Read the information and courses of action based on it. Choose the option(s) that indicate(s) appropriate course(s) of action. Information: Inactivity produces a complex cascade of metabolic changes. Unused muscles atrophy, and shift from endurance type muscle fibers, which can burn fat, to fast-twitch fibers that rely more strongly on glucose. Inactive muscles lose mitochondria, the power packs of the cell, which burn fat. With muscles relying more on carbohydrates for what little work they are doing, unburned lipids accumulate and blood becomes very fatty. Courses of action: a. People should stop eating food that contains large amounts of carbohydrates. b. People should avoid food that contains fats to reduce accumulation of fats in blood. c. People should keep on doing activities that involve all muscles of the body to remain healthy.
