If a patient's diet is mostly fried and low in fibre, what will be the main nutrition improvement?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Changing cooking method and increasing whole grains, fruits and vegetables
A diet dominated by fried foods may provide excess fat and energy while supplying too little fibre and protective nutrients. Replacing deep-frying with methods such as steaming, boiling, baking or shallow cooking can improve fat quality and reduce unnecessary oil. Increasing whole grains, fruits, vegetables and other fibre-rich foods supports bowel function and improves vitamin, mineral and phytochemical intake. Hence, option D is the appropriate improvement.
