Some discussions on healthy food

During one Vinayaka Chaturthi celeberation, Swami has given a fine discourse in which Swami has elaborated the reasons for offering steam boiled dishes to Vinayaka. Swami said, Steam boiled foods are agreeable to the body and health. Oil fried items are injurious to health. Since Vinayaka is in favor of such steam boiled items, he was maintaining excellent health. Nowadays many fast food restaurants have sprung up all over the cities and suburbs. People prefer taste over health. Swami once told a small example in support of this truth. In the villages, butter milk is sold at a very cheap rate at your door step. But people discard such healthy drink but they go many miles in search of toddy and liquor which is not only costly, but injurious to health and family. Sairam.
