Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Weight gain is associated with an increased risk of heart disease as it can lead to high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, and an increased risk of developing diabetes. Moderate alcohol consumption (B) has actually been associated with a lower risk of heart disease when consumed in moderation. A low LDL cholesterol level in the blood (C) is actually a good thing as LDL is considered the "bad" cholesterol, and high levels of it have been linked to an increased risk of heart disease. While a high-carbohydrate diet (D) may lead to weight gain and other health issues, it is not specifically associated with an increased risk of heart disease.
