Explanation
Correct Response: B. Software programs that analyze food intake and activity levels based on personal profiles are individualized and therefore can help students make the connection between food, physical fitness, and personal health. Nutrition fact sheets (A) provide only nutritional information without providing information about physical fitness. Appendixes and tables (C) that list the nutritive value of selected foods and the calories burned by various types of physical activities provide students with an understanding of the concepts without helping them understand the interrelationships of diet, physical fitness, and individual health. Medical journal articles that discuss the relationship between nutrition and risk factors for disease (D) leave out the physical fitness aspect of the interrelationship of diet, physical fitness, and individual health.
