We learnt long ago to cook meat and since then cooking has became an

art. Except for leafy green salad, few things are eaten raw. But a

diet of raw food is becoming popular as this helps to lose weight and

detoxify. Raw food includes fruits, nuts and vegetables.

This reminds me of a quite interesting story I discovered just by

chance on a blog while surfing around. This person, a copywriter

living in India at the time, wanted to have lunch delivered the same

as many do in Mumbai, in a Tiffin box. She also had IBS. Long story

short, she found herself led to a place which prescribed - and

prepared/delivered to her in Tiffany boxes - raw lunches. She

overcame the IBS.

 

Her story:

The " Health Awareness Center " which helped her:

From their website:

" . . .the Centre was started to educate, provide, rehabilitate and

help people to look after their own health. This ideally being done,

without the dependence on doctors, medicines, hospitals, and other

'health curing' systems. . . . "

 

" As one of the first activities, the Centre started a Lunch service of

living foods. This was to provide economical, nutritious and

sustainable meals to sick people, working people, those who are old

and disabled or those who are simply health-conscious. There are

around 150 people in Mumbai city, who every month, avail of this

service, which is now 5 years old and thriving well. The Vegetarian

Food Plan is designed to supply the ideal balance, according to the

needs of the body.

The Centre's kitchen does not use:

 

- Any oil

- Milk and Milk Products.

- Refined Products, like Maida, Breads, White Rice, etc.

- Processed or packaged products.

- Refined salt or sugar.

 

Only wholesome, natural, fresh, unaduleterated ingredients are used,

which includes organically grown grains, cereals, sprouts, and

vegetables (whenever available). Special care is taken to 'Make' the

food and not 'cook' in the conventional ways, which destroy all the

live enzymes and most of the nutrients. "
