Here is what I give to my child first thing in the morning - 3 dates, 2 figs, 15 black raisins, 5 almonds and 3 walnuts all soaked (this is for 2 glasses of the drink) Blend all the above with a glass of water. No need to add honey or sugar or any sweetener.

Hi! Am not sure which part of Delhi are you in. If Gurgaon suits you then there is a good option in Palam Vihar - Cherry on Top. Their FB page link is - https://www.facebook.com/pg/vegan.cherryontop/about/?ref=page_internal

What does it mean to eat whole foods? What all is included in this category?

Whole foods are foods that are not refined / processed. Eat whole foods as much as possible. This means: Avoid white sugar – choose natural sweeteners like dates, figs, raisins etc. Replace the fats you get from refine oil with fats from natural sources like nuts and seeds Eat unpolished rice instead of white rice Try to consume fruits and veggies as whole or pulped or as smoothies instead of juicing them
Recently a friend of mine, who’s a diabetic told me about stevia as an alternate to sugar. What is stevia? Is it safe to use?
Pramod Pathak

Stevia is a leaf extract from a South American plant with the same name. It comes in powdered form, granules and also as tablets. This is a good healthy substitute for a diabetic person during the initial period when making a lifestyle change. Specially when trying to avoid all forms of refined sugar. This is best to beat sweet cravings and use in drinks in place of refined sugar. Remember the healthy food by ORS - Original, Regional and Seasonal. Stevia is best if you are in North America and Olive oil if you are in a Mediterranean Country.
What is the best super-food?

To me, there's no better super food than the fresh air, sunlight, water enriched by the sunlight, earth and the sky. Every living being basically functions on energy and energy can be got purely from its original sources. That doesn't mean that we don't need food. We do need food which is full of life, that is, fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts etc. The food doesn't act on the body, the body acts on the food. The better your digestive system is the better it can digest, assimilate and absorb energy from whatever you have eaten. Every living being, plants and creature on this earth has all types of vitamins, minerals, etc in them in different ratios. But that doesn't make it the right food for you. Eat anything and your body will take something out of it. But if you want super health then concentrate on a balanced and healthy lifestyle. Eat human-specific food. This will assist in overall improvements in your health. Be Healthy and
In a party , what you should choose , salads or cooked food?

Hi there, in parties, honestly I do not fret so much. At the party, I eat whatever is available. What I focus on in is the next day. I make sure next day is usually a raw day or at max one cooked meal a day. I sleep a little longer to allow body some recoup time from all that digestion. I am on fruits till noon after a binge night. Usually will have my juice the next day for sure (even if other wise I am not that regular)
Hello everyone! I am trying to remove refined sugar from my kitchen. I tried using honey and jaggery. But these options are not very satisfactory in every dish, my kids especially ask for sugar only. Was wondering how about “sugar-free”? Is a good substitute for sugar?
Swati Dhariwal MA, ND,
04:42 PM | 09-05-2019
Sugar free is not a healthy alternative to sugar. Firstly you need to get over the craving for sweets by consuming lots of sweet seasonal fruits. Secondly, introduce the kids to new sweets made of nuts, dates etc. if you try to substitute sugar with jaggery or honey they will still look out for the previous taste. Introduce new tastes and help them develop new taste. Don't force, just transition slowly. Don't expect overnight changes. Be healthy Be Happy Always.
Hi! I am trying to quit dairy, facing a challenge. I often have to work for extended hours and don’t get enough sleep. Tea/Coffee is the first things that comes to my mind to give me an energy boost. How can I manage this without taking tea/coffee?

Dear friend, I guess this is a common problem for many of us these days. While the best thing is to avoid working till late in the night because as per nature's laws, the complete darkness is the time for your body to rest. However, I do understand it kind of becomes inevitable many a times. In that case, do try to make up for the lost sleep over the weekend. The rule of thumb is 8 hours of sleep daily or 56 hours each week! When you do work till late at night and need an energizer you could rely on dates/raisins! They are quick to digest and provide instant energy. I know someone who makes date paste and keeps it stored in the fridge. She quickly adds the paste in a glass of water to get a great energizing drink. You may want to try!
Dear all, need help for the right kind of diet for my 15 year old son. He is into high intensity cardio, 3-4 consecutive days a week? I have heard some people recommend proteins (like eggs) right after a session. Our coach give has not given any such recommendation, so I am not sure what should I give to my son to keep up his strength & energy (before and after training).... Any advice?

Hello, as a family we go to the gym and are into weight training ourselves. As a female, I am not keen on bulking and my husband is more into getting his 6 pack. He has been into this since more than a year now. We did not really worry about proteins or any of those post and pre work out foods or drinks that certain gym trainers brainwash people into. For a few months, he was on Twice cooked meal and once fruit in the morning. The fruit is really full -600-700gms roughly. Drank a green juice before gym just for hydration and nothing else. Cooked is vegan whole food plant based and it was twice a day. Then 6-7 months was majorly on one grainless meal and one grains meal among those 2 cooked meals Then gym instructor was also influenced at my energy levels and his background on raw also was good. So he encouraged my husband to eat more raw for muscle building. So he switched to one raw and one cooked for lunch and dinner. He has now a 3 pack perhaps and he has shed a
Can asthma patients consume nuts?
Ankur

Key criteria to choose food is FIBRE WATER LIFE. Fibre is there in all nuts. Life is there though less than fruits and veggies. Water is very less. This makes nuts concentrated foods and hence we take them in moderation. So, to improve their digestibility try to have them soaked. Coconut is the best but as it has more water and life than any other nut. It is least contaminated due to its hard outer shell. In India it is revered as SUPREME FRUIT ( sriphal) due to these qualities

Hi… After starting raw,My weight is reducing... Already I am underweight. What do you say?
Mayuri Goswami
12:40 PM | 28-01-2019
Hi pls note, as you move to whole plant-based foods body sheds a lot of stored toxins. And it will lose weight. Weight should normalise in three weeks. The body eliminates toxins when you change the food style. The body can store up to 7-8 kgs of waste. It will stabilize after some time.
Is balsamic vinegar healthy compared to the generally available vinegar?
Shweta Gupta
12:34 PM | 16-04-2019
Here's my understanding about balsamic and white vinegar. Balsamic vinegar is basically made using grapes. Grape pressings are boiled and the thick syrup is then stored in wooden containers and allowed to ferment for years. White vinegar, on the other hand, is made using acetic acid and is hence very acidic. In that sense, balsamic vinegar is definitely a better choice than regular white vinegar. Balsamic vinergar is very strong and should be used in very little amount, possibly just to sprinkle over salads or dressings. It is also very expensive and one must make sure to buy the right quality of the same.
Dear all! I am a resident of Delhi. Now that summers are approaching and considering the Delhi heat, I am dreading my kids asking for cold-drinks and packaged juices as soon as they are back from school. I really don’t want them to consume these. What are some other interesting options to offer, especially for kids?

Hi. Don't worry, there are many options for your kids. 1. Nimboo paani- Make it with jaggery, roasted zeera powder & mint leaves. 2. Mango smoothie - Make it minus the milk or sugar. Buy nicely ripe sweet mangoes & churn their pulp in a mixie. You can also add some banana to this. 3. Aam panna- You can see the recipe here - https://www.wellcure.com/recipes/51/aam-panna-raw-mango-drink-drink-it-sugar-free 4. Bael sharbat - You can see recipe here - https://www.wellcure.com/recipes/49/sugarfree-bel-juice 5. Watermelon juice - minus the sugar. Simply churn watermelon in your mixie & sieve. 6. Coconut water 7. Kokum sharbat - I recently had a friend's potluck. It was super yummy. 8. Sugarcane juice Some of these you can make and keep in the fridge for a few days. In my house, one of aam panna or bael juice is always there. Else we make nimboo paani. Fruit juices or smoothies are mostly restricted to breakfast time. My 3-year-old loves all these drinks
It’s a daily struggle to get my kids to eat dry fruits. Please share how you get your kids to eat them?

Some kids like to have soaked nuts, that's a great starter for the day. Else, a couple of other ways that we have seen work are – nut paste added to soups or curries, nut powders added to vegetables or a simple dal-chawal meal or you could try making dry-fruit smoothie.
Hi …What are the alternatives to dairy milk? ? Are super market based organic milk really organic?
Smitha Hemadri
06:32 PM | 27-12-2018
Goodmylk in Bangalore sells pasteurised cashew and oat milk. You can make coconut milk at home ( 1:1:: grated coconut : water ) ; almond milk soak and use fresh water to extract its milk etc. one more book has got released recently - https://www.amazon.in/Rasoi-Everyday-Milks-Step-Step-ebook/dp/B07LG9715G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1545733964&sr=8-1&keywords=raw%20rasoi%20milk Organic milk is also not for human consumption. My family has suffered their ailments even with it. Plants are the only and best food source for humans.
I find it very confusing and overwhelming to figure out what to eat and what not to eat. Healthy feels boring, but am doing it because someone told me to. Do I have to be on raw all through my life?

Lifestyle is a way of life that you love body mind and spirit. If you live a conflicted life, your mind and heart being elsewhere and you looking at a healthy way of life as a diet then it's likely that you won't see results. Living a happy life with junk may not kill as opposed to living a conflicted life with raw. I have worked with someone who was a raw vegan but suffered a high bp. So unless you are at peace with anything, it's a crime to your body in doing it. Make peace with ur lifestyle or follow something that your heart asks. You may be wrong, but you will come back to the right reasons overtime.
