Time to rethink about what we eat

Yet another weekend… Time to make plans... Actually we invest entire weekday to come up with the best plan for weekends… And the most important part of the plan is where to go what to EAT – Is there a new restaurant to explore?- Where can I get the best non veg?-Ever shown so much Enthusiasm towards healthy eating ( Except a few)

Most of us know it very well that food industry is humongous- from packaged foods to frozen ones-we know, it just fills our tummy and it is not healthy… Sadly in India some of the restaurants and street foods are not as healthy as they look... We never examine the ‘behind the scenes’ that happens within their kitchen.
Could you count the number of people in your family facing any major health issue –heart issue, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, cancer, Alzheimer's, cognitive dysfunction, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis etc. Now count the amount they spend on treating it. Basically the medical industry is in profit because of the unhealthy habits of certain entities in food industry.
Recent news reported a customer got an unwanted surprise at a KFC store on the Northern Rivers. Alongside the secret herbs and spices, she claimed her dinner from the Casino outlet was also smothered in something else - maggots.
However that is still one of the hit places among the youth.
Ever thought a healthy lifestyle and a change in diet could cure you from certain diseases and help in keeping the ones you already have under control? You might have – but you are mentally not prepared to eat ‘not so tasty’ food as you are habituated to scrumptious food items. This is the battle you have to fight. Invest today and enjoy tomorrow. Don’t jeopardize your future in enjoying the present.
Read a book named “The China Study”-by Dr. Campbell, some of facts (because it is proved through experiment conducted over 10 years) were astonishing. Would like to share a few of them with you to know your thoughts on the same.
  •  A diet with as low animal protein intake as possible will greatly reduce your risk for all kinds of cancer, heart disease, auto-immune disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity, and many other “diseases of affluence”.
  •  Sunlight is responsible for, among other things, converting calcium into usable food for the bones and body. So if you're in-taking plenty of calcium through plants, but aren't getting sunlight, then you aren't getting the full benefits from the calcium.
  •  Eating a Whole Foods, Plant Based diet is important because it is rich in fiber, iron, good fats, carbohydrates, minerals, and micro-nutrients that can't be replicated in a lab.
  • Good Carbohydrates (from fruits and vegetables) is responsible to decrease blood cholesterol which is linked to an exponential reduction the above mentioned ailments.
  • Low protein diets have the ability to decrease enzyme activity by 76%. Enzymes enable carcinogens (cancer-causing agents) to convert normal cells into cancerous cells. Even if carcinogens are present in the body, they(Low animal protein diet) are less likely to infect the body’s cells because there is around 76% less enzyme activity on low protein diets.

To refrain from boring you I have not included the experiments which could change the way you see food. Refer “The China Study” to find out the experiments conducted behind these conclusions and many other astonishing facts.
PS : Bill Clinton, former President, even cited the book in explaining how he lost 24 pounds by converting to a plant-based diet in hopes of improving his heart health. The president gave up dairy, switching to almond milk, and says he lives primarily on beans and other legumes, vegetables and fruit, although he will, on rare occasions, eat fish.

The choice is yours...

A love so miserable

1. A relationship without commitment. Exhausted, she came after work, lied down and drifted in her thoughts, a smile found her. When would the time arrive when she will come home to him, take her into his arms and melt the tiredness of the day.  'Tomorrow' she said to herself 'I will see him tomorrow'. With that assurance she went to freshen up waiting for call to arrive. By the time she came out, she checked her phone to see if he had called. He did. She hurried to the next room away from her parents. She called back. It was busy. Her heart was heavy to have missed the call. She lied on the bed in the dark waiting for a call back. She waited. She messaged 'Your phone is busy'. She drifted to sleep for sometime. The phone buzzed. She hurriedly checked. 'I will call you'. She knew she can go back to read as it will take time for the phone to ring again. 'Why can't he spare 5 mins for me when I can wait 30 mins for his call?', 'why do I wai...

Are you a Responsible Traveler???

My First Blog! To begin with this would be my inaugural blog on blogger. So let me tell you a little about myself - that I am on an experiment of discovering a new side of myself i.e exploring a thing called “Travelling” – Something I wished to do way back but could not. Recently I went on an expedition to visit a beautiful place with my childhood friends. I visited Andaman. One thing I learnt from my previous travel experience is the "company" while travelling is very important. We were amazed to witness aesthetic beauty of nature while covering 3 islands in Andaman.

Big Fat Wedding = Big Fat Nothing. Is It?

They say marriages are made in heaven, well then why is it necessary to prove it to hundreds of witnesses. Indian marriages are nothing less compared to Award shows, just that only 2 families are gonna take care of the cost of all the guests till the event ends. This beautiful ceremony has turned into business for many people. The heart aches to see entire life savings being spent for this one event to please OTHER people. A fact – Weddings/reception are for the guests to enjoy while the couple (for whom it is arranged) become “madam tussauds wax statues” who just solve the purpose of getting the pictures right. After interacting with many family members who have hosted the weddings for their dear ones, my conclusion is – IT IS TOUGH – to host it – to please hundreds of guests – to make sure everything runs smoothly – to run million errands to ensure the guests don’t get disappointed with the arrangements – Aren’t we forgetting something – what about the couple? – well, they ...
