vampirchik [111]
I can think of some reasons

1) Foods with too many fats, sugar, salt, and high caloric foods, generally taste better than other foods like veggies or other healthy options. We naturally have a sweet tooth as a survival instinct, so we naturally crave those types of foods and satisfies our Reward System in our brains 

2) Think of fast food vs. Grocery shopping. Which is cheaper? Fast food is simply cheaper, faster, and more convenient than cooking something healthy at home or eating with family. Americans are so busy and many low-income families simply cannot afford to eat healthily.

those are some reasons I hope this helps :)

Match the phrase with the correct activity type.
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

<em>starts increasing the blood flow to the muscles: WARM UP</em>

<em>helps get muscles out of a relaxed state: WARM UP</em>

<em>helps prevent muscle soreness the day after exercise: COOL DOWN </em>

<em>helps the joints of the body handle the strain of exercise: WARM UP</em>

<em>keeps the blood moving through the body: COOL DOWN </em>

<em>helps keep the heart from getting shocked by activity: WARM UP</em>

COOLING DOWN -- it's important to cool down after a work out as it's a great way of recovery of the exercises and it can get back our heart rate and blood pressure to balance. It doesn't reduce muscle soreness but it regulates our blood flow.

WARMING UP -- helps our bodies to get prepared for the upcoming activity. It gradually becomes more active in order to rise our body's temperature so it can increase the blood flow into our muscles. It is also crucial in reducing risks of injury or muscle soreness.
