressure. Christian is at an increased risk for high blood pressure because he is over 40 years of age. On the Spreadsheet Report, find the column for sodium (Sod). How does Christian's dietary intake of sodium on this day compare to the 1500-milligram recommended limit?

Christian consumed less than 1500 milligrams of sodium

The greatest source of sodium in the typical American dietary pattern is not from the salt shaker. Rather, Americans consume more sodium from packaged, highly processed, and fast foods. Sodium is also found in less obvious places, like breads. On the Spreadsheet Report, examine the column for sodium (Sod). Of the following grain products, which was Christian's highest source of sodium?

English muffin

Which of the following foods is a natural source of vitamin D?

Fatty fish and fish oils

Which of the following vitamins is most important for red blood cell formation?

Folate

Liver

Felicity's LDL cholesterol level is too high. To lower her cholesterol level, she took large doses of a certain vitamin supplement, but she experienced severe facial flushing as a result. Based on this information, which vitamin did she take?

Niacin

Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a role in protein synthesis, normal muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, and healthy blood pressure. For a 2100-kcal dietary pattern, the DASH diet is designed to provide 500 milligrams of magnesium per day. On the Spreadsheet Report, examine the column for magnesium (Magn). Which one food provided the most magnesium per given serving in Christian's dietary pattern this day?

Spinach

The DASH diet is rich in fruits and vegetables. Because fruits and vegetables are naturally high in potassium and low in sodium, they work to help lower blood pressure. On the Spreadsheet Report, locate the column for potassium (Potas). Put the fruits and vegetables from Christian's 1-day dietary intake in order of potassium content, from highest to lowest per given serving.

Spinach, zucchini, peaches, tangerines
