Answer:

The best answer to the question: Anemia can be caused by a diet lacking in which nutritional substances?, would be, D: Folic acid and vitamin B12.

Explanation:

Anemia, is usually defined as a problem in the formation of red blood cells, or, erythrocites. Usually, there are a number of nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, that play a vital role in the formation of these erythrocites. One such mineral is iron, which is why, when it is lacking in the diet, it can cause an anemia called iron-deficiency anemia. In this case, the anemia, which is either a reduced production of red-blood cells, or, cells that are incapable of carrying out their duty as oxygen-transporters, is caused by a dietary deficiency. Another form of this can be when the body itself, through an illness, is incapable of producing these cells. However, aside from iron, there are other two nutrients that are vital in the correct formation of erythrocites, and in their being efficent transporters: folic acid, also known as folate, and vitamin B12, both necessarily supplied by the diet, as the body cannot produce them.

d) High-rep bench press → shoulder IR/ER → abdominal crunch

Answer:

A. Push-up plus off a wall -> shoulder IR/ER -> seated DB press

A push-up plus off a wall is an example of a closed chain exercise as the arm is fixated to a stationary surface.

It also make your shoulder blades to move freely, making serratus anterior stronger, a vital muscle that keeps scapula stable and helps it rotate upward. This in turn reduces shoulder impingement when push-ups plus off a wall is done.

Shoulder IR/ER also helps to correct the imbalance in the rotator muscles of the shoulder.

Also, seated DB press strengthens all muscles of the shoulder in a functional way.

What happens to the water soluble vitamins that you consume that exceeded your body's requirement? To the fat soluble vitamins t
liberstina [14]

Answer:

The water-soluble vitamins comprises all the 8 B vitamins and vitamin C. When one consumes these vitamins, they get dissolved in water and then get mediated to various parts of the body via bloodstream. The body utilizes the vitamins it requires, and then the extra vitamin if got consumed is eliminated from the body via urine.  

As the water-soluble vitamins are excreted time to time, one requires to meet the needs for water-soluble vitamins each day. The fat-soluble vitamins are vitamins A, E, D and K. When one consumes fat-soluble vitamins, they get dissolved in fat prior to getting mediated via the bloodstream.  

The body utilizes the required fat-soluble vitamins and then accumulates any extra vitamins in the liver. However, if one consumes huge concentrations of fat-soluble vitamins spontaneously, then one may develop a condition known as vitamin toxicity or hypervitaminosis. The condition can be chronic or acute.
