Good food
We eat food to satisfy our hunger and to
live well. Good food means the right kind of food for
good health. It is nutritious. It must
contain natural substances that our body needs to grow properly and stay
healthy. The various kinds of food that we eat can be classified into six
classes according to what substance they contain and what they do to us. They
are Carbohydrate, fat, protein, vitamins, minerals salts and water. These
different classes of food have different food values, and as such, they perform
different functions to our body. The foods having carbohydrate give us heat and
energy. By eating rice, bread, potatoes, sugar and gur we get carbohydrate. The
foods having fat also give us heat and energy. By eating oil, butter and ghee,
we get fat. Both carbohydrate and fat keep our body fit for work. In the same way the foods having protein
build our body and help us to grow up properly. By eating fish, meat, eggs,
dal, beans etc. we get protein. The foods having vitamins and mineral salts
protect us from diseases and keep our body strong and healthy. By eating
vegetables, fruits and by drinking milk we get both vitamins and mineral salts.
Water is also very important and absolutely necessary to keep in good health.
It controls the heat of our body, helps us to digest food and keeps our blood
healthy. For the proper growth of our body and for keeping it healthy we should
eat the necessary quantities of these foods everyday. We must not eat too much though the food is
good. Eating too much is bad for health. We have to eat only a certain amount
of food that our body needs. So we do not need the same kind of food in the
same quantity. It depends on our growth and physical structure.
Good Health/Health
is wealth/ How to maintain good health
Good health
means sound body. The body that is free from all sort diseases is called good
health. We can keep good health to follow some rules and regulations. To keep
good health one should rise early in the morning and take some physical
excises. Besides, eating vegetables, drinking pure water and eating balanced
diet are the prerequisite of keeping good health. I am a student and I always
try to follow the rules of health. Because, I know that health is wealth and
health is the root of all happiness. Balance diet is essential for keeping good
health. The foods that contain carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins and
minerals are called balanced diet. If people do not take balanced diet, they
often suffer from various diseases. Therefore, I always try to have balanced
diet. The importance of keeping good health can not be described in words.
There is a proverb that a sound mind depends on a sound body. A healthy man is
really lucky because he can do his duties properly and become successful in
life. Therefore, we should keep good health to lead healthy, wealthy
comfortable and diseases free life.
How
to Follow the Rules of Health
Health is wealth. It is the root of all
happiness. Health is the state of having sound mind in a sound body. To keep
sound body, the rules of health should be followed strictly. First of all, take
physical exercise regularly and eat a balanced diet. Without taking physical
exercise, nobody can remain hale and hearty. Then, take proper rest. Next,
drink clean and sufficient water. Pollution free water is essential because
polluted water causes different water-borne diseases. After that, take leafy
vegetables. Try to be free from tension and. Finally, cleanliness is very
important and so keep yourself and your environment neat and clean. Bear in
mind that cleanliness in an indispensable part of belief. Besides, one may take
part in various sports and games for the purpose. He should not keep late hours
at night and should get up early in the morning. And thus sound health can be
preserved.
Good Health
Good health refers to the physical and
mental soundness which makes one healthy, fit and active and keeps one free
from diseases. But it is not easy to maintain good health. In order to keep
good health, one should follow certain rules of health. One should take regular
physical exercise, proper rest or sleep and above all, a balanced diet. But it
is a matter of regret that most of our people, as they are living below the
poverty line, cannot manage all the foods necessary for maintaining good
health. But even the rich and educated people of our country, though they take
a wide variety of foods, are not conscious of the rules of good health. The
ever-increasing problems of our day-to-day life seem to affect our health
greatly. They give rise to frustration, hopelessness, mental disorder and much
other socio-economic confusion. All these factors take away the peace of our
mind and affect our health. However, a person with a simple and carefree life
is likely to enjoy a sound mind in a sound body.
Nakshi Kantha
Nakshi kantha is a kind of embroidered quilt. The name was taken from the
Bengali word, ‘naksha’ which means artistic pattern. It is a kind of
traditional craft and is said to be indigenous to Bangladesh
and West Bengal in India.
The art has been practiced in rural Bengal for
centuries. The name ‘Nakshi kantha’ became popular after the poet
Jasimuddin’s poem ‘Nakshi kanthar Math’was published in 1929.
Traditional kanthas are made for family use. Old or new cloth and thread are
used to make these quilts. Mymensingh, Jamalpur, Rajshahi, Faridpur, Bogra and
Jessore are most famous for this craft. Now it is produced commercially. You
can find them in many expensive handicraft shops in cities. The quilts are now
in great demand because of the colourful patterns and designs embroidered on
them. Finally, we can say that “Nakshi Kanhta” signifies a token of Bengali
culture and tradition.
The Floating Market
A market which stands
temporary and can move from one place to another easily is called floating
market. It is an important place for both in town and village because different
types of essential goods are sold here. There are two types of floating
markets; one can mean a temporary market like hat and another can indicate the
market which really floats on water. Usually this type of market is very rare
in our country but in foreign countries, like Bangkok it is very common. Generally, a part
of the people of Bangkok
lives beside the canals, which are known as ‘klongs.’ They travel on the klongs
by boat and at that time they buy their necessary commodities from the floating
market. They can purchase them from their personal boats easily and the rate of
the commodities is also cheaper than other markets. The Tha Kha floating market is the most historical importance and
interesting market. The Tha Kha floating market is more traditional with a few tourists
visiting than other floating markets. Originally, the Tha Kha floating market
used to sit only six or seven days a month depending on the phase of the moon.
Now a days, the trade takes place on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays too. The
main buyers here are the Tha Kha natives. People seem to know each other very
well. Everyone was seen smiling and calling each other by name. The locals did
not notice Mita and others much. They were all busy buying and selling. So, the market is very
famous to them and they get much interest from
it.
Folk Song
Folk
song is the part and parcel of Bangladeshi culture and tradition. Bangladesh is a
reverie country and its size is like a delta. She was relived of Pakistan in
1971.She has her own culture and tradition. Bangladesh is teeming with various
kinds of folk songs such as Palligiti, Bhatiali, Bhawaiya, Jari, Sari,
Gambhira, Lalongit, Palagaan and song of Hason Raja. Folk songs are rendered in
the traditional style of community. Here the
traditional style includes the themes, words and tunes of the songs that have
existed for a long time among the common people. The traditional musical
instruments are usually played with these songs. These instruments are Dotara,
Tabla, Sarinda, Piano, Guitar, Harmonium, Bamboo flute, Ek-tara, Drum and
Violin; Villagers still lull to sleep through listening to these songs. Now
young generations are gradually getting westernized and the song are rendered
by western instruments. Despite these negative aspects, we can say that folk
songs are the symbol of Bangladeshi’s culture and tradition.

The Truthful
Dove
Once upon a time, a dove and a bat were very good friends. One
day the two friends decided to set out on a journey. They flew over the rivers
and hills and came to a big jungle. Both the friends were very tired, they
needed to sit down and take a rest. Soon night fell and it was dark all around.
A storm rose. It started to rain heavily. The dove and the bat started to look
for a shelter. They came upon a century-old rain tree. An owl had his nest in
that tree. The dove and the bat requested the owl to give them shelter. They
begged for some food too. The selfish owl was not happy. But he gave them
shelter and shared his dinned with them. The dove was so tired that she could
not eat much. But the bat was sly. He ate greedily. Now he began to praise the
owl in the hope of getting more food. The owl was very pleased at the bat’s
flattery.

The wheel is the greatest invention of human beings. Human
beings conquered the distance by discovering the wheels. The wheels has helped
to create a new civilization. A wheel is a circular object. It can rotate
around its axis and help easy movement of things across a surface. The wheels
are infact, everywhere. They are on our cars, trains, planes, wagons and so on.
Besides, they are on most factory and farm equipment. The Mesopotamians were
the first to use the wheels. The oldest ever built wheel was discovered in Mesopotamia in 3500 B.C. After the Mesopotamians the
wheel was further improved by the Egyptians. They made wheels with spokes. Then
they used them on chariots around 2000 B.C. Wheels reached the Indus Vally by
3000 B.C. Chariots with spoked wheels were made in ancient India, around
1500 BC. They were used for war, hunting and racing. Infact, we cannot imagine
modern life without wheels.
River gypsies
in Bangladesh
River gypsies
are an ethnic group in Bangladesh.
They are known as bedey to local people. The gypsies have their own lifestyle
and culture. They live in groups and do not own any land. So, they live a nomadic life traveling from one
place to another. These people roam across our rivers and waters from May to
December in small country boats. These boats are their houses and these people
are a part of our waters. In winter, many water bodies dry up. At that time they
return to the mainland and live in make-shift tarpaulin tents on open river
banks. Throughout the monsoon, they remain busy with fishing. They also dive
for natural pearls in waters. Sometimes, they camp for a couple of weeks. Men
catch snakes and entertain people with snake charming and sell herbal cures.
Women go from door to door to sell bangles, cosmetics and other things. They
also try to heal pains of old people often by sucking out blood from their
body. Many villagers believe in the magical power of the gypsies . They can an
evil spirit leave someone’s body by magic or special Powers. Now a days many
gypsies are coming to town and changing their profession.
