We live to eat or we eat to live, either ways food is the center element. Science has come a long way and medicines for every ailment and many diseases are now available. Yet all doctors, dieticians and old wives tales will tell you that popping a pill is not the only cure.

Indeed green tea can make a headache disappear; fenugreek seeds make an upset tummy better so and so forth. A pinch of turmeric in a glass of milk can take care of that cold. What we eat determines how we feel, look and behave.

Food is something we can delve into endlessly, for it is our very existence. Food, however is merely a tool; how we use it is what makes it good or bad.

Energy / Nutrition : With a poor diet or lack of discipline in meal times, we basically alter our energy levels and nourishment quotient.

If we can get our basics right, then food is a playground and we can have tons of fun with our various toys. For example, our body needs a certain amount of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, calcium etc. Protein can be had from meats.  For instance, a fried fish has a reduced amount of protein then say a grilled fish. Because when we fry, we kill its nutritional value with all the excess oil and over-heating but when we grill, lesser oil and controlled heat will allow the fish to cook in its natural juices,therefore, retaining all its core essentials. So by having grilled fish we have maximized the benefits of that particular food group. Similarly with nuts, if eaten in the raw form, they create high energy but if we fry them as we might on festive occasion, then typically it has lost its nutritional worth, so all it's doing is making us gain weight and the more we eat, the more prone to acidity we get.

Proteins are substances that are vital in building structural components for the body such as muscles and organs. They function in a way that helps the body recover from illnesses and injury. They also help a great deal in keeping the body's immune system healthy, synthesizing neurotransmitters, creating hormones and other functions. Meat, eggs and dairy products are a major source of high protein. But what do you do if you're a vegetarian and cannot lay your hands on these foods? Worry not. There are just as many options for you!

The Vegetarian Advantage
Proteins are made up of amino acids and there are about 20 different types. The human body can produce 11 of these. The others have to be absorbed through the food we eat. The vegetarian diet has several advantages in obtaining the complete balanced set of proteins. One of them most certainly is that there is no cholesterol in plants so you end up absorbing a lot less of it. Secondly, by eating a lot of veggies you're taking in a lot more fiber which helps in bowel movements. Lastly, you never exceed your calorie limits. Isn't that wonderful?
