Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

High blood lipids, specifically high levels of LDL cholesterol, are often caused by a diet high in saturated and trans fats. Therefore, reducing consumption of these types of fats is a crucial dietary choice for children with high blood lipids. Consuming a diet with 20-30% energy from fat (choice B) is a general recommendation for a healthy diet, but reducing saturated and trans fat consumption is more specific to addressing high blood lipids. Reducing portion sizes (choice A) and reducing sodium consumption (choice C) may be beneficial for overall health, but they are not specifically targeted towards addressing high blood lipids.
