Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer to each question.
Good health depends on several things. Fresh air and sunlight are very important for our health. Fresh air helps us to improve our immune system and overall health. So a morning walk is very useful for health. Sunlight helps our body to produce vitamin-D. A dirty and damp atmosphere causes lots of diseases. Fresh and pure drinking water is also necessary for good health. Impure drinking- water is the cause of several diseases. So, we must take care of these things. Food is another necessary thing for the body. Nutritious foods help us to maintain good health. Consumption of healthy foods helps us to minimize any health-related problems. We all should know, how, when and what to eat. We should always include a portion of green vegetables, fruits, or salads in our meals. Green vegetables are sources of vital nutrients. Our digestive system plays a key role in our overall health. Fiber-rich foods such as whole-grain wheat, bran rice, etc. help us improve our digestive system. A balanced and nutritious diet helps the proper growth of the body. But we must remember that we eat to live and not that we live to eat. In India, over-eating causes a large number of deaths. If we eat less, we may live more.
Cleanliness is essential for good health. Without cleanliness, it is very difficult to maintain proper health. We should clear our house and the surrounding areas every day. Every day, we should bathe twice, in the morning and in the evening. After eating food, we should clean our hands with soap.
Various types of diseases erupt from unclean surroundings. We should always throw the garbage in the dustbin. A disease-free body is a healthy body, and cleanliness is the key to health. We must know some simple rules of hygiene. Our house must be airy and sunny. Apart from all this, we must form good habits. We should keep ourselves free from care and anxieties. Early rising is equally necessary for good health. So we must try to keep fit. Health is the real wealth. Health is a great treasure. It is the highest blessing. It is the source of all happiness. Money can’t buy happiness. Happiness is priceless and not dependent upon the wealth of a person. Good health, however, contributes to the emotional well-being and happiness of a person. Even with limited income, a person with sound health can lead a happy and enjoyable life.
