Do You REALLY Know Enough About Health? Take This Quiz
December 22, 2008 by GiGi
Welcome back!
I got this eye opening health quiz in my email today from Jon Benson. You’ve probably heard of him or his products – 7 Minute Muscle and The Every Other Day Diet. I like to think I do a lot of health reading and trying to keep up, but this 5 question quiz had me surprised.
Take it and see how you do…
Answer True of False…
1. There are more starving people in the
world than there are overweight people in
the world.
2. A healthy diet consists of the proper
number of servings from the USDA’s
“Food Pyramid.”
3. It is possible to be obese yet still be
quite healthy.
4. The minimal amount of exercise required
to achieve any reasonable level of fitness
is five hours per week.
5. Feeling the sensation of hunger means
you should eat within 20 minutes.
And the answers? ALL FALSE! (According to Jon Benson) I qualified that because there are always debates about any health-related issue.
1. It’s rather depressing to know that there are twice as many overweight people as starving people. Not because I want more starving people – I’d like to think that’s a problem being conquered. Unfortunately, that’s not the case here.
2. Although there have been improvements in the food pyramid, they still overemphasize the amount of starch required in a diet.
3. Do we really need to address that ridiculous statement? I guess there were some articles out this year about how some obese people still had good “numbers” – cholesterol count, blood pressure, etc. As if those were the only way to determine if you are healthy or not.
4. I’ve been debating this issue for a while, but Jon answers the myth about long workout sessions best in his 7 Minute Muscle.
5. This one was news to me – apparently about half the time you are feeling a little hungry, you’re actually thirsty! If you try drinking a glass of water during those times, you’ll train your body to tell you when you are REALLY hungry — and then it’s time to eat.
Here’s to a healthier New Year!
