Which of the following is a true statement? a) Short-term goals are more important than long-term goals b) You should eat more of the foods at the top of the food pyramid c) Lack of sleep can weaken your immune system d) Pasta and chicken are in the same food group because they both contain protein

(c) Lack of sleep can weaken your immune system

Explanation:

As per the question,

(a) Short-term goals are more important than long-term goals:

Every goal is important in their respective place. Without short term goals, you can't achieve your long term goals, and with no long term goal, you will not gain any value place with just short term goals.

So this statement is not perfect or we can say not true.

(b) You should eat more of the foods at the top of the food pyramid

Eating more food can cause obesity and we can not eat to eat food from the top of the pyramid regularly because they contain more calories.

Hence, the wrong statement.

(c) Lack of sleep can weaken your immune system

Yes, Lack of sleep can activate the inflammatory immune response, and reducing the activity of T cells (immune cells) in the body. This can weaken our immune system and response to vaccines. Try to sleep at least 7-8 hours.

Hence, this statement is true.

(d) Pasta and chicken are in the same food group because they both contain protein

Totally wrong statement because pasta is junk food or fast food and eating junk food for long periods of time either they contain protein, can lead to obesity, vitamin deficiencies, heart disease, and other health problems. These health problems can lead to very expensive medical bills.

So, this statement is also not true.

So, the only correct option is (c).
