How does type of work affect diet?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Energy need may increase with heavy physical work
Physical work increases muscle activity and energy expenditure. A person doing heavy labour may therefore need more energy, fluids, and sometimes additional nutrients than someone with a sedentary routine. Diet should be adjusted according to activity level, while maintaining balance and avoiding unnecessary excess.
