"Start with your plate..."


Author: Bhai Brahmjit Singh 

Have you read the above? Now think how much you rely on ready meals, microwaves, GM food, non-organic and processed food, compared to 100 years ago. Have you ever considered, there must be some correlation between the rise in illnesses and diseases and what we eat and drink?

I’ve been saying this for a while and many still don’t believe it…... Good health starts from your plate. When we were kids (yes it was long ago) much of what was eaten by families was home cooked food using fresh ingredients, in fact, once upon a time, most food was organic! It’s not too late for us to make a change, its never too late; its even more important for those of you with young children- let’s give them the best chance going forward.

According to the BBC, researchers have now linked ultra-processed food to Cancer. But, what is ultra-processed food? Cakes, chocolates, crisps, ready meals, sweet drinks and even mass-produced bread (that you get in supermarkets). These foods are a big contributory factor to being overweight, which is the biggest preventable cause of disease after smoking.

Some of us are lucky having a head start in this; we were given a GurSikh Rehit (code of conduct), over 300 years ago, which guides Sikhs in all aspects of life. Those that follow Rehit (amongst other things) only eat food prepared at home, using only raw ingredients by those that follow Rehit too- this includes not using plastic at all. Every aspect of our Rehit is practical and beneficial to our physical and mental health. Let’s share this amazing information and make this post viral, share it with everyone, share it far and wide and in years to come, let’s see if we can reverse the figures in the above post.

The Khalsa Bibekery- where everything is made by hand, using raw and (where possible) only organic ingredients, including milk and handmade butter. Be inspired!
