But all vegetables should be consumed raw. Only few are prefered to have raw like sprouts specially.
That's true Sarala, but in the rainy seasons you have to be extra careful, eating raw vegetables is not recommended in this season because of water borne diseases, and also our metabolic rate is reduced so instead of eating raw veggies, they should be lightly cooked. It makes them easier to digest without other problems like acidity, flatulence etc.
Yes ...I heard that grapes are very dangerous if not washed twice as pesticides dont go away easily from its skin..
Grapes,plums,apples all have a layer of pesticide on them and while it is healthy to eat fruits with their skin as and when you can, we have to be very careful.Adding salt to warm water and soaking the fruits or vegetables in them for some time and then wiping them clean with a cotton towel helps ...
:blink: Soaking cut fruits may lose minerals which they have as there are many minerals which are water soluble. :blink:
NO NO NO not cut fruits , the very idea ! the whole fruit ...soak them for a while in luke warm water into which you add some salt and leave it on and then wipe away with cotton towel...
Oh yes that's true we should not cut fruits but should try to eat it with the skin and should clean them thoroughly. :)
The fibre which is very important lies in the skin of fruits.
Yes ! In fact I dont throw skins of any vegetables either.The tough skin of Ridge gourd is slightly fried and made into chutney.The seeds of Paduval( snake gourd) is also ground along with coconut and green chilies made into a green curry .
Snake guard! First time heard this vegetable. Thank you. Yes,Skin of any vegetable should not thrown. My mother too, cook vegetables with skin.

...combined with plenty of water is all that is required to stay fit and healthy..
water is best to live fit and also suggested by doctor that drink at least 5 litres of water daily....................
This quantity differs from doctor to doctor, some say 2 and half liters is good enough and to drink too much water is not good for the system and some advise you to drink more like you say 5 liters ..

As far water is concerned I am okay with 5 lit but exercise and diet are not proper these days. I shall have to reschedule my programs.

I guess it depends on each ones system,I am drinking a lot of warm or hot water these days .I was developing dark circles around my eyes , probably because of all the strain on my eyes and I was advised to drink hot water.Let me see how helpful it is going to be...But I do feel good may be because now I drink more water !

Yes, I prepare a dry roasted type of chutney from ridge gourd skin, its called thecha. I also make chutney from thin, young skin of milk gourd!
Friends now a days people are more concerned regarding their health and diet. The problem is not in the quantity of food we are eating. The problem lies in the way of production and manufacture of food. Bsinessmen are using worst quality raw materials to manufacture edible items. Moreoevr in the whole day work, pollution and stress, we does not get peace and happiness. This makes us feel sick and unhealthy.
balanced diet is necessary to stay healthy and fit.we must avoid oily food and fast food.we must have a glass of milk to have our meals a complete food.and we should drink at least 8 to 10 glass of water every day.and we must have a regular exercise as exercise helps to build our bones and muscles.

Home cooked simple food is the best anytime, since it has no preservatives and also a lot of care goes into preparing it.No doubt we need a change and also a day off from cooking and once in a while , it is good to go out to a restaurant or order a take way..But I too feel that making this a practice is certainly not healthy !
Having more energy giving food at the morning and having normal food at the after noon and having light food at night is good for the health
Yes that's true, like they say eat breakfast like an emperor and lunch lie a king and dinner like a beggar. In fact most dieticians feel that we should eat smaller meals more often at 3 -4 hours intervals ...5 meals a day are recommended and I feel this also makes better sense for those who are planning to lose weight..

Yes this is true but when I tried this I cannot make it under control of my mouth.
