45) Sandra has been working very long hours the past three months and has had very little time to relax.  She works as a medical transcriptionist and spends most of her time at her desk. The results of her recent annual physical indicated that her calcium levels were on the lower end of the acceptable values.  Her physician suggests that she adjust her diet to include more calcium-rich foods and to spend some time relaxing outdoors.  Why would her physician suggest she spend time outdoors to improve her calcium levels?

1. A) Relaxing outdoors would provide fresh air, which helps with calcium absorption.
2. B) If Sandra is outdoors, she is less likely to eat snack foods that are not calcium-rich.
