Tip Of The Day

According to Ayurveda, drinking water at the end of a meal is wrong.

It destroys the jathar agni (the fire that is present in the stomach and that which facilitates digestion).

When drinking water after a meal, it rots the food inside the system and doesn’t digest.

Body Parts Remind Us How To Live

We have two eyes and one tongue,

Which means we need to look twice and talk once.

We have two ears and one mouth,

Which means we need to listen more than we talk.

We have two hands and one stomach,

Which means we need to work twice as much as we eat.

We have two major brain parts – left and right and one heart,

So we can think twice, but love only once.

Amazing how our body parts remind us how to live …

Lets try to live it that way and see the difference…

I hope you all are eating your veggies everyday as well.

If not, here’s a way you can get yourself and your friends and family to eat more veggies -

1 – make half your plate of vegetables at every meal

2 – mix up the veggies – raw, cooked, canned, frozen, fresh, whole, cut

3 – start off your meal with a salad packed with veggies, this will also help from controlling your hunger and from over eating

4 – always have raw veggies ready to snack on – bell peppers, carrots, celery, etc

Organic Is Best For Kids

I read a great article by Dr. Alan Greene, a pediatrician and he explains why organic is the best choice we can make for our families. A poll out last week from the Organic Trade Association found a sharp decrease in parents who say price is a key factor limiting their organic purchases.  “Parents in charge of the household budget recognize the benefits of organic, and they’re willing to pay a little more to know that they are giving their families the highest-quality and most healthy products being offered in their local store,” said the trade group’s Laura Batcha.

By definition, organics cannot be grown from GMO seeds.  Organic agriculture does not use synthetic pesticides and our organic farmers work hard to avoid contamination from GMOs.  Lets take back control of our food!

Organic is best for kids -

1 – children fed an organic diet have much lower levels of high risk insecticides

2 – choosing organic food reduces the health risks of toxic pesticides by 94%

3 – The American Academy of Pediatrics warned about children’s exposure to pesticides

4 – organic dairy has higher levels of heart healthy omega 3 fatty acids

Organic is one of the best choice we can make for the health of our families.
