Question

select the correct answer.
which statement is true about exercise and health?

a. as long as you eat right and exercise, you will not develop serious diseases.

b. if your parents have good health, you will inherit that good health from them.

c. exercise and a healthy diet play an important role in decreasing your chances of developing a disease.

d. you will always have good health if you maintain a good set of habits throughout your lifetime.

Explanation:

• Option A: Even with proper diet and exercise, there are other factors (like genetics, environmental toxins) that can lead to serious diseases, so this is false.
• Option B: Health is not solely inherited; lifestyle, environment, etc., also play major roles. Having healthy parents doesn't guarantee inheriting good health, so this is false.
• Option C: Exercise and a healthy diet are known to improve overall health and reduce the risk of many diseases (like heart disease, diabetes), so this statement is true.
• Option D: Maintaining good habits is beneficial, but it doesn't ensure "always" having good health as unexpected factors (accidents, genetic disorders, etc.) can affect health, so this is false.

Answer:

C. Exercise and a healthy diet play an important role in decreasing your chances of developing a disease.
