Regular walks can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, strokes, diabetes, high blood pressure, bowel cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, osteoporosis and arthritis, to mention just a few ailments. What’s more, walking minimizes the risk of joint pains or aches that other forms of exercise like running are likely to cause. Walking is also a great antidote to stress, anxiety and depression. Not surprising at all, for endorphin, a natural painkiller and relaxant, is released into our bloodstream every time we take a walk – inducing a feeling of well-being and positivity.

What might it be like if you truly felt ‘vibrant’ and ‘alive’ not just occasionally, but throughout your life – decade after decade! The catalyst that propels most of us towards healthy living could be a major one like the diagnosis of a life-threatening illness, or as minor as the passing remark of a stranger. Nevertheless, when the right conditions prevail, seeds of change germinate in all of us sooner or later, and we prepare ourselves for the road to health. 1.Change your diet - To begin with stop eating white flour. That includes rumali roti, naan, white bread and all other foods made from maida. It is a depleted food. It borrows more nutrients from your body in order to get metabolised. Switch to wholewheat bread instead of white bread, brown rice instead of white rice, soya milk instead of whole milk. Snack on sprouts, or roasted whole channa instead of farsan and fried snacks. Eat whole fruits instead of juice concentrates. Eat whole grains like jowar, bajri, naachini and whole pulses. 2. Detoxify regularly - inner cleansing or detoxification is a process of clearing toxins from the body thereby cleansing it of mucus and congestion. It makes you feel energised, light and revitalized. It is as important as an overall lifestyle change and needs specific dietary changes. 3. Get in shape - Eat food with a new approach. Look at its nutrient density rather than its caloric value. 4. Control stress - It begins with the mind. A youthful state has more to do with what’s going on in your mind than with what’s going on in your body. Each one of us participates consciously or unconsciously in creating our own illnesses. Your attitude towards life shapes your health and looks. 5. Nourish your relationships to stay healthy - Try to develop loving relationships with your family, friends, spouse, pets – everyone! Love is rejuvenating. It makes life meaningful. It has healing energy. It is a powerful stimulant to the immune system. 6. Stop negative thinking - Negative thoughts make you take negative action, which brings about negative reactions from others. This increases stress in your life. Negative thinking can make you depressed and look old. 7. Stop smoking - Stub out that cigarette! This is probably the single best thing you can do to stay young and healthy.

An organic diet is not just about nutrition, it is the art of eating. It reflects your attitude to life and to the world, because good food sustains life and bad food kills. For healthy growth, we need pure food. Organic food is safe, pure, more nutritious, environment friendly, protects against diseases, and maintains peace of mind. A pure diet fosters purity of mind, body and soul. Every religious text advocates that to keep the body in good health is a duty, for otherwise we will not be able to trim the lamp of wisdom and keep our mind strong and clear. All our food is made with healthy oils that contain no trans-fat.

When it comes to food, we have come full circle. The pillars of our traditional cuisine are today hailed as miracle foods. Recent research now proves that these traditional stalwarts boost memory, improve concentration, restore physical performance, increase immunity and reverse disease. Here is the list of miracle foods that have made a big difference to our life: 1. Fruits 2. Leafy greens 3. Flax seeds 4. Whole grains 5. Betel leaf 6. Olive oil 7. Ghee 8. Seeds 9. Spices 10. Nuts 11. Vegetables 12. Water 13.

As adults with our own homes and choices before us, especially with the introduction of a plethora of western style foods, life has become complicated, as we are exposed to innumerable temptations. However, each bite of these delectable morsels takes away some of your health. We do not seem to understand that what we put into our mouth truly does become us. To sort out the complicated issue of what is good for us and what is not, along came the dieticians and nutritionists, creating more confusion. No longer was food just an apple, carrot, or rice. It was now calories, proteins, carbs, fats, vitamins, minerals, trace elements, fibre, enzymes, antioxidants, etc. The result: we have stopped using our instinct. Food hysteria is at its peak. Every corner we turn has a pack of biscuits staring at us. Every nook has chips begging to be eaten. From a country that ate red rice, whole wheat rotis, lentils, jaggery sweets, sea salt (Gandhiji walked the Dandi march for it), rock salt, ghani oil, we have become the land of white bread, white rice, refined sugar, refined oil, refined salt and biscuits. The poor sadly emulate us. No one is telling them the truth. Consciousness is requiring us to be attentive, alert, aware, and open to the needs and challenges of the hour. Not possible, if one does not have the energy or one’s mind is not clear or one is plagued with any number of ailments. It is not about what system one follows. No ‘ism’ is in question here. It is not about vegetarianism, veganism, or fruitarianism. It matters only if we eat to sustain the life within us. If not, we stuff ourselves, become foodies, or make such an issue of the dos and don’ts of the various ‘isms’ that it overtakes our life. Let your appetite/hunger guide you. It is a body signal for nutrients. Cells want food they will recognise. Not anything in the name of food. Make your choices and preferences from an entire range of natural foods. We have the greatest variety of traditional whole foods, Ayurvedic herbs, and spirulina, which fits the bill of a New (old but revived) Age whole food. SIGNATURE SANDWICHES (add a cup of soup for only Rs.60) All sandwiches served with side salad and country potatoes. We use healthy multi-grain bread and unprocessed cheese.

The elusive Omega-3 is abundantly available in walnuts and flax seeds, so vegetarians need not despair. Small things added daily in our food improves our health tremendously. A recent study from the American College of Cardiology has suggested that among Indian heart patients, almost every second has high blood pressure, every fourth has diabetes, and every fifth has plaque deposits in his/her arteries. Omega-3 plays a vital role in improving these health issues. Good sources of Omega-3 are walnuts, and oily fish. Cheaper sources are flax seeds (called alsi in local stores) and chia. But their consumption should be moderate since they add calories.
