If you've just completed a long hike, marathon, bicycle ride or other extended form of high-intensity exercise, you could experience temporary dips in your blood glucose levels. Glucose level lower than 70 mg/dl is called hypoglycemia and can result in extreme hunger, depression, headaches, an uncontrollable craving for sweets, or heart palpitations. The good news is that these symptoms are easily rectified by eating something sweet. Eating 4 - 6g of a highly concentrated glucose product like hard candy or fruit juice should get you back on your feet within 20 to 30 minutes. Using this recommendation, what is the minimum number of calories needed to bounce back after the workout?


A

1-15 calories


B

100-200 calories


C

16-24 calories


D

36-54 calories


Sagot :

Answer:

(c) 16-24 calories

Explanation:

In the  question it is provided that 4 - 6g of  highly concentrated glucose product helps to get on the feet within 20 to 30 minutes.

Also we know that 1 gram of glucose contains 4 calories.

Therefore,

4g of glucose = 4 × 4 calorie

                       = 16 calories

6g of glucose = 6 × 4 calorie

                       = 24 calories

Thus, we can say that the minimum number of calories needed to bounce back after the workout is 16 - 24 calories

Hence, the correct answer is option (c) 16-24 calories
