Question 4

Why should we eat fruits and green vegetables every day?

Accepted Answer

Fruits and green vegetables are protective foods. They give us vitamins and minerals that keep us healthy, protect us from diseases, and help our body grow properly.

Question 5

Riya eats only rice and roti every day. Is this a healthy diet? Why or why not?

Accepted Answer

No, eating only rice and roti is not a healthy diet. Rice and roti are energy-giving foods only. Riya also needs body-building foods (dal, milk, eggs) for strong muscles and protective foods (fruits, vegetables) for vitamins to fight diseases. A balanced diet has foods from ALL three groups.
