Child's health is our wealth

Yes, 'Health is Wealth' is applicable to one and all...then why the title 'Child's health is our wealth'

An adult's body reacts to junk food and we are aware of all the health related facts. But children are mesmerised by advertisements and peer pressure and also their body doesn't rebel like ours

This post is about my experiences with food  and my body. And also as a mother to my two children

Way back 1998, I joined a spiritual course called SSY conducted by RSVK. It is a 14 days course where in we were made aware of our physical and mental body and the spirit within us.

We were asked to experiment our diet by maintaining a raw food vegetarian diet for those 14 days. And we were told to watch our excretions - both urine and stools.

It was an amazing experience

When I became a mother, when my son was around 1.5 years, I taught him to watch his stools and see whether 'it is good or bad' based on the smell and the texture.

If it was good, he could eat a little snacks. If bad, no snacks... only food which will heal him.

When he was around 2, my mother offered him Laddu. It seems he told her that his stools are not good and so will not take. After a few days, he went to her and told her that he wants Laddu as his stools are better.

Yes, it may not work the same way with all children. My second one is different.

But definitely, it will make them conscious and make them take the right decision.

Also, our body gives us signals through our excretions. If we react to its' signals quickly, we can avoid a lot of diseases.

Do try it with yourself and your family.

Jai Hind ! Vazhga Valamudan !!!
