Health is Wealth

Earlier days, when my parents were kids, they told me that on the way back home from school, they would climb trees and eat the fruits which were free of chemical fertilisers and pesticides.

Water was pure and so was air.

With the oncoming of Food technology and industrialisation,  Healthy food has become expensive and Unhealthy food cheap

Let us be aware and support the providers of food so that once again Healthy food is available in abundance and hence cheaper

Social question of a child

Every child has the right to expect peace, prosperity, joy and blissful environment to be born and grow.

It is our duty as adults to provide it for them.

I am reminded of the last conversation between me and my best friend’s son. He is no more with us. But his words still ring my ears...

The topic of our discussion was Academics. He is a topper and had scored very well in his boards. But he refused to join the very reputed Engineering or Medical course and instead decided to study B.Com in a very reputed college.

He told me that he was frustrated to study B.Com too. He told me “Aunty these people have created a mess in the society and want us to study the mess and continue that mess. I am not for it aunty.”

I was awe struck when I realised how mature he was. Truly, our Financial system, Housing system, Education system and all the systems badly need repairs

I told him, “Look here Raffid, your parents are rich and so you can afford to be choosy. But not the other children. I have planned a lot of activities like MyOpenSkool.in, AgriSkool, Nature’s Mothers Connect. Can you support me ?"

For which he agreed with a big smile.

Unfortunately, nature plucked him away and now am left alone, living with his voice.

Am sure he is helping me from where ever he is...

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.
