Solution
The correct option is C
Dietary diseases
Many dietary deficiencies start with bad eating habits. Eating only one kind of food for a long time makes the other components deficient in the body and leads to a disease condition. for example, eating only chocolates and sweets will lead to vitamin and mineral deficiency. Eating a balanced diet makes sure all the food components are eaten in the right proportions, thus fulfilling all the nutritional requirements of our body.
