Honey up your diet

The hunt for a balanced nutritional diet is a fad these days. Each and every one of us, want to eat healthily but don’t know how? We can’t resist those ever delicious and oily and unhealthy food snacks. But we still want to somehow inculcate the discipline of healthy eating in ourselves. That’s the paradox in which we live in.

Add to this the environment we live in. We exhale copious amounts of dirt, smoke, sand, airborne chemicals, which all go inside our body and cause a lot of harm. They affect our immune system and cause harm to us. Then look at the food we eat. Almost all food grown today is heavily loaded with insecticides, fungicides, fertilizer and urea that stick with the crops. We are actually consuming all that chemical load.  It goes into our system and creates an imbalance of chemicals already in our body, which causes so many diseases and problems. How can we remedy this? How can we control all this?

It is difficult I agree, but not impossible. A healthy diet can go a long way with improving the nutritional value of our food, which in turn can help us combat this external consumption of chemicals. For you see, those maybe out of your control, but what you choose to eat is definitely under your control. We are consuming so much refined, over processed food that by the tie the food reaches our tummy, there is no nutrition left in it.  It's just an empty food, often laced with preservatives and more chemicals to last it longer.  That is not at all good news for our immune system.  We have to get rid of unhealthy eating habits.

A honey diet is one of the ways to get that right dietary balance. A high sugar diet can be harmful and can cause various ailments in the long run. It also interferes with your digestive system. A diet which has honey in it can help you in a good way.  It has the advantage of being natural. It doesn't require a truckload of fertilizer or chemicals to boost production of honey. It is produced in the most natural way possible. Which in turn is good for us. Also, it has a soothing effect. You take honey as it is, sore throatjust a spoon full of it, you will realize what a soothing effect it has on you.

It has its medicinal effects too. Today, we all are battling one ailment after another, honey is a natural medicine that can cure aa sore throatand prevent certain illnesses. Top that up with the multitude of creative ways you can use your honey in your day to day cooking. From tea, to smoothies to desserts, you can even use honey in your main course.

So honey up your diet for that nutritional zing in your food.

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

Did You Ever Love Me? Book Review: Can Rithvik singh turn heartbreak into a homecoming?

Did You Ever Love Me? by Rithvik Singh is a tender contemporary poetry collection about love, heartbreak, longing, self worth and learning to let go. Its greatest strength is emotional accessibility: Singh writes directly to readers who feel intensely and care deeply. The collection offers comfort without pretending heartbreak is simple, though its simplicity may occasionally feel familiar to seasoned poetry readers. Did you Ever Love Me? Have you ever loved someone so completely that, after they left, you were left wondering whether they had ever understood what they had been given? Not merely whether they loved you, but whether they ever noticed how much you loved them, how much patience you offered, how many small things you remembered, or how often you chose to stay when leaving might have been easier. There is a particular loneliness in that question because it rarely arrives at a dramatic moment. More often, it finds you while you are doing something completely ordinary. Yo...
