To have a healthy day we can follow our conventional methods of eating
It is good to have medicinal herbs in our food weekly once.In our house our mother used to prepare a kashayam by grinding ginger, coriander and slight jaggery one week.
On the next week dried turkey berry powder made after fried along with pepper or red chilis to mix with plain boiled rice by adding slight salt and ghee or gingly oil.
On the another week we have been given 'rasam' by using garlic cloves grinded with pepper and jeera
For small children my mother used to give the juice of fresh radish added salt slightly to remove the kapha in lungs.
Excessive heat in the body creates many health disorders and so adding butter milk in lunch have been practiced in many houses. Nowadays many parents avoid butter milk or curd to their childrens by saying it leads to cold.
In evenings if mothers practices to give sundals made of grains like soya, channa, rajma, peas, or upma made of poha in evenings when the children come from school it is good to the health of them as well prevents them from eating junk foods.
