A really nice read, Indira. I have become so mindful of what I make and serve, especially for the kids. Its so easy to get take out, but the feeling it leaves you with later on is so NOT worth it. Its better to whip up something healthy at home, like sabji-roti and not feel so blah and guilty after wards.

Hi Indira,
U come up with very nice and useful articles. I love u’r website and love u’r recipes.It will be nice if u can put a category of healthy recipes for adults and kids in breakfast, lunch and dinner too which can be quick and easy too. That will motivate more of u’r website readers to get eating healthy stuff too.

well written Indira, I know first hand how hard it is to give healthy breakfast which is quick and easy to kids and trust me its one challenge, As much as we need to make a smart choice I think food manufactures also have a social responsibility to think and create healthy and nutritious foods and not just profits .Habits are cultivated early on and its a uphill task to imbibe them on kids .

Great post!

You are absolutely right when you say “Choose from the bottom of the food chain – concentrate on vegetables, fruits and whole grains, etc.”

Hi Indira

This is sound advice and makes sense. It reminds me of a certain Dr. R.L. Alsaker and his book Maintaining Health which he wrote somewhere at the end of the 18th century. He describes the effects of eating over processed foods, as well as too much and too rich a diet. Basically in a nutshell he says most sicknesses are caused by bad diet.

I also notice that on the days I eat perfectly (low calorie, healthy yet filling ones, in small portions), I tend to be very active and indulge successfully all kinds of myriad interests! At the end of the day, there is this immense satisfaction of having used a day to its utmost potential! Great message Indira
