Cook Your Food
Foods have their own individuality. These are blessed with the intellegence of the nature. Nature has blessed these with the great powers to maintain our vital powers. But the same intelligence we all have also. Food and human body react with each other, when we ingest the food. All our cells including our Psychology interact with food. It is a clash of two personalities. When these two individualities and intelligences work together for one purpose i.e. the well being of ours, health is maintained. But when these individualities clash with each other, body and foods react according to their own individualities and conditions like food allergies start to appear. Cooking is a process developed by the intelligent minds to make foods and human bodies compatible. We, human beings are superior to the animals in this. We know how to eat properly by cooking these.
Spices and oils used to cook the foods are the best mediators in between us and our foods. The process of Cooking is known as "Samaskar". Samaskar literally means the process to enhance, to modify the properties of something. Cooking is a Samskar for the foods. Here few steps of cooking food are discussed with their effects on the food items-
-
Boiling- Digestion is a process which is meant to disintegrate the food stuff by the help of different enzymes and secretions of the body. When we eat something well boiled it is easy and feasible for the body to assimilate that food. So by eating the food without proper boiling it, we are making it hared for the body to assimilate that food stuff.
-
Adding Spices- Many of us think that spices are just a media to put the taste in the foods? It is not only taste. Spices are blessed herbs, with potential to cure many diseases. By adding spices we make our food tasty, so that all the sense organs, will welcome these foods. And on other hand unknowingly we are medicating our food so that these will be assimilated properly.
-
Oils and Fats- These are a controversial part in the modern medicinal sciences. Oil and fats are told to be blessed with the power of "Yogvahitava". Yogvahitva is a capability of something to carry the good characters of the next, which is combined with that food stuff, without loosing its own properties. This is the one thing, next is; all the spices are the herbs, which have their medicinal properties in form of Volatile Oils. Volatile oils are fixed with the oils and fats which are added to the foods while cooking these.
So cook your food properly and add taste and health in it. Add the spices in your food according to your Dosha to avoid the consequences of the Spices, about which you are worried!! |
