Staying healthy does not only include diet. It involves the whole lifestyle. So apart from HAVING A HEALTHY DIET one has to concentrate on leading a healthy lifestyle also.

This NEW YEAR I would suggest some most common but most ignored resolutions that will help you to lead a happy positive healthy life.

Find a way to laugh - always find a way to laugh, not sweat the small stuff, say nice words, and value each moment and each conversation. The small words and small moments can have big impact. This will give you a feel good factor.

Create a kinder world - we are so busy trying to figure out how to live longer, be more connected, have cheaper energy, and faster everything, but if we do not build all this around the core of kindness, then none of our success will matter. So make at least one person feel worthy every day.  if people embrace kindness, everything else will follow.

Meditation - One must incorporate at least 10 minutes of meditation into his daily routine at least five days a week. This may amount to 10 minutes of deep breathing exercises, quiet time focused on quieting the mind, progressive muscle relaxation, or any number of meditation techniques. This will also have the secondary benefit of improving sleep.

Scheduling sleep - one must force yourself to shut off digital screens earlier at night, turn down invitations that would keep you out too late, and scheduled naps before your night shifts. Sleep is utmost necessary for a healthy rejuvenation of body & mind.

 Do more travelling - Have fun, enjoy yourselves, distress yourselves to stay positive and fresh. This will keep your body and mind positive and healthy.

Nourish Your Spirit - Your New Year's resolution must be to make more time to nourish your spirit, to be in environments and with people doing things that make you feel good. This will enhance positivity within yourself and keep you happy.

Reset your priorities - The crazy stressful lifestyle of yours and rotating shifts leaves a tendency to have quick foods that are going to give you energy, but it will not give you peace. It will not let you rest. It will not purify your heart, body, mind and soul. So you have to set priorities. What you want this year.

Take time to smell the roses - I realize that we, including me, often get so caught up in the details of life, that we often forget the beauty around us, like a beautiful sunset or amazing flower. I think by increasing our awareness of our surroundings and the beauty therein, it helps us to see the big picture a bit better. Thus inspired by a Gandhi quote: "Be the change you want to see in the world", and hope to live by it a bit more this coming year.

But instead of making new year resolutions, I suggest that you just try to make some small changes aimed at better health on an ongoing basis. At the end of the day, we are all a work in progress.

A VERY HAPPY HEALTHY NEW YEAR 2017

Celebrate Food Day in a Healthy Way
25 October 2016
October 24 is a day to resolve to make changes in our own diets and to take action to solve food-related problems in our communities at the local, state, and national level. In 2016, Food Day has the theme "Toward a Greener Diet." The daily diet in today's fast and corporate lifestyle is contributing to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and other health problems. Eating Real can save your own health and put our food system on a more humane, sustainable path. Celebrate Food: Food is truly amazing. We all know that. So make your next grocery shopping trip more exploratory by asking each member of your family to choose a new fruit or vegetable to try. Plan meals to include these new healthy foods, and use them to spark great conversations about what you're eating. Your dinner table will be full of food, conversation and giggles. Celebrate the People Who Grow and Harvest Local Foods: Local farmers are all around us: in farmers markets, grocery stores, schools and restaurants. When you choose to buy local, you are supporting members of your community. When you dine out, try restaurants that serve local foods and support farmers. Or, celebrate your own green thumb by grabbing a pot, some dirt and seeds, and grow your own food. Fresh herbs are a tasty way to start. Celebrate Cooking: There is nothing like preparing a healthy meal with your own two hands. This is one way we like to teach kids about nutrition. Cooking at home is a great way to get your family interested in trying new healthy foods. Prepare meals at home and you can decrease calorie consumption, reduce stress and save money. If you are adventurous enough to try a new recipe, perhaps try one from a different region of the world (Greek, Thai, German, etc.). The entire family can learn how other cultures eat and celebrate food. Celebrate being active: Encourage one another to get active and move more on a daily basis. This way, you can enjoy the foods and drinks you all love from time to time and balance it out with exercise. Tell 5 friends about Food Day: The success of Food Day lies in people participating in it. Tell your friends and neighbors about it, and mention it on your social networks. Post pictures of the meals you make on Pinterest and Instagram, and share recipes on Facebook and Twitter. Make Food Day so much fun this year that you can't wait until October 24 rolls around again next year. The most important ingredient: The most important ingredient in Food Day is you! Use October 24 to start- or celebrate - eating a healthier diet and putting your family's diet on track. Food Day is not just a day; it's a year-long catalyst for healthier diets and a better food system. Let's use this energy to make a meaningful and long-lasting difference!                                                                                         ~ Dt. Deepalekha Banerjee  
How to prevent Vitamin loss from Vegetables and Fruits
30 December 2017
To prevent losses of natural vitamins from vegetables and fruits try to : Cook vegetables and fruits on steam than boiling If you are cooking vegetables in water, use less amount of water so that there is less wastage and remaining little water can be used as stock in future Prepare meals just before serving them Cook frozen foods without defrosting Prepare salads from freshly cut vegetables to restore vitamin B & C Using copper utensils can cause loss of vitamin C, E & folic acid Always buy fresh vegetables and fruits which can be used within 2-3 days Washing vegetables and fruits for a long time can rinse out vitamin B & C, it is best to wash them under running water using a brush Do not expose milk and dairy products to sunrays. They may lose vitamin A,D & B2 Keep food requiring cooling in a fridge (at a constant temperature of 4 degree centigrade)to prevent its going bad. In case of frozen foods, it is best to keepit under temp -18 degree centigrade. Canned and dry foods must be stored in a cool and dry place. Store vegetables, rice, flour in dark containers because sunrays destroy vitamin B2 in them. Avoid continuous reheating of foods Keep skin on the vegetables and fruits as much as possible Cut vegetables into large pieces to reduce surface area Do not use baking soda to retain color Always cook with a cover so that it lessens the cooking time Eat vegetables and fruits raw whenever possible in salads keeping skins on Do not over-cook the vegetables                                                                              ~ Dt.
