ITS TIFFIN TIME

Students spend around six-seven hours a day in school. We feel hungry, so we have to eat something while at school. Therefore, to eat and relax, schools provide half hour to one hour break. During this break, we something to satiate our hunger. What we eat that is called Tiffin. So, even that break for Tiffin is famous among students as ‘Tiffin time’. We have read that health is wealth. Good health is our most precious asset. If we fall sick, we cannot continue our studies and lag behind in class. Normally, our parents give us hygienic and nutritious food, but sometimes we insist on food that does not nourish us properly. Then the question is that what should be the ideal items to be included in our Tiffin box? The box should contain items that are nutritious, sufficient and fresh. Fruits like orange, apple banana and others like roti cheura, pakora, samosa, curry, achar could be ideal Tiffin. Attractive ads shown on TV and newspapers try us to get to have food of less quality. As we study health and nutrition in our course, we should know what is good and what is bad for our body. So, instead of falling for attractive ads, we should choose good food. I’d also like to ask are your hands clean when you open your Tiffin box? If they are dirty, then even good food cannot help you to stay healthy. So remember to wash your hands before you sit to enjoy your Tiffin.
