1. The right answer is A.)Carbohydrates

The carbohydrates in foods are turned into glucose during digestion. Glucose passes into the blood. It is then used directly as "fuel" by the body. But it can also be stored as glycogen in the liver or muscles.

The concentration of glucose in the blood is called glucose. Normal fasting glucose values range from 0.6 g / l to 1 g / l. After the meal, the blood sugar level increases for one to two hours, without exceeding 1.6 g / l and then returns to baseline within two hours.

2. The right answer is D.)Iron

Iron is good for the immune system: it helps the body better absorb nutrients in our food and helps to provide oxygen to damaged parts of the body (which are therefore more at risk of infection).

The body needs iron to produce hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells. Hemoglobin helps carry oxygen in the body.

3. The right answer is A.)helps the body process the nutrients we consume.

Water is an important component of organisms, Most of the body's entire water sits inside the cells. Another part occupies the intercellular space, serving as a reserve for cells and blood vessels. The rest is contained in the blood and lymph, and circulates continuously throughout the body.

In addition to being the essential constituent of cells, water fulfills several functions:

- it participates in the many chemical reactions of which the human body is the seat,

- it ensures the transit of a certain number of dissolved substances indispensable to the cells,

- it allows the elimination of metabolic waste,

- it helps maintain a constant temperature inside the body.

4. The right answer is A.) Whole wheat pasta with a Bolognese or vegetarian sauce served with bread.

There is a real interest in having high glycogen stocks, especially for these prolonged efforts because these glycogen stores determine the length of time that a high rate can be maintained. This is called the concept of capacity. Thus, the factors that positively guide the level of glycogen stores:

the initial state of the stocks in question knowing that a muscle fiber "empty glycogen" will pump more "sugar" is the phenomenon of "overcompensation";

the level of training: the more trained an athlete is, the better the ability to store (better insulin sensitivity);

diet: a dietary rich in carbohydrates promotes resynthesis in glycogen especially in the first hours after exercise (8 to 12g / kg / d). Benefit from the metabolic windows caused during the last workouts, often qualitative (less important in intensity), in order to optimize your reserves in glycogen.

5. The right answer is C.) vitamin D

* Dairy products are an excellent source. They include cheese, yogurts and milk. In addition, here are some equivalences for the same calcium content:

30g of cheese = 150ml of milk = 100g of cottage cheese.

* Fish are also a source.

For 150g of fish is a normal portion we have 150mg of calcium.

6. The right answer is B.) Tomatoes, strawberries, and peppers.

* The pepper is very rich in vitamin C. Just behind the parsley, it is ahead of the cabbages and spinach also very well provided. 100g of pepper brings on average 126mg and therefore, a small portion of 50g only covers 75% of daily recommended contributions.

* Raw tomato is a source of vitamin C, since 100 g of tomato provides the equivalent of 19.38% of the Nutritional Reference Values (NRV) in vitamin C (ie 15.50 mg per 100 g).

7. After extensive researches, the foods mentioned are as rich in iron as in magnesium, both answers are valid (both iron and magnesium deficiency exist).

* Hazelnut is a good source of magnesium for the woman and a source for the man, their needs being different.

* The hazelnut is a good source of iron for the man and a source for the woman, their needs being different. Each body cell contains iron.

likewise for red meats and various vegetables (some are rich in magnesium, and others are rich in iron).

which ever one is showing doing the same exercise in time intervals such as 30 seconds or a minute several times.

the answer is
