Match the two columns. Column A Column B 1. Seafood (i) Potato 2. Vitamin D (ii) Butter 3. Protein (iii) Anaemia 4. Starch (iv) Iodine 5. Fat (v) Pulses 6. Vitamin B 12 (vi) Rickets

(1)-(iv) Minerals are the protective foods which protect us from several diseases. Iodine is a necessary mineral required for keeping the body healthy. Deficiency of iodine leads to a disease called goitre. Iodised salt, fish and seafood are the sources of iodine. (2)-(vi) Vitamins are the nutrients which are required in small quantities.
