Minerals and vitamins for health, growth and the immune system
Vitamin D for calcium and calcium for bone strength and water for hydration and fibre for digestion

Question 3

Timing of dietary intake

Answer 3

Leave two hours before for an average sized meal because eating needs blood flow to the digestive system but exercise needs blood flow to muscles and both cannot be increased at the same time
Also avoids discomfort and nausea

Question 4

Blood shunting

Answer 4

Blood flow is increased to working muscles for more oxygen but diverted away from inactive areas like the stomach (like for digestion so eating before exercise)

Question 5

Vasoconstriction

Answer 5

Blood vessels are squeezed smaller to constrict blood flow to inactive areas

Question 6

Vasodilation

Answer 6

Blood vessels dilate bigger to supply the active areas increasing blood flow so they receive more oxygen and nutrients
