Question

Which of the following statement is correct?

• A. Prefer consuming full-cream milk and curd
• B. Take a large amount of fats and sugar
• C. Choose whole grains instead of refined grains
• D. Include a large amount of nuts in daily meals

Hint:

Healthy eating means moderation and more fibre. Which statement fits?

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Recall the rules of healthy eating:
A healthy diet is balanced and moderate. It has enough fibre, vitamins and minerals, and only small amounts of fat and sugar.

Step 2: Check statement (C):
Whole grains keep the bran and germ of the grain. They give more fibre, B vitamins and minerals than refined grains such as maida.
Fibre helps digestion and keeps us full for longer. So (C) is CORRECT.

Step 3: Check statement (A):
Full-cream milk and curd have a lot of fat. Toned or skimmed milk is usually preferred in a daily diet. So (A) is FALSE.

Step 4: Check statements (B) and (D):
(B) A large amount of fats and sugar adds extra calories and can lead to obesity and diabetes. So (B) is FALSE.
(D) Nuts are healthy but rich in fat and energy. They are taken in small amounts, not in large amounts. So (D) is FALSE.

Final Answer:
Choosing whole grains over refined grains is the correct statement, which is option (C). \[ \boxed{\text{(C) Choose whole grains instead of refined grains}} \]
