11.  Nutritious food is not always palatable, and tasty food may not always be nutritious. Comment with illustrations.

Explanation:

Food that is delicious yet unhealthful includes burgers, pizzas, churros, potato chips, and other foods. These dishes are unhealthy because they contain refined flour (Maida), spices, and a lot of oil.

Yet, nutrient-dense foods may not always taste delicious, such as boiled vegetables, legumes, green vegetables, etc., despite the fact that they are incredibly healthy. These foods include vital nutrients (proteins, vitamins, minerals, etc.) that support the strength and wellness of our bodies.


12. Several potatoes were peeled and sliced into small pieces by Paheli and Boojho. They scrubbed them clean before boiling them. After discarding the extra water, they were fried in oil with salt and spices. Although the potato dish tasted excellent, it had little nutritional value. Provide a technique for cooking potatoes that won't reduce their nutritional value.

Explanation:

In addition to providing carbs, vitamins (particularly vitamin C), minerals, and dietary fibre, potatoes are a nutrient-rich food. Peeled potatoes offer an additional source of nutritional fibre and minerals.

The following is a way of cooking potatoes that won't reduce their nutritional content:

The potatoes should be washed and sliced thin. The potatoes should be cooked with some water, a small bit of oil, salt, and spices. While cooking, the pot should be covered. This process aids in preserving the potato's nutritional value.


13.  Paheli dislikes vegetables but enjoys white bread, spaghetti, and biscuits. She frequently expresses discomfort in her stomach and constipation. What foods should she incorporate in her diet to solve the issue? Reason for your response.

Explanation:

To solve her difficulties, Paheli should eat entire grains, whole pulses, fresh fruits, and vegetables. These foods provide the roughage (dietary fibre) that Paheli's diet lacks.

As they are made of refined flour (Maida), which has no roughage or fibre, Paheli should avoid eating biscuits, noodles, and white bread. Constipation is prevented by roughage.


14. (a) Compile a list of all the food ingredients that are nutrient-rich.

(ii) They aid in preserving our body's regular rate of growth.

(iii) They offer high levels of immunity, which promotes good health.


16. Despite not containing any nutrients, water is a vital part of diet. Explain.

(ii) Water aids in the removal of wastes and poisons from the body through urine and sweat.

(iii) Water aids in the body's absorption of nutrients such as vitamins and minerals.
