16. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that
follow:
Fasting
is said to bring a host of benefits, provided it is done under medical
supervision. Doctors explain how to go about it. Food is to the body what fuel
is to a motor vehicle. It provides energy, helps repair and rejuvenates and
confers many other benefits. A lot of research has been done and is being done
on fasting. When one fasts, the digestive organs get rest and all body
mechanisms are cleansed.
While
fasting, the natural process of toxin removal continues, while the entry of new
toxins is reduced. The energy usually used for digestion is redirected to
immune system and cell growth. Fasting helps you lose excess weight and water,
flushes out toxins, helps you heal at greater speed, cleanse your over, kidney
and colon, purifies your blood, clears the tongue and cleanses the breath.
Another
research says that fasting, ever occasionally, helps in de-toxification,
Through fasting we restrict digestive activity and so energy is utilised to
cleanse different systems. Fasting improves metabolism, sharpens the senses,
calms the mind, improves general immunity, improves concentration and mental
clarity. Fasting has tremendous benefits and impacts one at various planes:
mental,
emotional, physical and spiritual. Specifically it helps in de-toxification,
repair and rejuvenation, gives rest to the gastrointestinal system and promotes
mobilisation of excess fat. The crucial point to note is difference between
fasting and starvation. Research suggests that there are other benefits of
fasting It slows down the aging process, stress resistance, increased insulin
sensitivity and increases lifespan. On the other hand, starvation occurs when
the body begins to use protein for fuel and may lead to death in some cases.
(a) On the basis of your reading of the above passage, make

(b) Write a summary of the passage.
Ans.
Fasting has various benefits if it is done under medical supervision According
to research, it detoxifies the body, cleanses different systems, improves
metabolism and general immunity and provides benefits at the mental, emotional,
physical and spiritual planes. It is wrong to mistake fasting for starvation.
If starvation continues, the body consumes glucose from the liver, muscles and
the protein content of the body and ultimately, death can occur
