Facing sleep issues? Soak your feet in water and relax
A 101 things to do everyday; we are all the time playing catch up never realizing how the day went by. However, everyone needs a little ‘me' time. Soak your feet in some warm water, close your eyes and relax with some music – and you have a spa treatment at home! Every day, from morning to night, we are always running around, trying to accomplish one thing or the other. Our body works best when it is in a relaxed mode. Hence, take out time during the day to drop off everything you are doing & rest for a few minutes every few hours. Lie down on the bed or on the floor with your eyes closed. Try not to think anything. Don't talk to anyone, just be with yourself. You can play some soothing music in the background. Soaking your feet in water is also a great way to unwind & relax. Our feet are connected to every part of the body & the healing power of water brings relaxation and draws out toxins of the body through sweat glands in the feet. This
Microgreens - Add these wonderful little veggies to your diet
What are microgreens? Microgreens, tiny versions of leafy vegetables and herbs. They are in between sprouts and a baby green. They have been described as healthier than full-sized greens. They are also more expensive. Microgreens, also called “vegetable confetti”, are grown in a similar way to regular vegetables and other plants. But they are harvested when the plant is no taller than 5cm, which takes about 1-3 weeks from when the seeds are sown. Source of concentrated nutrients We all know greens are rich in minerals which are necessary for different functions in the body. Sufficient minerals can help lessen your risk for cancer, risk of stroke, and improve your energy. Microgreens are clearly more nutrient dense, meaning typically they are more concentrated sources of vitamins and minerals. And like the full sized versions, microgreens are equally low in calories. New flavours to experiment with Microgreens can be considered as herbs, and the leafy ve
The Art of Chewing
Food is the gift of nature to us. Not only does it give us nutrition but also the energy required to perform our daily activities. We all have heard many a time that food is essential for survival. This has led to many people following diet charts, in which they include healthy meals in their routine. However, how many times have you thought about the process of eating too? Today, we are so consumed by everything around us that we barely have time to sit down in peace and chew our food properly. Chewing is not just the pre-requisite in the eating process but also has its importance in the world of nutrition. The beginning of food synthesis starts from ingesting food, which has a direct link with chewing. Ancient wisdom reaffirms "You are what you eat." This means that our present state of being, our emotions, personal and professional relations, even our success in life can be attributed to the simple task of chewing food properly. Thus, chewing has been considered as a

Eat RAW food to HEAL!
Are we DESIGNED to eat raw LIVING FOOD? I mean, think about it, could it be that we were meant to simply pick and eat? That there was no mistake after all? That we are in fact perfect? All of us? How our body processes food? Well, we are all human beings, born with identical chemistry, the same organs, glands, and systems. Our glands and bodily functions are all the same. On the inside, we do not differ at all. Every human baby will drink their mother's milk if available, and if not, they will still be given the same formula to drink. If we look at nature, all species eat the same within their kind, their species. Every lion has the same diet, and every gorilla does too. This is because what we thrive on eating, is what we have been designed to eat. We are designed to eat raw fruits and vegetables, and this truly is our natural diet. We are tropical species, yes, we are primates. I like to simply call it food. What is the debate about different type of fo
COVID-19 Pandemic - Making The Best Of The Worst Of Times
The global health crisis brought on to us by the COVID-19 virus has many perspectives. If you did not use extended lockdowns to introspect, analyze your life and the world around you, you are “Vimoodha” - not just a fool, but a colossal one. I call it a colossal compassion crisis. Because we, humans have endlessly and ruthlessly exploited natural environmental resources, animals, and each other to the point where our actions have boomeranged on us. It is also the law of nature or call it Karma - as you sow so shall you reap. We have brought upon ourselves our own misfortunes. Now Nature has pushed us back from all spheres of life - work, entertainment, education, and others. So that Nature and animals can get a breather and reclaim their lost, encroached upon spaces. Many people are still in bewilderment at why the pandemic? Please see how the collective actions of the masses have brought forth this crisis and examine your actions, choices - how good or bad t
White sugar – A quick roundup through FAQs
Everyone takes sugar in their tea, milk, biscuits, dessert, sweets, chocolates, nimboo paani, etc. There are very few who don't relish sweet taste. But is sugar a natural food? What is it about sugar that makes it a culprit for so many health conditions? Find the answer by understanding what exactly sugar is and how it impacts our body. We also explore the variants of sugar and healthier alternatives of it. 1. Does our body need sugar? Our body needs energy to perform all its functions and sugar is one of the sources of energy. Having said so, the sugar our body needs is not the white-refined sugar that we commonly presume! Any food item that we eat, irrespective of whether it tastes sweet or not, is turned into glucose in our body. Glucose is a form of sugar and it is this sugar that our body needs. 2. If body needs sugar, shouldn't refined white sugar be a good way to get it? Image credit: Pixabay Refined sugar is a highly processed food item, nutrients k

Do You Need To Eat Oil To Get Oil?

Surround Yourself with the Goodness of Essential Oils

Do You Know The Why & How Of Sprouting?
Sprouts are alive, whole, living foods.

UNO-UNION-UNISON THEORY
Each organism is programmed by nature to REPAIR, REPRODUCE & REACT. These three capabilities are executed by each organism in their species-specific paths. Which means the REPAIRING happens uniquely, in connection to the maintenance of the universal homeostasis. In the process of repairing, the individual may experience disease or death. But in both, it is nothing but repairing. When it is beyond the possibility to bring back the homeostasis within an individual, it chooses to perish its body and maintains the universal homeostasis. We call that decision as death. The species-specific REPRODUCTIVE execution means, a monkey will not be able to produce a dog, naturally! The species-specific REACTION execution also differs from species to species. A bird will react differently to the same stimulus compared to how a snack reacts to that. But everyone, in general, is equipped with these three capabilities, as a program. This is an unarguable universal fact.
Guardians of the human body – Microbiome Part 3
De-weeding our garden – Live dirty Obviously, we did something wrong to get to a state of increase in the number of people with diseases today, as seen in Part 2. Once the causes are known and we reverse those conditions, the body heals itself to enable the growth of a good MB (microbiome) diversity. As in most manifestations of dysbiosis, repopulation of healthy bacteria is the key and this improves autoimmune conditions too. The body can never fight back and attack itself unless the balance is restored. A healthy GUT harbours a healthy MB (microbiome). Exposures to natural elements – We live in a germ pool. We inhale them as we breathe and talk. They come in via all the orifices of the body, and yet some people are untouched and some suffer the consequences. It all depends on how strong the body is to fight them off. Babies pretty much put everything in their mouth as it is nature's law to introduce them to all kinds of pathogens. Are we h
