Accretion beyond the plate - GetBengal Story
In this rapidly changing world convenience foods and packaged snacks make up the majority of the meals we make, once and again we forget the simplicity of nurturing our bodies and minds. Healthy eating is not a habit or a diet; it is a lifestyle or choice to fuel our bodies and minds. Colorful vegetables, fresh fruit, whole grains, nuts, and seeds are not just food, they are vitamins, energy, strength, and stamina. Meals that are prepared mindfully, tastefully, and thoughtfully will energize you for a long day, help concentrate your mind for a lasting period and will keep your spirits high and immunity strong.
The benefits of having healthy foods extend beyond the feeling of fullness you get from having a meal. Having a balanced diet that is rich in vitamins and minerals sustains energy, keeps your brain focused, and maybe even improves your sleeping habits. Eating mindfully reduces the risk of developing chronic diseases and disorders, like diabetes, heart disease and obesity. Over the years, eating this way improves your digestion and metabolism. Small daily changes, like adding one portion of fruit, whole grain to your diets every day, can change the way you feel, think and act in your daily lives.
One of the greatest allies in this opera towards wellness is food. More specifically, whole, real, unprocessed food. These are gifts from nature, food that has nourished humanity for centuries, that will nourish us far beyond our mouths. Pure ghee, is a great example. Generations of tradition and wisdom tell us that ghee is much more than a cooking fat - it is an essential source of vitality. Ghee is full of healthy fats and antioxidants that assist digestion, enhance immunity, and nourish the brain to keep body and mind tight. Pure honey is another wonder of nature. The sweetness of honey is alive with energy, antibacterial properties, and other antioxidants that protect against infections, soothe throats, and help heal and rejuvenate the body. Moong dal, ploughed without preservatives or chemicals, is another old world favourite! Rich in protein, easily-digestible, low on the stove, and an easy on the stomach and often heals digestive problems all together. Of course, we could always go old school and have aam kashundi and aam gur. These can excite our palate and will support digestion, detoxification, and provide energy for long days.When we consume these foods diligently, they serve more than just suppressing hunger; they work like a medicine. They provide us a well-deserved buffer against the everyday stressors, toxins from the environment, and general degradation of modern life. Each bite becomes a repetition of the ritual, a bridge to nature, and a tribute to centuries of culinary knowledge that elucidates just how simple and natural ingredients can change our health, mood, and liveliness.
When we indulge in these natural foods, we are practicing self care. In today's world full of preservatives, additives, and heavily processed foods, using pure and chemical-free ingredients is like restarting your body, healing yourself, converting the energy in your food into energy in your body to thrive authentically. Each bite becomes a mindful celebration of life, reconnecting to nature, to tradition and most importantly, to your own well-being.
Diet is not a trend, it is a vital practice that nourishes, restores, and empowers.Every time when we consume natural foods, we are doing more than feeding our stomachs – we are feeding our possible, strengthening our health and cultivating a life that is lighter, brighter, and truly alive.
