Question

Statement I: Adolescents do not require a balanced diet since their bodies are capable of obtaining all necessary nutrients from occasional fast-food meals.

Statement II: It is advisable for adolescents to skip breakfast regularly to reduce their overall calorie intake, as this helps maintain a healthy weight.

विकल्प

• Statement I is true and Statement II is false.

• Statement I is false and Statement II is true.

• Both Statements I and II are true.

• Both Statements I and II are false.

Answer 1

Both Statements I and II are false.

Explanation:

Adolescents have increased needs for energy, protein, calcium, iron and multiple vitamins during growth, so a balanced diet is required, occasional fast-food meals cannot reliably provide all these nutrients. Regularly skipping breakfast is not advisable because breakfast breaks the overnight fast and supplies important energy and nutrients for body and brain; skipping it often worsens diet quality and can promote overeating later.
