Why do we need to eat healthy food?
We need to eat healthy food to have a strong and healthy body, to get energy for daily activities, to avoid falling sick frequently, and to feel energetic.
Healthy food includes different kinds of vegetables, fruits, grains, pulses, and nuts.
Eating a variety of food items cooked at home provides a balanced diet that keeps us healthy and active.
Explanation
The story of Shirin on Pages 3-4 illustrates this concept clearly. Shirin used to fall sick because she only ate rice and potatoes. The champion advised her to eat different kinds of vegetables, fruits, grains (rice, ragi, jowar, wheat, bajra), pulses, and nuts. After following this advice, Shirin felt energetic and healthy, and won a medal. The chapter emphasizes the value of a balanced diet.
