Good food
We eat food to satisfy our hunger and to live well. Good food means the right kind of food for good health. It is nutritious. It must contain natural substances that our body needs to grow properly and stay healthy. The various kinds of food that we eat can be classified into six classes according to what substance they contain and what they do to us. They are Carbohydrate, fat, protein, vitamins, minerals salts and water. These different classes of food have different food values, and as such, they perform different functions to our body. The foods having carbohydrate give us heat and energy. By eating rice, bread, potatoes, sugar and gur we get carbohydrate. The foods having fat also give us heat and energy. By eating oil, butter and ghee, we get fat. Both carbohydrate and fat keep our body fit for work. In the same way the foods having protein build our body and help us to grow up properly. By eating fish, meat, eggs, dal, beans etc. we get protein. The foods having vitamins and mineral salts protect us from diseases and keep our body strong and healthy. By eating vegetables, fruits and by drinking milk we get both vitamins and mineral salts. Water is also very important and absolutely necessary to keep in good health. It controls the heat of our body, helps us to digest food and keeps our blood healthy. For the proper growth of our body and for keeping it healthy we should eat the necessary quantities of these foods everyday. We must not eat too much though the food is good. Eating too much is bad for health. We have to eat only a certain amount of food that our body needs. So we do not need the same kind of food in the same quantity. It depends on our growth and physical structure.

But even the rich and educated people of our country, though they take a wide variety of foods, are not conscious of the rules of good health. The ever-increasing problems of our day-to-day life seem to affect our health greatly. They give rise to frustration, hopelessness, mental disorder and much other socio-economic confusion. All these factors take away the peace of our mind and affect our health. However, a person with a simple and carefree life is likely to enjoy a sound mind in a sound body.

They can purchase them from their personal boats easily and the rate of the commodities is also cheaper than other markets.
