question 8 (1 point)
all of the following are cultural practices that affect health and wellness except ___.

a food and taste preferences
b activity preferences
c genetic makeup
d religious or spiritual practices

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Food and taste preferences are cultural (e.g., dietary traditions in different cultures) and affect health (e.g., nutrition).
• Option b: Activity preferences (e.g., cultural norms around exercise, sports) are cultural and impact wellness.
• Option c: Genetic makeup is an inherited biological factor, not a cultural practice.
• Option d: Religious or spiritual practices (e.g., fasting in religions) are cultural and affect health/wellness.

So the one that is not a cultural practice affecting health/wellness is genetic makeup.

Answer:

c. genetic makeup
