Solution

Dal contains proteins, which is required for body growth and its repair. Green leafy vegetables are rich in iron, the absence of which causes anaemia. Fresh citrus fruits provide vitamin C to our body. Vitamin C is essential to keep blood vessels, teeth and gums strong and healthy. Rice or bread or chapattis are a good source of carbohydrates, which provide energy to the body. Therefore, it is important to include the mentioned food items in our diet.
