Read the passage carefully and answer the questions no. 21 to 25 given below.
Diet plays a vital role in the maintenance of good health and in the
prevention and cure of disease.
The human body builds up and maintains healthy cells, tissues, glands and
organs only with the help of various nutrients. The body cannot perform any of its
functions, be they metabolic, hormonal, mental, physical or chemical, without
specific nutrients. The food which provides these nutrients is thus one of the most
essential factors in building and maintaining health.
Nutrition, which depends on food, is also of utmost importance in the cure of
disease. The primary cause of disease is a weakened organism or lowered resistance
in the body, arising from the adoption of a faulty nutritional pattern. There is an
elaborate healing mechanism within the body but it can perform its functions only if
it is abundantly supplied with all the essential nutritional factors.
Human cells need at least 45 chemical components and elements. Each of
these 45 substances, called essential nutrients, must be present in an adequate diet.
The nutrients include oxygen and water. The other 43 essential nutrients are
classified into five groups : carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals and vitamins. All
45 of these nutrients are vitally important and they work together. Therefore, the
absence of any may result in disease, eventually death.
Research has shown that almost all varieties of diseases can be produced by
an undersupply of various nutrients. These nutritional deficiencies occur on account
of various factors, including the intense processing and refining of foods, the time lag
between the harvesting and consumption of vegetables and fruits, the chemicals
M T l W W # GTPTI 1 SPACE FOR ROUGH WORK
Text of page 9
used in bleaching, flavouring, colouring and preserving foods and the chemical
fertilizers, fungicides, insecticides and sprays used for treating the soil. Therefore, as
a first principle of nutrition one should insist on whole meal flour and whole meal
bread and avoid the white stuff.
Research has also shown that diseases produced by combinations of
deficiencies can be corrected when all the nutrients are supplied, provided the
damage is not irreparable. A well balanced and correct diet should be made up of
foods which i n combination would supply all the essential nutrients.
It has been found that a diet which contains liberal quantities of (i) seeds,
nuts, and grain, (ii) vegetables, and (iii) fruits would provide adequate amounts of all
the essential nutrients. These foods have, therefore, been aptly called basic food
groups and the diet containing these food groups as optimum diet for vigour and
vitality.

a. Nutrition for vigour and vitality.
b. Importance of nutrients in curing diseases.
c. Types of nutrients.
d. Balanced diet.
