Q2.Read the passage given below ad answer the question that follow (Ten out of Twelve questions
to be answered)
(1x10-10 Marks)
1. We are what wast: TT type of food we eat has both immediate and long-term effects on us, at all
the three levels the body, the mind and the spirit. Food which is tamasik (i.c. Stale or leftover) in
nature is bound to generate stress as it tends to upset the normal functioning of the human body.
Fresheners shoy a be avoided. Taking piping hot tca/milk or steaming hot food, whenever available,
must be preloted. Excessive use of condiments also disturb one's usually calm attitude. Further it is
a mistaken clief that smoking or drinking, even in moderation, relieves stress. Simptomeals with
one or two food stems, rather than too many lavish dishes, are advisable. Also, vegetarian dict is
preferably Although it is customary to serve fruits with food items, it is not the right thing to do.
This is befcause different kinds of digestive secrctions are produced by the stomach for variant food
items. Mixing up too many varicties of food items in one meal creates problems for the digestive
system An fact, any one type of fruit, preferably taken in the moming is better.
2. On an ferage we cat almost three to four times the quantity of food than we actually need. A lot of
body's knergy is used up for digesting the excess food. It is said that after a particular level of food
intake the "food actually cats one up".
3. It is always good to cat a little less than your 'full-stomach' capacity. Besides never cat food unless
yoy are really hungry. To have dinner at 8 or 9 pm after a heavy snake around 5 or 6 p.m. in the
storing is asking for trouble. In fact, skipping a meal is always good if the stomach is upsct. There

arc varying vicws on the benefits of fasting, but we will not discuss them here. However giving a
break to one's stomach at least once a week by having only fruit or milk etc. may be worth a try.
4. Whle a little bit of water token with mcals is all right, drinking 30 to 60 ml of water with food is not
advisable. Water, taken an hour or so before or after meals, is good for digestion. Onc's dict must be
balanced with all the required nutrients for a healthy living.
5. Also remember, excess of everything is bad. Related to the problem of stress, excessive intake of salt
is definitely but. Too much sugar, fried food and chillics are not good either. Over-indulgence and
excessive craving for a particular taste/type of food generates rajasik(aggressive) or at worst,
tamasik(dull) tendencies. An even more important aspect of the relationship between food and stress
lies not so much in what or how much we cat but how the food is taken. For example, food eaten in
great hurry or in a state of anger or any other negative state of mind is bound to induce stress. How
the food is served is also very important. Not only the presentation, cutlery, crockery, etc. play a
role, the love and affection with which the food is served is also significant. Finding faults with food
while it is being caten is a bad habit. It is better not to eat the food you don't like, rather than finding
faults with it.
6. It is good to have regular food habits. Workaholics who don't find time to eat food at the proper
mcal time invite stomach ulcers. One must try to enjoy one's food, and therefore, cating at the so-
called lunch/dinner meetings is highly inadvisable. Every morsel should be enjoyed with a totally
peaceful state of Mind. Food and discussions should not be mixed. There are accepted ways to
*charge the food we cat. Prayer is perhaps the best method for energizing the food and it docs define
additional good at no extra cost,
