1 answer:

8 0

At first, all grains are whole grains. A whole grain is the plant's entire seed. It is composed of three parts, which are all edible. These parts are the bran, the germ, and the endosperm. These parts are shielded by a husk, which you actually cannot eat. This shield protects the whole grain from outside dangers, such as pests, too much or too little sunlight, and too much or too little water. Hope this helps.

Answer:

"Jimmy has an increased risk of high cholesterol and high blood pressure."
"Jimmy has an increased risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes."

Explanation:

To answer this question, we just need to know the following:

What's the average amount of body fat one should have?

According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and WebMD, men aged 20 to 39 should have 8%-19% body fat, and women of the same age group should have 21%-32% body fat. UCSDB ScienceLine states, "Before adolescence average body fat is 18% in both boys and girls. However, after age 13 boys drop 2-3% in body fat and girls gain 8-10% in body fat," (due to puberty). We know that Jimmy is a high school student, and high schoolers are typically 14-18. Thus, he should be nowhere near 33% of body fat to have the adequate amount, nor is he underweight.

With this information, we can rule out, "Jimmy is likely underweight and may be malnourished," and, "Jimmy has a healthy body composition and has adequate fat stores."

What increases the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure? Does body fat have to do with it?

According to The Obesity Action Coalition, "Being 'overweight' (BMI of 25-29.9), or affected by obesity (BMI of 30-39.9) or severe obesity (BMI of 40 or greater), greatly increases your risk of developing type 2 diabetes."

According to WebMD, "So being overweight or obese can raise your chances of high triglycerides and, in turn, high cholesterol..."

According to Cleveland Clinic, "How are obesity and heart disease related? Obesity affects more than 40% of the U.S. population. The excess fat in obesity was originally thought to be harmless (benign). However, we now know that excess fat causes chemical changes in your blood that increase your heart disease risk."

According to WebMD, "As your body weight increases, your blood pressure can rise. In fact, being overweight can make you more likely to develop high blood pressure than if you are at your desirable weight."

Note: "Body fat percentage distinguishes fat from muscle and calculates the percentage of body fat in the body. While BMI is a rough estimate of body fat, body fat percentage is a more accurate number. BMI, but not overfat" (Goshen Health).

To conclude, the most logical answers would be, "Jimmy has an increased risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes," and,"Jimmy has an increased risk of high cholesterol and high blood pressure."

Hope that helps! <3

What type of weights shpould you not use if your goal is to build muscle mass

Ymorist [56]

I believe that you shouldn't use low intensity (light weights) if you want to build muscle mass.
These types of weights won't help you much define the muscles you want to have, as opposed to free weights, weight machines, and high intensity (heavy weights) which definitely will. So if your goal is to build muscle mass, avoid light weights.

The average ages at which an individual displays certain abilities are known as __________.

kirill [66]

A is the correct answer. The developmental norms are stages at which humans typically develop the ability to successfully complete an activity without aid, for example, being able to walk. When people have reached the age of the norm and cannot complete the activity, there may be cause for concern.
