Read the passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.

Apart from regular exercise, the food we put in our bodies can have both instant and life-long effects on our health, and too much of everything is also bad. Leftover food may create stress because it can hurt our stomach badly. Too much salt, sugar, fat and pepper also makes us less calm. Overconsumption of some kinds of foods, such as onion, garlic, tea, coffee, tobacco, soda, alcohol, chocolate, sour apples, pickles and refined sugars encourages aggression, and consumers tend to have more worries than happiness. More importantly, the relationship between food and stress is about what or how much we eat and how the food is eaten. For example, stress is probably created when we eat food in a great hurry or when we are angry. The way the food is served is also a matter of importance. Not only does the presentation of the dish play a role but the love and affection with which the food is provided are also essential. It is considered a bad habit to give too many negative comments on the food that we are eating. It is better not to eat the dish we do not like than look for something wrong in it.

Bear in mind that we should maintain regular eating habits. Workaholics who do not arrange a time to eat food at proper meal time may suffer from serious stomachache. One must try to enjoy their food, so frequently eating business lunches or dinners is not a really good idea. Every bite of food should be enjoyed with relaxation. Food and discussions should not be mixed. There are accepted ways to charge our daily food. Prayer could be the best method for energizing the food, and it usually has a useful effect.
