components of diet. It is undigested part of food. It consists of water and improves intestinal
function by adding bulk to food. They help to maintain overall health of the body.
Roughage or Fiber is of two types :
(a) Soluble Fiber (b)Insoluble Fiber
Soluble fiber can dissolve in water, whereas in soluble fiber can't. The soluble fiber reduces
blood sugar fluctuation and lowers cholesterol. Insoluble fiber is a good stool softener.
Usually30 grams of fiber is recommended for adult per day. Both types of roughage or fiber
are equally significant for human beings. Fiber is helpful in decreasing the risk of heart
disease and preventing certain types of cancer.

Ans. Vitamins is also an important nutritive component of food just like protein, carbohydrate
and fats. Vitamins are very vital for healthy life. Vitamins protect us from various types of
diseases. In fact, vitamins increase immunity power in our body against diseases. They are
important for metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. They do not provide energy but help to
repair and maintenance of various tissues. They are required in very small quantity how ever
if our diet is lacking in these vitamins, they cause certain diseases known as deficiency
diseases. There are 13 vitamins but the important vitamins are A, B, C, D, E and K. Most of

bones. Its deficiency lead to excessive bleeding. Generally blood continues to
flow for longer time. The requirement of this vitamin is more for pregnant
ladies. Its deficiency also causes anemia.
Sources : This vitamin is mainly found in cauliflower, spinach, cabbage,
tomato, potato, green vegetables, wheat, egg and meat etc.
(b)Water soluble vitamins :These vitamins are soluble in water. These vitamins
can
not be stored in body. Hence, we need them from our food. They can be
destroyed by overcooking. They are easily absorb by the body and easy to
dissolve in water. They are made up of nitrogen and Sulphur. The following
vitamins fall in this category. (i)Vitamin 'B' complex (ii)Vitamin 'C'

Carbohydrates : They are main source of energy for almost all activates.
They give quickly energy and less amount of carbohydrate in diet causes
under nutrition and weight loss. Excess amount stored in livers and tissues
from there they release the energy when in need.

Proteins :- Proteins are needed for growth & development of body. It

helps and replace the worn out tissues. It does not provide energy under
normal routine but give energy under extreme starvation, High intake of
proteins creates overload over kidney and livers. Deficiency diseases are
kwashiorkor or mares mus.

Fats : Fats are emergency sources of energy and stored in body. Fats carry
Vitamin, A,D,E,K. They are sources for energy for large activities. In
proper functionary of glands and internal organs against the blood clotting,
maintains the skin and important of proper functionary of glands and
internals organs and it helps on blood clotting, maintains the skin and hair.

6. What do you mean by ‘Healthy weight’? Explain the methods to control healthy body
weight to lead healthy-living.
ANS. A healthy weight, or normal weight, means that your Body Mass
Index falls within a weight range that is not associated with an
increased risk for weight- related diseases and health issues. Body
Mass Index is determined by your height and your weight.
1. Set an Appropriate Goal: For losing body weight, you should set an appropriate goal, i.e.,
how much weight you want to shed or lose. While setting the goal, you should know about
your capacities and limitations. Your goal should be achievable. You may set your goal for
one month. Take a pledge that you will lose 1 kg per month depending on how much
excess weight you have. After that you can further set your goal for weight control.
2. Lay Stress on Health Not on Weight: It is a well-known fact that losing weight for health
rather than appearance can make it easier to set reasonable goals. From the point of view of
health, you should make efforts to achieve or maintain a body mass index between the range
of 18.5 and 24.9. If your BMI or waist measures beyond these limits you may be at a risk of
contracting various diseases. So, from the point of view of health try to maintain these
limits. 3.Cut Your Calories: Keep a plan ready to get back on the track if your body
weight begins to exceed the required level. It is a simple plan to follow . Just cut or subtract
only 100 calories a day. In this way, you can return t goal. Your set
4. Active Lifestyle: An active dynamic lifestyle plays a pertinent role in
controlling weight. School children should prefer to walk to school instead of going by car or
motorbike. Instead of elevators, they should take stairs. If they want to switch off the TV, they
should not use a remote control but should do this physically. They should not watch TV for
more hours. Instead of watching TV for more hours they should play outdoor games. In this
way, they can lead an active lifestyle, which will be beneficial in their weight control.
5. Bring Out Support: No doubt, you can lose or maintain your weight without anybody’s
support, but if you get support from other people it makes the process of losing weight easier
and more pleasant. Tell people who are close to you about your intention that you are serious
and committed to losing weight. Tell them that you would appreciate e their support. In fact,
having a support of a partner really works wonders for many persons. Promising to meet a
partner for the regularly scheduled gym time is a great way to stick to a workout routine. Such
type of support can be sought for lifetime. It will help you in maintaining your weight.
6. Yogic Exercise : Yogic exercises can help in controlling as well as maintaining proper
weight. For example, pranayama and yogic asana, are helpful in controlling weight. As a
matter of fact, research studies have proved that stress and tension tend to increase weight.
Meditative asana are beneficial in relieving stress and tension. Therefore, yogic exercises can
also be used for keeping a good control on weight.

7. Elucidate about the various pitfalls of dieting in detail.

Ans. 1.Extreme Reduction of Calories: For dieting, intake of calories is reduced extremely.
Research studies indicate that 1800 calories a day cannot meet all the nutritional requirements
of an individual. If you reduce intake of calories it will result in a huge loss of weight. It can
be dangerous for you. It will definitely lower your metabolism and as a result of this your
body weight will not be reduced in a healthy manner.
2. Restriction on Some Nutrients: Generally some nutrients like carbohydrates and fats are
restricted in dieting. In reality, your body needs all types of nutrients. If you don’t take all
the nutrients in required amounts, the proper functioning of the body will be impaired.
3. Skipping Meals: It is a fact that if you have good metabolic rate, you can maintain or
lose weight. If your metabolic rate is slow you gain weight very easily. So, if you skip
meals, it will lower your metabolism to conserve energy. So, skipping meals works against
your weight-loss plans. Research studies also show if you skip one meal, you take more
calories during the next meal.
4. Intake of Calories through Beverages: If you want to lose your weight, most probably,
you lay stress on not to eat more and not on what you drink. In fact, beverages, coffee with
cream and sugar, sweetened juices and sodas really contribute to weight gain.
5. Underestimating the Calories: It is a fact that most of the persons who go on dieting usually
underestimate the number of calories they consume. So, it is essential to be more aware of the
amount of calories you take in your diet.
6. Intake of Labelled Foods: Most of the persons who go on dieting u usually go for such
food products that carry the label ‘lean’, ‘sugar free’, ‘low calories’ or
‘no fat or fat-free’. Such type of food is not always the best for losing weight.
In addition, it does not meet all the nutrient requirements of your body. As a matter of fact,
three chocolate biscuits contain 140 calories whereas three non-fat cookies contain 120
calories. This difference is insignificant. Apart from this, when you eat such products you
think that these products have very few calories and so you tend to eat more, as a result of
w more calories.
8. What do you mean by food intolerance? Explain the causes, symptoms and
management of food
Ans. Food intolerance is more common than food allergy. Food intolerance is a term used
widely for varied physiological responses associated with a particular food. In simple words,
food intolerance means the individual elements of certain foods that cannot be properly
processed and absorbed by our digestive system. Some persons can tolerate a
reasonable am unit of the food but if they eat too much or too often they get symptoms
of food intolerance because their body cannot tolerate unlimited amounts. Food intolerance
comes on gradually not frequently. It is not life threatening.
Causes of Food Intolerance
Food intolerance is caused by part or complete absence of activity of the enzymes
responsible for breaking down or absorbing the food elements. These deficiencies are usually
innate. Sometimes food intolerance can be diet-related or can be due to illness.
Symptoms
Food intolerance can cause nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, vomiting, flatulence, gas, cramps,
heartburn, headaches, irritability, nervousness, etc.
Management of Food Intolerance
Individuals can try minor changes of diet to exclude food causing adverse reactions.
Sometimes it can be managed adequately in such a way without the need for professional
assistance. If you are unable to know the food which causes problem you should seek expert
medical help. Guidance can also be provided by your general practitioner to assist in diagnosis
and management. For managing food intolerance, fructose intolerance therapy, lactose
intolerance therapy and histamine intolerance therapy can be applied.

9. What do you mean by food myths? Explain any six food myths prevailing in
contemporary society.
Ans. There are various food myths which are prevailing not only in India but all over the
world. What to eat, when to eat and how often to eat are such questions which usually
confuse most of the individuals. We believe in such myths because the sound like
they could be true. Nowadays, we have scientific knowledge and on the basis of that
knowledge we should not believe in food myths. The most common food myths which are still
prevalent in our contemporary society are stated subsequently.
1. Potatoes Make You Fat: Earlier, people used to think that carbohydrate-rich foods such as
rice, potato, etc., increase body weight. So, for losing or reducing weight they used to
eliminate carbohydrate-rich foods from the diet. Now, we know that carbohydrates are the
body’s preferred energy source. Potatoes do not automatically make you fat. So, there i
moderate quantity. no problem in taking potatoes in
2. Fat-free Products Will Help You in Losing Weight: Fat-free labelled products can lead to
weight gain, In fact, these foods have more calories. Approximately, these products have the
same number of calories (may be
slightly less) in compares n to other regular food. In addition, most of the
persons eat more quantity of labelled food under the misconception that it comprises less
calories can cause weight gain. However, they ultimately consume more calories which
3. Eggs Increase Cholesterol Levels So Avoid Them: Eggs are, undoubtedly good source
of health. An egg provides you various nutrients such as protein, vitamins A, B, D, zinc,
iron, calcium, phosphorus, etc. It also fulfils the daily require enter cholesterol by our
body. So, taking one egg daily causes no problem in the level of cholesterol.
4. Drinking While Eating Makes You Fat: The actual fact behind this misconception is that
enzymes and their digestive juices will be diluted by drinking water while eating. It will
slow down your digestion which may lead to excess body fat. In contrary, there is a
scientific fact that drinking water while eating improves digestion.
5. Don’t Take Milk Immediately After Eating Fish: Many people believe that you should not
take milk immediately after eating fish. They think that it will make you sick. Some people
even think that spots can appear on your skin if you consume milk after eating fish. As a
matter of fact, there is no scientific reason in taking milk immediately after eating fish.
Indeed,
these products may be taken together.
6. Starve Yourself If You Want to Lose Weight: Eating a good diet is more important than not
to eat when you are on a weight-loss program. Include such food items in your diet which
suppress appetite and increase metabolism so that you don’t eat too much. So, there is no need
to starve yourself if you want to lose weight.
7. Exercise Makes You Eat More: Exercise burns calories which may increase your hunger.
Research studies conducted in this area have not shown that the individuals, who do
exercise, consume more calories than those who don’t exercise. So, there is no truth in this
statement.
