E mass number of any given atom depends solely on the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. The mass number of any atom can be determined by adding the number of protons and neutrons. (Mathematically this is stated as Mass Number = Protons + Neutrons). For instance, a Carbon atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons will have a mass number of 12AMU. However, a Carbon atom with 6 protons and 8 Neutrons will have a mass number of 14AMU. They are both Carbon atoms, however they each have a different mass number. Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, and therefore, different mass numbers, are called isotopes. Isotopic symbols are used to indicate isotopes of the same elements. In the following isotopic symbols the lower number is the atomic number…it is the number of protons. The upper number is the mass number, it represents to sum of the protons and neutrons in the atoms nucleus.
Explanation:
There are many ways to achieve a healthier lifestyle and increase fitness. Healthy eating and constant exercise are essential for maintaining good physical and mental health. Through effective nutrition the human body is able to function better, there is an increase in disposition, improvement in immunity, improvement in blood rates, etc. Physical exercise, on the other hand, assists in strengthening muscles, controlling blood pressure, preventing cardiovascular disease, greater satisfaction, less stress, etc.
Some simple examples that can assist in improving health and fitness are:
- Reduction of processed foods, sugars and soft drinks.
- Increased fiber intake
- Daily walks of at least 30 minutes
- Increased water consumption
- Increased consumption of fruits and vegetables

It has to due with numbers so I would say the last one!
