Oil Free Moong Dal - add body-builder foods to your mealtimes!
A regular staple in Indian homes, doing dals oil free almost feels impossible. But it is possible, and in fact that's how our ancestors cooked mostly - without refined oil. We can only assure you taste wise there is no compromise, and health wise its so much better, and lighter for your body. Here the recipe soaks the daal for sometime, and cooks it in open (the traditional) way. Of Course this retains the nutritional profile of the legume (lentil) being cooked but if you in a hurry, use the usual pressure cooker. However, do give the traditional process a try… you may just end up using this way each time you cook, with a little bit of planning.
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

Hi. Our body speaks to us through signals. A migraine is the body's way of telling you to slow down. It never happens all of a sudden, no illness/disease happens all of a sudden. It's only when we miss out listening to our body, that it is forced to give us bigger & bigger signals. It happened with me in 2014. I was getting health issues one after the other & each was bigger than the previous one. But once I understood the body's self-healing powers & nourished myself with good food, air and thoughts, everything became ok. I always lived with a nagging headache issue, but now it has vanished. So where did I slow down? Two places - 1. foods - Eat easy to digest Natural Foods so that the body gets its deserved time of rest, else it is always busy in digestion. 2. thoughts - I worked on my stress levels, made a conscious effort to engage in joyous activities, used a few techniques like journalling, visualisations, affirmations. You must read the blog Understand body's natural healing mechanism, especially the videos mentioned at the end of the blog. It will help u understand how ur migraine is not 'sudden' but a result of your past actions. As far as meds are concerned, I think the answer lies in ur question itself :-). Address the root cause which I mentioned before. I used to take headache tablets quite frequently before, but then I solved the root cause!! If you would like to know more, pls msg me one on one through my profile.
Hi all! Am a little confused about the right way of consuming nuts. While nuts have great health benefits, what I have seen in my family is that nuts are primarily consumed in winters or soaked to eat in summers. Now, is it really advisable to consume nuts, without soaking in the scorching heat of Delhi?

Walk to Freedom
Inside an average home, we take around a thousand steps a day to move about, which is a good 0.76 kilometre. A walk to the neighbourhood shop, say 500 metres away, will approximately take 650 steps to go one way and will be a trip total of around 1300 steps. Walking happens this simply! In our lifetime we connect to mother Earth with our feet, sharing our worries and thoughts with her and getting gently nourished back; making it truly a WALK TO FREEDOM. In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks - John Muir It is the biggest joy to watch our children take their first ‘baby' steps. The little falls that they ignore and their natural taking to standing up and trying to walk, truly define us as the most unique species that evolved – one that would walk on this planet. A simple walk is a body ability that is a superb exercise in itself and is loaded with benefits. Yet we often discount the greatness of walking despite its simplicity and low in

Do you eat three hours before bedtime? If you eat just before bedtime, body is busy digesting food and it may be uncomfotable to get into sleep mode. Are you on your electronic device before sleep? The blue light is known to interfere in sleep patterns. So try to be off your gardgets atleast an hour before you sleep. Sleep on time. Body likes regularity. Offload your worries by journaling before bedtime for a restful sleep. My grandmom applies some sesame oil to her feet and covers with socks before sleeping. Try it, it may help you Hope you feel well soon.
Why do kids catch a cold on season change? How is this linked? My child has been running around with minimal woolens in peak winters. But just when it became rainy after the bright winter spell, he fell sick. Why does this happen?
PSYsolution by Kalyan

Nobody catches cold! The occurrence of Flu, as I understand, that you are mentioning here, is due to TOXAEMIA*. When body gets enervated due to many reasons it starts accumulating TOXINS within the body. Naturally, the body triggers healing crises to clear the toxins accumulated within the body. FLU is an execution of HEALING CRISES* to clear the toxin. While maintaining the body temperature also eats up our vitality. SEASONAL CHANGE does affect on our vitality due its change. Our vitality starts accommodating with the change and sometimes gets enervated. Since the children havea lot of conserved vitality within their body triggers FLU, frequently to throw the toxins. It is a great action by the body, we should acknowledge it! On the other hand, we need to check the ENERVATION* or the overspend of VITALITY in our children to avoid such discomforting situations. THE CONSISTENT VITALITY CONSERVATION happens through these lifestyle choices, on a regular basis: RIGHT FOOD HABITS, BALANCED PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES INCLUDING QUALITY SLEEP and STRESS-FREE MENTAL ENVIRONMENT.

Can my diet have an impact on my Virtigo episodes?
PSYsolution by Kalyan
08:28 AM | 20-01-2019
Thanks for your question! Let us understand what is vertigo, first! It is a sense of loss of balance. Commonly known as giddiness, also! Why do we lose balance? Balance is an effect of free flow of blood within the body. If the FREE FLOW is obstructed, the balance may get affected. How the free flow of the blood gets affect in the body? If the blood is toxin-laden, its flow is affected. The toxins is retained in the blood, when it is not eliminated on a regular basis. The toxin elimination gets affected due to lack of conserved VITALITY within the body. We have defined quantum of VITALITY, uniquely, within the body. If we overspend our VITALITY, we lose the QUOTA OF CONSERVED VITALITY within the body. This state is called ENERVATED STATE. In enervated state, our elimination gets affected. When we adopt CONSISTENT CONSERVATION OF VITALITY, our elimination gets restored. Blood gets purified, then. Vertigo goes away, then! THE CONSISTENT VITALITY CONSERVATION happens through these lifestyle choices, on a regular basis: RIGHT FOOD HABITS, BALANCED PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES INCLUDING QUALITY SLEEP and STRESS-FREE MENTAL ENVIRONMENT. Hence yes, your diet is an important part in this process. Consumption of more and more fruits will restore the VITALITY CONSERVATION, to start with. Thank you...

My 4 year old son is snoring a lot at night. There is no congestion or nose block. He also tends to breathe from mouth. Overall he is sleeping fine and no obvious change in day time activities; at times gets restless at night. Should I be worried?
PSYsolution by Kalyan
09:33 AM | 18-01-2019
To start with, I must say, the answer to “Should I be worried?” is - DEFINITELY NOT! Worrying does not lead us to solve anything! Snoring is due to obstruction, for sure. The narration of “no congestion or nose block” ,needs a relook. Congestion will be cleared by the body when it gets enough CONSERVED VITALITY. More and more conservation of VITALITY for the child can be possible, following ways... Be there, when your child is restless to soothe! Ensure ample natural food consumption, primarily fruits. Since the child is active, nothing to do at this point. The child should be playful and active. Keep the mental environment, joyful,for the baby. Thank you...

Hi everyone! My husband is taking some medicine for his eye problem and as a known side effect his potassium levels drop. As result he gets numbness in his limbs. Can someone suggest how to handle this?
PSYsolution by Kalyan
09:31 AM | 18-01-2019
The LAW OF UNITY is the answer! What is our objective? To get rid of the SYMPTOMS or to address the CAUSE, which leads to the removal of SYMPTOMS, may be slowly but surely! We need to dive deep to explore the cause of the problem that the individual is suffering from. If we go dialectically finding out the CAUSE, we shall find the lack of Nature-synchronous lifestyle causing excess depletion of the VITALITY is the primary cause. This ENERVATION leads the individual to a TOXAEMIC state due to lack vitality in proper ELIMINATION. The accumulated toxin is the SINGLE REASON of all our wellness problems. This eye problem is not a out of scope of this. The solution to the TOXAEMIA is consistent CONSERVATION OF VITALITY. With the raised levels of CONSERVED VITALITY, the individual certainly expels the accumulated toxins. Eventually the symptoms go away. THE VITALITY CONSERVATION happens through consistent RIGHT FOOD HABITS, BALANCED PHYSICAL ACTIVITY INCLUDING QUALITY SLEEP and STRESS-FREE MENTAL ENVIRONMENT. Thank you...

Hi when i am on a raw diet of fruits and vegetables. My stool comes out with difficulty. Is this constipation? And what is the remedy for same.. When i eat a diet made with cooked vegetables with rice or wheat i never face any difficulty. Why is it so?
Asha Shivaram
07:28 PM | 09-01-2019
I am not sure about the answer to the first question. It depends on how many days you started a raw diet and how many days you have been raw. Initially it will be difficult till your gut adjusts to the new food. For the second question, grains have hard to digest fibre which irritates the colon. It tries to throw out such food faster. Please observe that on the days you eat wheat and rice, elimination may be faster but you will feel sluggish and there will be a feeling of heaviness in the body
Hi, I am a father of two. My son who studies in class 10 has a hectic study schedule. He studies till late in the night and hence ends up munching on knick-knacks mostly junk. Can anyone suggest some healthy alternatives?
Smitha Hemadri
04:40 PM | 12-12-2018
It really helps to clean the kitchen off junk. Imo kids will eat whats provided to them as options. When I started healthy eating habits for my kids who are now 13 and 10, we stopped biscuits, chips, chocolates etc. We are also vegans and hence most of the junk has milk powder in some form. Since we also focus on eating healthy, i avoid all foods with preservatives and additives, GMOs, vegetable oils, flavors, colors in them. So this means, i get to do more work in the kitchen to substitute their needs. Wellcure has healthy recipes. Having oranges / bananas / smoothies in the fridge helps the kids to say awake. If they want something savory, make a salad with some chat masala lime and pepper with some pieces of dates. Some baked potato chips with coconut oil smeared on them / baked potatoes with salt , italian seasoning and pepper , channa steamed with some coconut lime and salt are some healthy options. It all comes down to extra work for parents..so imo that cannot be helped. We must embrace the work for the health of the kids. Over time it becomes a habit for the entire family to eat healthy.
Hi Friends! I am trying to make lifestyle changes bit by bit. Had a confusion regarding cookware. I have completely removed all aluminium cookware from my kitchen. But am not sure if anodized cookware (I am using Hawkins) is safe or not. Please suggest!
Anchal Kapur
07:56 PM | 11-01-2019
What I understand is that aluminium is bad because it leaches into the food kept / cooked in it. With anodized, it is said that very less aluminium leaches in only in small quantities. That's what the supporters / sellers of anodized cookware say. But when it comes to such things, I prefer to keep it simple. How do I know who's right & who's wrong? When it comes to stainless steel, there seem to be no conflicting views. No one says steel is bad. So I would recommend you switch to steel or earthen cookware for your kitchen. No plastic or aluminium or non stick etc.

I know someone (a close relative) who had gestational diabetes with her firstborn. She managed it well with diet and exercise. Infact, during her second pregnancy, she did not get Gestational diabetes. Few things that I think worked in her case were - reducing simple carbs, consuming more wholegrains, including healthy sources of protein and staying active.
