Read the following passage and
answer the following:
|
While most people wouldn‟t consider skipping lunch or
dinner very often, a lot of us think nothing of trying to power through the
morning on an empty stomach. People skip breakfast for a variety of reasons :
not hungry, no time, don‟t like breakfast foods or trying to lose weight. If you‟re a breakfast - skipper and
still not convinced that it‟s important, read on.
It‟s true that some people just
aren‟t that hungry in the
morning. Many people feel like their stomachs take a while to „wake up‟. Even though your stomach
may not send you strong signals in the morning if you skip breakfast, your
muscles and brain will certainly protest.
Working muscles and an active mind require plenty of healthy
carbohydrates to keep them functioning properly.
Our bodies require the
right carbs - fruits, vegetables and whole grains - as our primary fuel
force. Taking in these „good‟ carbs in the morning can help keep blood sugar levels from
lagging and fuel the activity of your brain and muscles. And the right
proteins in the morning give the meal staying power and help you stay alert
and productive until lunch.

The
countryside must be preserved
(preferably, miles away from me. )
Neat hectares of the stuff reserved
For
those in need of flower or tree.
I‟ll make do with landscape painting
Film
documentaries on TV
And when I need to escape, painting.
Then
open-mouthed I‟ll head for the sea.
Let
others stroll and take their leisure,
In
grasses wade upto their knees-
For I derive no earthly pleasure
From
the green green rash that makes me sneeze
