Question

which of the following can help control hypertension? (select all that apply)
a limit water intake to not exceed the ai.
b limit sodium intake to not exceed the rda.
c maintain a healthy weight.
d consume sports drinks.

Explanation:

Excess sodium intake can increase blood pressure, so limiting sodium to the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) helps. Maintaining a healthy weight reduces strain on the heart and blood vessels, aiding in blood - pressure control. Limiting water intake to not exceed the Adequate Intake (AI) has no direct link to hypertension control. Sports drinks often contain sodium and other electrolytes and may not help control hypertension.

Answer:

B. Limit sodium intake to not exceed the RDA.
C. Maintain a healthy weight.
