Answer 1

The correct option is B People started practicing yoga recently to achieve physical health

Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. It increases productivity and longevity of people. When people are healthy, they are more efficient at work. For example a person with fever will feel weak and want to take rest.

Health is affected by lifestyle. Yoga has been practiced since ancient times to achieve physical and mental health. Balanced diet, personal hygiene and regular exercise are very important to maintain good health. For example, junk foods and absence of exercise leads to obesity.

Maintenance of hygienic food and water resources are necessary for achieving good health. For example, many infections like typhoid fever (Salmonella typhi) and cholera (Vibrio cholerae) spread through contaminated food and water.
