Due to the fashion of modern time Indian method of Healthy Cooking fast Losing its Identity

Indian women are considered as goddess and goddess Annapurna mother has blessed the women of our family in such a way that they can ensure the good health of all the members of the family. There has been a very famous saying that where the women are worshipped the place is the Abode of God and we have also found the descriptions of auspicious women in many scriptures in our culture and traditions. 

The woman whose words are sweet Babbu man whose voice is sweet and who speak with lots of affection for others who is always ready to serve the needy people and who is always ready to to forgive and hu is also always ready to make great sacrifices and at the same time she is also very e vice and has lots of compassion in her nature and fully dedicated to her duty such women are considered as respectable as Goddess Mata Lakshmi. Such women always deserve the blessings of Bhagwan Dhanvantari and  these woman cook food for every member of her family without any kind of discrimination or partiality taking care of the taste of every member and disturb the food with great affection for everyone.
There is found a description in charak Samhita in which it has been said that people are running here and there in the world only in search of food which is the reason why food has also been called soul of all living being and it is also a reality that our food has the power to protect our life and it also gives us mind intelligence satisfaction peace good health and healthy life and also makes us strong healthy and fused and full of encouragement and all these qualities are possible due to food that we eat. However it is a very unfortunate state of affairs that the same food today has turned out to be promoter of diseases and endangering our life. Today the report of world research tells that those people who died due to hunger in the world is much lesser than those who die due to eating unhealthy food. 
The management of our kitchen lies in the hands of our mother and our mothers must take the responsibility to select best food ingredients so that the cook the food by them could not cause any kind of health hazard for the members of the family only then we will be able to build a disease free Nation and all the then we will be able to to reject the report of the world forum which says that India has become the biggest hub of diseases in present time. But if the mothers and sisters of this country discharge their duties properly then all these proclamation will definitely fail.
Because Indian Kitchen has been the world best kitchen and all the food ingredients used to cook food in Indian kitchens and the spices that are used in India are amazingly great from health point of view because the food ingredients including spices are nothing but healthy natural medicines which are able to cure so many diseases and prevent  the diseases as well. For example paper bay leaves both black and green cardamom ginger garlic cinnamon etc have so many health benefits and our ancestors knew very well about the health benefits of these medicines and their knowledge passed from one generation to another generation and people used these food ingredients with great trust as considering them Protector of our health but today's generation is fast forgetting the importance of these great food ingredients because the age-old knowledge is on the part of downslide. 
Our kitchen has always been free from diseases due to Ayurvedic ingredients and since ancient time our kitchens have been a laboratory of Ayurveda where our Lifestyle our daily routine and effect of seasonal changes are taken care of while preparing food since ancient time and if we try to understand this it will be clear that our kitchens are still a laboratory of Ayurveda which they were in ancient time and every work that we do you at home is done while keeping our health in our mind as the top priority and did not ever care that how efficiently the experts of Ayurveda formalized our daily Lifestyle in such a manner that has always been a scientific way and which is the reason why different food has been suggested to be eaten in different seasons to keep ourselves healthy which is according to To the principle of Ayurveda and h domestic kitchens are are managed according to to the principles of Ayurveda.

While focusing on the way of working of our mothers and sisters at home it has been said that if a mother is going to cook food in the kitchen then she must keep in her mind that she is not going to cook food but she is going to prepare Prasad. She also think that she is not cooking food but she is preparing natural medicines to keep everybody healthy in the family and every member in the family will have good physical and mental health.

I wish that nobody should be on healthy nobody Falls ill in the family and in ancient time our grandmothers were well aware of health benefits of natural food without reading any yoga or ayurvedic book or scripture. Earlier people live in joint families and all the women of the family considered all the children as their own and took care of everyone with equal expression of love and affection and it is also that that they had not read any moral science book like Ramayan Aur Geeta but then you how to behave in the family because equality was the main force that kept the whole family together and kept the whole family healthy.
But in the last 20 to 40 years there has come a big change in our kitchens due to which we are witnessing Rapid growth in the number of complicated and life threatening diseases. Due to copying the modern lifestyle foolishly and blindly we have maintained a distance from the principles of Ayurveda and our kitchens which used to be a laboratory of cooking healthy food have today become non-scientific. Due to blindly following the modern lifestyle Indian kitchens are getting destroyed everyday and the number of patients is growing in the hospitals which is a result of the disturbance caused in the balanced food habits. 
Due to the glare of model lifestyle Indian kitchens have been badly affected.
Vagh Bhatt has suggested 4 principles of cooking food-

First principles of cooking food

According to this the food which has been away from the contact of Sunlight and natural air is not a food but it is is like poison which can destroy our health because the touch of Sunlight and natural air gives divine power to the food that we eat and the absence of the two while cooking food is harmful for our body and mind. Similarly that water is also as healthy and should not be taken if if it has not win in the contact of air and sunlight add this is the reason why the people of Jain culture do not eat the food that grows under the surface of the earth and the people of Jain community also do not eat food after sunset. The logic behind it is that when the food comes in contact with the sun harmful bacteria and other microbes are destroyed and when the food comes in the contact with the air oxygen content in the food becomes higher due to which the food becomes good for health.

Second principle of cooking food

According to the second principle of cooking food first it is required to understand that the food which becomes ripe in the field in a longer period of time it also takes longer time in getting cooked in the kitchen that means we must take care of  the principle of motion in the process of preparing food for eating which means food becomes nutritious after cooking if it is cooked properly for example the food that becomes ripe in the field in just 3 months takes very little time in getting cooked while the food which takes 9 months in getting ripe in the field takes longer time in getting cooked in the kitchen. According to this principle a food takes a certain time in accumulating the nutrition from soil and that nutrition will become decomposed in the kitchen when it is cooked but it will also take a certain time and in the both process we cannot make any changes from our side because the process is quite natural and even if we could bring changes in the process of cooking in terms of time then we can get food to eat but we can not get sufficient nutrition out of it.

Third principle of cooking food

When our brothers and sisters cook food in the kitchen that food must be eaten by all the members of the family within 48 minutes after cooking. Because if the gap between having finished the cooking and having eaten the food increases the nutritional value continues to go down and after 24 hours of cooking the food becomes stale and if this gap is very large then it is not fit for or being eaten by even animals and if a food after cooking and before it in if heated for so many times then it loses its natural nutrition and eating such food main cause deformities in our body. The way our ancestors used to to prepare a harvest before it being cooked in the kitchen it also had a proper rule like for example after grinding of food grain our ancestors used to consume it within 15 days which was good from health point of view and if the food is eaten after 15 days of grinding then it starts losing its nutritional value and from health point of view it also appears to be quite right that a food grain after grinding remains fresh but with passing of time it is attacked by microbes and it continues to become harmful for our health. Vitiate from scientific point of view then it appears quite natural and in today's modern context it is unfortunate that we are forgetting their scientific principle everyday while our ancestors had made these rules but we have been ignorant to these rules. 

Fourth principle of cooking food

According to the fourth principle of cooking food when we grind a food grain at a very high speed then the food prepared this way is harmful for our health like oil extracted from mustard seeds can be harmful if it is grinded very fast similarly the flour made of food grain if grinded very fast then it may also cause health hazard. It is a fact that India is the country of wind and 70% diseases caused in India is due to air 20% due to pitta and 10% due to cough. This means whatever process we follow while cooking food in our kitchen they must not be e very fast and they must not be prepared very fine way. This can be easily recognised for example if wheat grain is cooked from two methods one in manual grinder where grinding takes place by using hand while the another bulk of wheat grain is grinded in electric meal and you will feel that the chapati made of the manually grinded flour is software for a very long time while another chapati made of electrically grinding flour becomes very hard very soon. Therefore from these examples one can easily understand this fact similarly fine flour which is also called maida causes gastric problem when consumed by us because it has been prepared at a very micro level similarly refined oil white sugar are are also very harmful but mustard oil and jaggery are good for our health similarly fibrous flour. In our modern lifestyle during last two or three decades these principles totally ignored and this way our kitchen which used to be the laboratory of a healthy Ayurvedic process has now become an epicenter of of causing diseases which is a matter of serious concern for coming generations.

In today's modern time we are also going away from the utensils that were good for our health and used some generations back because the food cooked in those old you can shelf used to be very tasty and good for our health but these days we have been using aluminium pressure cooker which is a a major reason for birth of diseases because earlier we were ready to spare sufficient time while cooking food but today we try to cook food as early as possible due to which we have been compromising our health and it is also a fact that pressure cooker violates the principles advised in the above mentioned paragraphs. Everybody knows well that when we cook food in the pressure cooker our food never comes in contact with sunlight and natural air during the process of cooking and it is also a fact that pressure cooker simply boils the pulses but it never decomposes the nutrients present in the pulses. In the field grains of pulses become ripe in 9 month therefore we must cook pulses in the kitchen for a longer time to make it nutritious and that too on a very low flame and this way the food will become good for our health. People those who come from rural background they know it quite well that earlier in the villages food was not cooked in the pressure cooker but in the pottery and that too on a very low flame on a clay made stove and due to this scientific method the food cooked this way had amazing taste but it is unfortunate that the pulses that which cook in pressure cooker contain only 18% of Nutrition while the pulses cooked in the earthen pot had complete nutrition and even today the Prasad to be offered to Lord Jagannath in Puri is also cooked in earthen pot. The smell of soil and nutrition of of the food cooked in such a pot made the food best. Another thing that we must take care of is that pressure cooker is made of aluminium which is also so not good for our health as it may cause so many deadly diseases therefore we are ourselves responsible for these problems when respected Swami Ji Maharaj has been saying again and again that we will have to associate ourselves again with our ancient traditions only then we can develop ourselves as a healthy Nation. Now let's also talk about refrigerator and micro oven as electronic gadgets are also breaching the principle of cooking food because restore our cooked food in the refrigerator and we use micro oven Ava the Stored food is to be served tour person but in this whole process the nutritional value of the food is destroyed and whatever we eat is nothing but residual remain the food but not the actual food and this way this food destroys our digestive system and also causes wastage of electric power and the release of chlorofluorocarbon from our electronic gadgets is also destroying our Ozone layer which prevents the coming of ultraviolet rays on the surface of Earth and it is also fact that the cold water of refrigerator has made crores of people in the country the patient of constipation and when this problem becomes very cute then it's repercussions makes life miserable but if we make our self and little bit disciplined then we can protect ourselves from these harmful diseases and now we will have to again start using the earthen pot to cool our drinking water this should also cook only that much of food that we can consume immediately but cooking more and more in quantity at once and storing it in refrigerator then it might save a little bit of your friend but it will definitely not be able to save your health. It has also been written in our scriptures that still food is something that invite diseases even then we repeatedly make this mistake and in today's modern world people have forgotten the taste and joy of eating hot chapati. People go to office everyday carrying their lunch in a tiffin box and by the afternoon this food becomes very low in in terms of its nutritional value and we are left with but to feel our stomach with this unhealthy food add this food makes us speak. Eating bread every morning has also become a very common in the breakfast and people have also developed a habit of keeping Pav Bhaji every evening but it is a fact that bread is made of of rotten food but our culture and tradition has never allowed us to eat such unhealthy food. 
Grinder mixer can be seen in every family which is a breach of the fourth principle of cooking food because the food is grinded at a very fast speed due to which the nutrients are not decomposed well in the process of grinding in the mixer grinder but earlier people used stone made manual grinder which took sufficient time in grinding food stops which was able to decompose all the nutrients and provide it to our body to keep us healthy and it is a well-known fact that the food grinded in the mixer grinder causes gastric problem when eaten. Similarly packaged flour and packaged food are also breach of 3rd and 4th principle of cooking food.
Today in most of the families we are seeing packaged wheat flour is being used at a very large scale but this does not give us the natural taste of Chapati and it might feel our stomach but it never satisfies our body and our test Birds besides it also invites diseases but earlier people used to you grind wheat grains at home in a manual stone grinder and the women of every family used to grind food grains everyday cording to their need at this way everybody in the family remained healthy by eating the food grinded this wave.
The process is we used to cook food earlier in our kitchen used to be good for our health and in this process minute things for good health work taken into consideration and Manual machines like silbatta and Manual Chakki used to I am sure amazing taste and healthy food for every member of the family besides women of every family used to do physical exercise while using the manual machines but in today's modern time electric and electronic machines are being used that is destroying paste help and also does not allow proper physical exercise for those who prepare food in our families and even human being are becoming like machines and this is the reason why today's people are neither getting tasty food not getting healthy food due to which the entire human civilization is being surrounded by dangerous diseases.
Respected Swami Ji Maharaj has given up cal that we must get rid of the electric and electronic gadgets being used in our kitchen which are not good for our health and we should also try to to make our kitchens again a laboratory of good health according to Ayurvedic point of view and the most work in this direction.
