Answer:

The patient will have increased blood flow and decreased blood viscosity.

Explanation:

Thinning blood makes it, for lack of better term, thinner. This means it must have a lower viscosity. (For examples of viscosity, think of pouring out a glass of water versus a glass of maple syrup. The syrup has a much higher viscosity, and will take longer.)

As demonstrated in the above example, liquids with lower viscosity flow faster. This means the patient's blood flow will increase, as it will be easier for the blood to move through capillaries and the heart won't have to push as hard to move the blood through the body.

These results correspond with answer B or D, which, at the time of this answer, are identical. Whichever answer states increased blood flow and decreased viscosity is correct.

Answer:

Reduced risk of neural tube defects- diet adequate in synthetic form of folate
Reduced risk of hypertension and stroke- diet low in sodium and high in potassium
Reduced risk of cardiovascular disease- fatty acids from oils present in fish
Reduced risk of some types of cancer- diet rich in fiber

Explanation:

As you may already know, the adequate intake of certain nutrients is very beneficial to our body and to improve and maintain our health. That's because these nutrients act in the construction of essential molecules to keep our body functioning in a healthy and adequate way. Among the numerous nutrients necessary for our health, we can mention that the adequate intake of folate has the ability to reduce the creation of possible defects in the neural tube, while a diet rich in potassium can reduce the risks of hypertension, especially if accompanied by a low sodium diet. Following this same reasoning, a diet rich in fiber can reduce the risk of cancer, in addition to promoting good bowel function. Last but not least, a diet rich in fatty acids from fish can reduce cardiovascular disease.
