Eat right, Stay healthy!


The onset of a disease signals
You lost the first battle
In the war of
body’s  immune defense
And the attacking germs and virus
Know thyself to know all
Know your body to heal thyself well

A right nutrient mix
Keeps the body engine
running well ,safe and sound
The fuel-mix of Carbs, proteins,
Vitamins, fats, minerals
And fibre come ingrained
In the right food
Light  fire in the belly-
The Oxygen stoked combustion
Releasing instant energy
For instant use
And stored build up
For ongoing use

Free floating Oxygen species
Emerge alongside forging an attack
On the cells and DNA
The right combo of the nutrient-fuel-mix
Come inbuilt with the anti-oxidants
Keeping the free reactive species at bay
and  the means to ridding the body of  toxins

Better not to catch ill
Than to fall ill and heal then
Is the secret to sound health
Right nutrition is the key to
That sound health
Aiding easy digestion,
Expelling toxins,
Scavenging the free radicals,
Keeping the diseases at bay
Miss not a nutrient
Fall not ill!
Learning to eat
Is also learning what not to eat!

Right nutrition is what it
Takes to boost immunity
Immunity is what keeps the body
Healthy, hale and alive!

Guarding the skin-swathed fort
The immunity keeps vigil
The invading germs and virus
 lying in wait take a sneak peek
Waiting for the opportune moment
When malnutrition, contamination, infection
Any of it or all of it
Cloud the immunity’s vigil
The invaders move in
Taking roots and wresting control
Declaring you sick!

All is not over for the body
Declare war on the declarers!
The body can still heal itself
With little help and support
By the disease fighting herbs
And home remedies
Fighting it the holistic way

Right food heals
the pesticide free,
fertilizers free organic food
heal still fast and strong
ensuring you remain
unpolluted, uncontaminated, uninfected
Go organic! Go green! Eat green!
Eat raw veggies and fruits
With the routine foodies
Of all nutrients
Ward off cell damage
Ward off ageing
Keep well, stay young!
Best best wishes!
