Read the excerpt from "Healthy Eating."
Fourteen years ago, Juanita Ferguson, 55, had a kidney transplant. So she watched what she ate and always included fruits and vegetables in her diet.
But it was the finer points that Ferguson, a supervisor in the respiratory care department at Baptist, was missing. She bought honey wheat bread, not realizing that at her age she needed much more fiber. She was unaware of her carb intake. And she had no idea that on weekends, when she was completing chores and running errands, forgetting to eat was causing problems.
How does the excerpt support the author's claim that making small changes can have positive effects?

It shows that Ferguson simply needed to cut down on her carbohydrates to improve her diet.

When Tamara Naar was 18, she was diagnosed with high blood pressure and put on medication to control it.
Nearly 25 years later, Naar found herself downing four pills a day, seeing a cardiologist and struggling with her weight.
“I was taking all these pills like an old woman,” said Naar, a neonatology nurse at Baptist Hospital. “My blood pressure is hereditary, but I added to it by adding the pounds and eating horribly every day.”
