Question

Read the passage given below carefully and answer the questions with the option you consider most appropriate in your answer sheet:

Is there anything common between a fruit and our body?

Well, it may surprise you, but the answer is 'yes'. Both the fruit and our body consist of water in a large quantity. 65% of our body is water. Similarly, a fruit consists of 80% water. Our body requires lots of water and the only things that meet this requirement perfectly are fruits. Can you name any eatable on the earth other than a fruit that contains 80% water on average? This question is quite difficult to answer so we can say that a fruit is a complete natural food for a human body.

High cholesterol is not considered good for a healthy body. Fruits do not contain much cholesterol. However several animal products such as meat and dairy products contain a lot of cholesterol. So it is preferable to avoid completely or reduce the consumption of animal products as much as possible.

A fruit is considered the best fuel for our brain. If someone consumes fruit on regular basis then his or her brain becomes capable of recalling information faster and more easily. Our lives have become so busy in the modern times that we hardly care about our eating habits and most of the time in the hustle-bustle of everyday life we forget to have a balanced diet also.

A diet that contains plenty of fibers is capable of protecting us against problems such as corpulence, high blood pressure, and other factors that are responsible for the increased chances of a heart disease. The food that contains healthy natural fibers is the right kind of food. Fruits and vegetables are natural foods which are rich in fiber.

Fruits help us fight one of the most dreadful conditions called 'depression'. Just remember eating a lot of fruits is capable of producing a mysterious healing effect on human beings. Drinking a lot of freshly squeezed fruits, as fruit juices are equally beneficial. Having fruit juices on a regular basis is good for a healthy body.
