What are the contraindications for using MI Paste?
- A. Children under six
- B. Individuals with a milk casein allergy
- C. Pregnant women
- D. Both A and B
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: MI Paste is contraindicated in children under six and in individuals with a milk casein allergy. The reason is that MI Paste contains casein phosphopeptide, which is derived from milk. Therefore, it may cause allergic reactions in those who are sensitive to milk proteins. Pregnant women (Choice C) are not contraindicated for using MI Paste unless they have a known allergy to milk casein. Hence, the correct answer is 'D: Both A and B'.

Which risk factors increase the risk of atherosclerosis?
- A. Exercise
- B. Excessive sun exposure
- C. Insufficient vaccinations
- D. Smoking
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Smoking is a major risk factor for atherosclerosis. It significantly contributes to the buildup of plaque in the arteries and thereby increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. On the other hand, exercise is generally beneficial for cardiovascular health and is not a risk factor for atherosclerosis. Excessive sun exposure and insufficient vaccinations have no established links to atherosclerosis, making them incorrect options for this question.
Which of the following is a factor that affects Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)?
- A. Age
- B. Sleep
- C. Fasting/Starvation
- D. All of the above
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: All the listed options (Age, Sleep, Fasting/Starvation, Activity Level) are factors that can affect a person's Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). BMR is the number of calories your body needs to accomplish its most basic (basal) life-sustaining functions. Age can affect BMR as metabolism slows with age. Sleep can influence BMR as metabolism slows during sleep. Fasting or starvation can decrease BMR as the body conserves energy. Activity level can also influence BMR; the more active you are, the higher your BMR, as your body requires more energy for physical activities.
