Answer:

The inclusion of plant sterols in the food is an effective strategy for lowering total and LDL cholesterol.

Explanation:

  Plant sterols, or phytosterols, are structurally similar to cholesterol, but unlike cholesterol, they are only naturally present in products of plant origin such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, oilseeds, seeds, vegetable oils and whole grains. Since their content in these foods is low, the industry now chooses to fortify foods in significant amounts of plant sterols and in a wider range of products such as vegetable creams, milks, yoghurts, cheeses, soy drinks and sauces. Plant sterols, as their regular consumption, is associated with lowering total cholesterol and LDL (so-called "bad cholesterol"). Given the high prevalence of individuals with high LDL and total cholesterol in society today, and due this is a risk factor for cardiovascular health, plant sterols are a very important to health. Also, plant sterols have been linked to other benefits to the body, such as protection against certain cancers and decreased inflammatory status.

Jennifer is enrolling into a Medicare Advantage (MA) plan and wants to know what counts toward the Out-of-Pocket Maximum. Which
Delvig [45]

The Out-of-Pocket maximum is the limit or cap amount that has to be paid by the insured on an health plan such that the health plans then pays the entire covered health care costs (100%) once the out-of-pocket maximum limit is met by the person insured

The kinds of health care expenditure that count or a applied towards the Out-of Pocket Maximum are:

<u>Deductible</u>: The deductibles are costs that the insured has to pay from his or her pocket before the plan the individual has begins paying for the remainder of the cost. The deductibles are normally for non-preventive care

In some plans, costs such as for prescription drugs have a separate deductible

<u>Coinsurance</u>: This is the cost the insured share with the health plan, once the deductibles cost has been covered by the insured. The coinsurance counts towards the Out-of-Pocket Maximum
