Health is Wealth

Lately our family has been becoming health freaks. I think it's one of the side effects of having babies in our home.

It’s almost as if we are turning away a few decades of innovation in cooking and going back to old days, when people didn’t have all the variety and choices that we have today. Here are few examples of changes we have made to our lifestyle :

1. We try to eat organic sources of food as much as possible. In olden days, that was the only means – Organic. Now with mass production techniques in place, organic foods are luxury.

2. Multigrain whenever possible. We eat only brown rice.

3. We are actually thinking about throwing away our non stick cookware and switching to cast iron or copper cookware. There are lots of reports on the voodoos of using nonstick cookware.

4. We are trying to stay away from processed food – Trying to eat as much home cooked as possible.

I have even heard of instances where some babies are being brought up with only organic foods. With the incidence of diseases like diabetes, cancer etc. increasing at an alarming rate, I think these changes should help.

On the other hand there are skeptics that say ‘Life is too short to be spent worrying’. To them I say ‘health is wealth’.
