Last  Week’s Quiz Answers:

1.) Consistent exercise can help promote better sleep?

The answer is true. Researchers at the National Sleep Foundation, as well as numerous academic institutions have shown that most active individuals see an improvement in getting to sleep, and in the quality of their sleep. These studies have concluded that the general exercise guideline of 150 minutes per week can have a positive impact on sleep and overall health.

2.) Fiber is found in meat products?

The answer is false. Fiber is found in whole-wheat products, fruits and vegetables, legumes, and nuts. It is recommended that we get at least 20 to 30 grams of fiber per day in our diets, however most Americans typically only get about 15 grams per day. To increase your fiber intake, snack on fruits and vegetables, choose whole fruit over fruit juice, replace white rice, bread, and pasta with brown rice and whole grain options.
