बासी भोजन और महिलाए

कल सुबह मेरी सहेली मणि के बहुत तेज पेट दर्द हुआ. फोन आते ही  मैं उसके घर भागी. वो चुपचाप लेटी थी और घर के सभी सदस्य ऐसा लग रहा था कि नाराज हो. मैने सोचा कि अरे … बेचारी की तबियत ठीक नही और आप नाराज हैं इस पर वो बोले कि नाराजगी वाली तो बात ही है. महीने के बाद  आज मणि फ्रिज साफ कर रही थी. बर्फ भी बहुत जम गई थी इसलिए साफ कर रही थी और फ्रिज में खाने का छोटा मोटा सामान भी पडा हुआ था. थोडी बहुत सब्जी, दाल कटोरियों में बची हुई थी. (बासी भोजन और महिलाए )

कुछ तो शायद इसने फेंक दिया पर एक सब्जी नही फेंकी. उसे ठीक लगी और उसने बासी( Stale food)  परौठी के साथ खा ली. वो सब्जी हफ्ते पुरानी थी. ऐसे में तकलीफ और दर्द  नही होगा तो क्या होगा वो तो बचाव हो गया कि फूड पायजनिंग नही हुई. अब तो मुझे भी मणि पर गुस्सा आ रहा था. वैसे हम महिलाए जरा भी अपना ख्याल नही रखती. जहां परिवार और बच्चों की सेहत की बात हो वहां समझौता नही करेगी पर जब अपनी सेहत की बात आती है तो लापरवाह हो जाती है. वैसे आप तो ऐसी नही होंगी … और अगर है तो जरा नही बहुत सोचने की दरकार है !!

कहने को तो हम प्रतिदिन भरपूर मात्रा में हरी सब्जियाँ, अंकुरित अनाज, फल, जूस, सूप, सलाद व संतुलित मात्रा में पोषक तत्वयुक्त भोजन करते हैं। वहीं दूसरी ओर लगभग 90 प्र.श. व्यक्ति विभिन्न पोषकजन्य बीमारियों, कमर दर्द, सिर दर्द आदि व्याधियों से पीड़ित हैं। नेत्र ज्योति कमजोर होना, थकान होना, हाथ-पैरों में सूजन आम बीमारियाँ हैं। आखिर हमारे खानपान, पाक विधि में कहीं न कहीं कोई त्रुटि अवश्य है जिससे हमारे द्वारा लिया जा रहा उत्तम आहार भी उतना प्रभावी नहीं होता जितना होना चाहिए। भारतीय पाक कला, व्यंजनों की विविधता, लजीजता विश्वविख्यात हैं। भारतीय महिलाएँ तो इस कला में निपुण होती हैं, किन्तु भोजन बनाने के दौरान वे ऐसी गलतियाँ कर बैठती हैं जिससे उसकी पौष्टिकता बहुत कम हो जाती है अथवा नष्ट हो जाती है। अतः आवश्यक हो जाता है कि भोजन पकाते समय कुछ जरूरी बातों का ध्यान रखा जाए। जिस समय भोजन करना हो उसी वक्त बनाएँ। बार-बार गरम करने से विटामिन नष्ट हो जाते हैं। जरूरत से ज्यादा भोजन न बनाएँ। बासी भोजन स्वास्थ्य पर प्रतिकूल प्रभाव डालता है अथवा उसे फेंकना पड़ता है। दोनों ही स्थितियाँ हानिकारक हैं। दाल, चावल आदि रगड़-रगड़कर न धोएँ, इससे ऊपरी सतह पर विद्यमान पोषक तत्व नष्ट हो जाते हैं। कोई भी अनाज एकदम बारीक न पिसवाएँ, विशेषकर गेहूँ तो चोकरयुक्त ही पिसवाएँ। हरी सब्जी, दाल, चावल फ्राइंग पेन अथवा प्रेशर कुकर में ही पकाएँ। इससे ईंधन तो बचता ही है, पोषक तत्व भी कम से कम नष्ट होते हैं।

भारतीय लड़कियों में सुस्त जीवनशैली, बासी भोजन की आदतें और मोटापे के कारण पोलीसिस्टिक ओवरी सिड्रोम फैलने की सम्भावना बढ रही है.

स्वास्थ्य विशेषज्ञों ने बताया कि एक अनुमान के मुताबिक, 10 से 30 फीसदी महिलाएं इससे प्रभावित हो रही हैं।

अक्सर अखबार में भी खबर आती रहती है कि बासी खाना खाने से चार लोग अस्पताल में भर्ती या पूरे परिवार की तबियत बिगडी. वगैरहा वगैरहा… इसी के साथ साथ तो कुछ  पंडित जी तो यह भी मानते हैं कि बासी खाना, बासी रोटियां दान करने, गाय को खिलाने से बच्चों पर बुरा असर पड़ता है. यही नहीं, गाय को खराब सब्जियां खिलाने का बुरा प्रभाव भी बच्चे की जिंदगी पर पड़ता है.

बेशक, बासी खाना हमें बहुत टेस्टी लगता है. आलू मैथी की सब्जी हो और बासी परौठीं या ताजे निकाले मखन्न के साथ बासी रोटी या बासी खिचडी और कडी….  एक रात की बासी हो जाए तो कोई दिक्कत नही पर अगर 5-7 दिन पुरानी हो जाएगी तो कैसे चलेगा… फिर तो वो शरीर को हर हालत में नुकसान ही देगा इसलिए ….

We’re all familiar with the benefits of eating a healthy diet, but it seems the importance of eating seasonably is less well-known.  Those who already grow their own will agree when I say that fruit and veg are at their best when freshly picked. But there’s more to eating seasonably than this.

For a helping hand click on the images below to see when different fruit and veg are in season:

Autumn

Winter (coming soon)

Spring (coming soon)

Summer (coming soon)

Any idea when courgettes come into season? How about cucumbers? No? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Research shows that most people aren’t sure when most British fruit and vegetables are in season which is a real shame as it means they’re missing out on when they’re at their absolute best.

While it’s easy to enjoy blueberries with your breakfast in winter, being accustomed to buying whatever we want, whenever we want it means we are increasingly becoming disconnected from our food and its relationship with nature. Eating with the seasons means getting back in touch with nature’s rhythms and eating the right thing at the right time. What could be more delicious than a crisp salad when it’s hot and sunny a wholesome stew when it’s cold? Ask any chef and they’ll tell you that fruit and veg are at their best when they’ve just been picked, so why settle for sickly looking strawberries in Winter or unappetising asparagus in Autumn?

Reasons to eat seasonably:

1. Fruit and veg are at their freshest and tastiest when they are first picked

2. Eating seasonably is a great way of eating more sustainably

Growing fruit and veg in season requires lower levels of artificial inputs like heating, lighting, pesticides and fertilisers than at other times of the year and so has a lower environmental impact.

3. Grocery bills are cheaper due in part by reduced transportation and production costs for growers. Everybody wins!

Get the whole family involved! Try cooking and eating seasonably to experience the joy of eating fruit and vegetables at their peak of perfection: fresher, tastier, better value and better for the environment. For more info check out our ‘Eat the Seasons’ page, and also our recipes page.

“Don’t go outside without a coat. Its Freezing! You’ll Catch A Cold!”

This is untrue. The Common Cold is a virus that is passed from human to human. It can be spread in hot and cold weather. What is true is that being cold lowers your resistance against viruses, but this doesn’t by any means suggest you will automatically catch a cold from being outside without a cold when it gets a bit nippy.

“Don’t crack your knuckles like that! You’ll get arthritis!”

This is also completely untrue. Believe it or not, there has been studies carried out on this. In a study carried out on 300 “knuckle crackers”, results found no evidence that this leads to arthritis. The strain put on your joints when you crack them are nothing compared to the normal strain put on them during everyday activities. In essence, it doesn’t do any damage at all, its just generally a very annoying habit.

“Eat up your carrots, you’ll be able to see in the dark!”

Unfortunately, eating carrots does not give you superhero powers. Just as - i suppose - eating runner beans does not make you an Olympic sprinter (see what i did there…?) Although carrots are rich in vitamin A, which are beneficial to eye sight, once again, there is no evidence at all that it helps see in the dark. This myth was started during WWII. Instead of telling the public that the British Intelligence were using radar, they said that they were eating carrots to help see in the dark. However, eating too many carrots does make you turn orange…. apparently.

“Dont swallow Chewing Gum! It doesn’t get digested. It will stay in your body forever!

Sorry, wrong again! There are so many myths about chewing gum - this is just one of them. As chewing gum contains a laxative, chewing gum may be passed through the body even faster once swallowed than other foods. Although it is not harmful, I still find myself not recommending it. It is only dangerous in abnormal doses, and obviously, if choked on. Other rumours include the idea that chewing gum makes a hole in your stomach. This is - apparently - caused by the acid in your stomach. This is also untrue. Two other rumours are that if you swallow gum, and you fart, you blow your bubble out your backside, and that it makes your guts all stick together. I’ll leave you to make your own informed decisions on those two.

“An Apple A Day Keeps The Doctor Away”

Well this one is a bit vague. Most people will argue that it depends on what you do with the apple. If you throw the apple at any approaching doctors, it should do the trick. However, if you eat it, most scientists would say, not much will happen. However recent studies have shown that eating apples can prevent the risk of breast and colon cancer.

“Eat up your crusts, they are good for you!”

Finally a proven, true fact. Although on the surface, this appears to be another tale told by your gran, crusts contain eight times as many antioxidents as any part of the bread. Interesting eh? So if you are that bothered, eat up your crusts!

“If you keep pulling faces, one day the wind will change and you’ll get stuck that way.

“

This one doesn’t even justify me wasting my time explaining why it is so proposterous. So I won’t.

“You only use 10% of your brain”

Wrong, Wrong, Wrong! The only people who only use 10% of their brain are the people who made up this myth. In many cases, it is hard to believe that some people are even using 10% of their brain. However, scientifically speaking, this is not true. Hi-tech studies have proven this. What may be true is that only 10% - or a figure around this - would be used at any one time, but all of the brain is used for different things at different times.

“Eating Low Fat foods help you lose weight”

No it doesn’t! Although it sounds about right, eating fat has nothing to do with your weight. There are good fats and bad fats. Good fats - monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats lower cholestrol, and actually have been proven to help lose body weight. Bad fats - saturated fats - increase cholestrol levels which can block arteries, higher blood pressure, and even lead to impotence. But it does not increase weight. This is all determined to the amount of energy - in terms of calories (Kcal). Unburned calories are turned into fat (body fat) which then in turn increases weight. Another myth is that high cholestrol is inevitable as you grow older. This is also untrue.

“I dare you to sneeze with your eyes open. I bet your eyes fly out our head!”

Firstly, and somewhat dully, we have nothing to worry about when it comes to losing your eyes in a sneezing fit. The truth is our eye balls are fixed tightly to our head, and  so aren’t likely to go anywhere, regardless. Another reassuring fact for those who are genuinely worried is that a reflex motion in our eyes makes it impossible to sneeze with our eyes open anyway. So thats all cleared up then….

Kitty realized she’d have to adapt to the new housemate and his disgusting habits.

Not a whole heck of a lot to report today. The above concept sketch is from a recent project I picked up recently. Guy watches bird, giant dinosaur watches guy - fairly simple concept, no?

I hit a brick wall in the writing of my novel last night. Suddenly everything that I write is little more than a pile of poop, stacked on top of another pile of poop. Hopefully taking a few days away from it will clear my head and help me finish this thing. I've started so many novels in the past and have ALWAYS had problems when coming down the home stretch. Some of them I ended up finishing, but absolutely hating, while others I never touched again. I really would like to finish this one - so I need to get my act together.

In other wonderful news I have this weird thing growing on my eyelid. It sort of looks like a zit, but not really - it's a bit more like Quato from "Total Recall." I keep waiting for it to grow arms and tell me that I need to "start the reactor," but it hasn't happened yet.

I had the great O-MI-GOD kind of privilege yesterday to hear the New York Times Best Selling author, Elizabeth Gilbert speak at UCSB as part of their phenomenal Arts & Lectures series.

In case you were recently hijacked and forced to live in absolute seclusion for the last year (not like that's a bad thing), you might have missed hearing about the incredible success of Liz Gilbert's memoir entitled Eat, Pray, Love that has been on the Bestseller List for 60 weeks. Wow. Yeah, that's what I think, too.

She lectured for about a half an hour about writing process, which I loved, and then turned it over to the audience for questions. This always makes me a little anxious because people can ask the corniest, most embarrassing things. And for some reason, I feel completely responsible for every inane thing that might come out of a fellow audience member's mouth. Like I'm the room monitor and Liz might hold it against me if someone says something truly stupid.

But the audience behaved itself quite nicely-- save for the guy that asked for her phone number. My favorite question to her was about intention vs. impact. A man asked her what the "size" of her intention was when she started her book. Did it match the impact? I knew that she had sold the book proposal for her memoir before she made the trip to the "I" countries-- Italy, India, Indonesia. She'd spent her advance money traveling and supporting herself for the year.

Her answer surprised a lot of us. She said she wrote that book for one reader-- her friend, Darcy, who was going through a hard time. Liz thought Darcy would benefit from hearing what she had learned about living. She said, the book could actually start out "Dear Darcy" and end "Love, Liz". She credited her younger sister, Catherine Murdock Gilbert, a young adult author, who had given her this sage writing advice. Write to one reader.

Know exactly who you are writing to, and stay with them. If you are focused on just one person, it will help you to know what to leave in and what to keep out. For example, Liz started to ask herself at some point in the book if she needed to explain yoga, then remembered that Darcy wouldn't need that. She moved right on.

In addition to "one reader" being strong writing guidance, it is powerful marketing advice as well. Liz Gilbert could have put the intention and pressure on herself to write a bestseller. But, she didn't. She wrote the best book she could to help a friend, and in doing so, wrote from an authentic place inside of herself. That naked, honest voice attracted ONE MILLION readers.

I was inspired by Robin's post last week about the Butterfly Effect and I think this dovetails with that. Yes, for god's sake, we all want to be phenomenally successful, great writers and strong promoters of our work. But there is enormous power in doing one thing-- one butterfly flapping their wing. One author speaking to one reader.

I also loved that in the middle of her lecture, Liz Gilbert took a moment to promote her sister's work. There will probably be a significant spike in the sales of Dairy Queen while she is on tour.
But her celebrity aside, that was one writer talking up one book. That's how it gets done.

The power on ONE. Take heart, friends--

Best,
Mary Hershey
