VIII. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions.
 In today’s fast-paced world, maintaining a healthy lifestyle has become more important than ever before. A healthy
lifestyle involves making conscious choices about what we eat, how much we exercise and how we prioritise sleep. By
adopting healthy habits, we can prevent chronic diseases, improve our physical and mental health, and live a happier and
more fulfilling life.
A balanced diet is the foundation of a healthy lifestyle. Eating a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean
proteins, and healthy fats can provide the essential nutrients needed to maintain good health. Processed foods, sugary
drinks, and saturated fats should be avoided as they can lead to obesity, heart disease, and other chronic illnesses.
Regular exercises are also crucial for a healthy lifestyle. They help in strengthening muscles and bones, improving
cardiovascular health, and reducing the risk of chronic diseases. Exercises also release endorphins, which are natural mood
boosters and can help reduce stress levels. Experts recommend at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercises per day
for adults.
Adequate sleep is another important aspect of a healthy lifestyle. Getting 7-8 hours of sleep per night can improve
cognitive function, enhance memory, and promote physical and emotional health. A regular sleep routine, avoiding caffeine
and electronics before bedtime, and creating a relaxing sleep environment can help improve sleep quality.
In conclusion, a healthy lifestyle requires a balanced diet, regular exercises and adequate sleep. By making small
changes to our lifestyle, we can significantly reduce the risk of chronic diseases, improve our physical and mental health,
and live a happier and more fulfilling life. It is essential to prioritise healthy habits and make them a part of our daily
routine.
