Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

(a) Balanced diet contains all the nutrients (carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, proteins) in appropriate amounts, which are required for maintaining proper health, for growth and repair and for fighting against diseases. Lack of balanced diet results in occurrence of diseases. Thus, balanced diet is necessary for maintaining healthy body.

(b) Health is a state of being well enough to function well physically, mentally and socially and these conditions, depend upon the surrounding environmental conditions. If there are unhygienic conditions in the surrounding area such as piling of garbage, stagnant water etc. we might get infected and diseased. Thus, health of an organism depends upon the surrounding environmental conditions.
