Born with a Silver Spoon!

The New generation have developed a default cynical attitude towards our traditions and practices . We fail to understand the reason ...

Is deep rooted into our culture!!!

In most of the modern homes in the recent times people eat in melamine plates and find it outdated to eat in metal plates. In India it was a custom  to eat in metal plates or leafy  plates only some decades ago, with modernisation we all have forgotten our culture and age old customs, which are harming our own health.

According to Ayurveda every aspect of food has an impact on our health, the freshness and quality of food, it's construction, it's combination, time at which it is cooked, the room and atmosphere and the plate as well.

Different Metals have different effects on the persons health, in India people mostly used Iron plates and some wealthy homes used golden and silver ware as well.

Have you ever thought why the older generation in your house guard their silver dinnerware like a pirate does to the plunder? Well it has a scientific approach towards it, Silver and Gold have germicidal, anti Viral and anti bacterial properties.

 

More than a sign of economic status a person born with a Silver Spoon is an Indication of a well nourished upbringing!

Bronze plates cure worm infection  and iron plates cures anemia, edema and jaundice. 

Banana leaves generate appetite, infact one can write an entire blog on this Subject. Let me elaborate the benefits though. In severalSouth Indian homes it is a custom to serve food on banana leaves. The custom dates back thousands of years, the food served on these leaves absorb polyphenol so that you get the benefits of the nutrition.

 Banana leaves also have anti bacterial properties killing the germs and thus improving your immune system. Also the wax in the leaves melts giving a flavour to the food making the food taste better.

To summarise, the traditions in the Indian culture may at times seem orthodox but the next time you see a banana leaf for a plate, try to take off your cynic glasses and view and understand it from an open mind....Reason won't be far away!
