Answer 1

Answer: Blood cholesterol concentrations are known to vary significantly day to day.

( The serum level changes more frequently and the blood cholesterol concentration may increase or decrease within a week.)

Answer:Including 3 servings of skim milk and 10 servings of fruits and vegetables a day plus restricting sodium to 2 g/day.

( This will restrict the sodium intake hence lowers the high blood pressure. The sodium intake increases the blood pressure.)

Answer: Fat release.

( Insulin lowers the blood glucose levels and maintain the level at normal range.)
