What is Nutrition?

Nutrition is not a play of numbers, components, measures etc. It is much more holistic and simpler. NUTRITION IS:

Meditation, Physical Activity, Relaxation, Food,


Sleep, Healthy Mind, Fresh Air, Sunlight,



Healthy Routines, Recreation, Environment, Hygiene

We can hope to live & die healthy only if we can cater to at least a few (half according to my view point) all the time. We have to assess our lives and see where we stand. Dwelling in big cities, giving much importance to the material; most of us compromise on many aspects. For eg living in Mumbai I can say that we don’t get proper sunlight as we are packed away in air-conditioned offices; can’t even think of fresh air; mental poise too goes for a toss; there is no question of non-deprivation of relaxation, sleep, physical activity and meditation. We feel that we are spend enough on movies, eating out, partying which we call recreation but that is only entertainment. Recreation is when you are physically and mentally involved in something creative which peps you up for work later. Learning music, painting, dancing etc falls under this category. Watching TV, SO DOES NOT!!! We do take care of our external hygiene but what about the waste stored in our bodies? That leaves us with just one choice. To concentrate more on food and improving other aspects as best as we can.

I would like to go into detail of each & every factor responsible for nutrition but for today it is just enough to get the point across.

The effect of such nutrition might not befall immediately and if you are lucky you may never have to face it. But that doesn’t mean we give up our fundamental right to live happily, healthily and die peacefully. What say??
