"Anything bad makes you suffer initially. The first time you smoke a cigarette you cough terribly. Your throat and nose burn due to the smoke. But if you persist for some days the cough disappears and smoking continues. The same way, when you drink liquor for the first time, you may even vomit due to its bitter taste. But once you become alcoholic, you love its taste. Just ten days’ friendship turned bad into good for the body. So also salt becomes good to the body. If the salt is more, for the first time the body advises you to spit it out, but if you continue eating the same quantity, the body and the tongue mutely accept it."
"We should eat the food that would get digested easily, would give us more energy in less time and send less waste material. The main dharma of food is it should contain life in it. Instead of providing such a food we are cooking, frying roasting and adding spices to the food. We are taking food at odd hours. To worsen it, we are eating as per our senses ignoring the dharma of the body. Can a car run with kerosene instead of petrol ? We are doing that to our body."
krystyna : Welcome. When I knew about our taste buds which changes for every 10 days, I felt we can change our habits. But, it is very very tough. Atleast, we can reduce salt intake.
asha : What you said is true. But, we need to change our food habits. If not now, atleast later.

Hi Kalpana!
Thanks for very needful links!
It is good to know about salt:

Thanks Kalpana!
Have a great day!
Anything eaten in excess is bad for you. In moderation, everything is okay!
right, as everyone says, eaten in moderation should be good.
HappY new year once again :)
