Healthy Diet and it’s importance

Healthy diet is of special importance in today’s world where people go after fast food and spend a large share of their income for treating the diseases that they acquire due to unhealthy eating habits.
A sudden change to your  diet may not be practical. I agree that the delay in accepting healthy meals and healthy snacks as part of your diet, will expose you to many life threatening diseases.

The stages of healthy diet

• Fasting
• Sticking on to Healthy meal and healthy snacks.

Once you decide to switch on to a healthy life style through healthy food habits the first step would be a proper cleaning of your body and flushing out the existing toxins. By doing a fasting for a moderate to long term you can get rid of the toxins that was adherent in your intestines for years.

Fasting should be well backed by naturopathic principles to achieve detoxification and elimination processes than takes place during a fasting to be done at the finest levels. Once fasting is over you get detoxified. But if you are getting on to the same old life style of frozen foods, chips, unhealthy snacks, fried items, artificially flavored soft drinks and food that will definitely put your body to get used to the same old stale food which it was used to before fasting.

What are healthy meals?

They should provide you necessary nutrients. Healthy meal is not a bland diet. It’s scientifically proven that spices if taken in limited quantities not only give flavor to your food but also protection against various cancers. Now let me tell you about one such healthy meal. Minced soya curry

Soya chunks should be after soaking in water for 4 hours.  Squeeze out the water content. Cook the soya chunks which are marinated with one teaspoon of meat masala and salt.
Take a pan. Add a little olive oil just enough to sauté ginger garlic followed by chopped onion and tomato. Then add the meat masala. Sauté it well. Add the minced soya. Add sufficient water and a little salt. Once it boils and you get thick gravy take it out of flame. You can have this with wheat made roties/ tortillas / rice or whole wheat bread.
