Which term describes a dietary approach that can help prevent chronic diseases?

• A. Carbohydrates
• B. Creaming Method
• C. Nutrition Facts Label
• D. Healthy Diet

Answer: (D)

Focusing on a healthy diet as an eating pattern can reduce the risk of chronic diseases. A healthy diet means choosing a variety of nutrient-dense foods in appropriate portions—lots of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats—while limiting processed foods, added sugars, sodium, and saturated fats. This approach supports heart health, better blood sugar control, and lower risk for several cancers and other conditions, reflecting how overall dietary choices work together to influence long-term health.

The other terms don’t describe an eating pattern: carbohydrates are a nutrient category, the creaming method is a cooking technique, and a Nutrition Facts label is just information on a food package.
