Tick (√) the statements that are correct.
Meat alone is sufficient to provide all nutrients to the body. ( )

Answer 1

Meat alone is sufficient to provide all nutrients to the body. (X)

The given statement is false.

Meat is rich in protein and fats. The major nutrients in our food are carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. In addition, the food contains dietary fibres and water which are also needed by our body. All these nutrients are required to fulfil the nutritional requirement of our body. Hence, meat alone is not sufficient to provide all nutrients to the body.
