Importance of healthy breakfast for kids

Breakfast literally means – Breaking the fast – it provides the body and brain with fuel after an overnight fast. Without breakfast you are practically running on an empty fuel tank. While breakfast should be eaten within two hours of waking up, a nutritious and wholesome breakfast is a must to energize you during the day.

For children the importance of a healthy breakfast is paramount. With a long day ahead of them, without a balanced breakfast they feel lethargic and have short attention spans. Also, children who don’t eat a good breakfast tend to eat more junk food during the day — snacks that are high in fat and sugar and low in nutritional value.

Apart from providing us with energy, breakfast foods are good sources of important nutrients such as calcium, iron and B vitamins as well as protein and fibre. The body needs these essential nutrients and research shows that if these are missed at breakfast, they are less likely to be compensated for later in the day. Nutritionist and Dietitian Sonia Narang decodes some of the essential everyday spices that can boost the metabolism and rejuvenate the mind and body.

The Power of Novel Pancharmrit

What is Panchamrit ?

Nector of Life

For every Hindu pooja vidhi, Panchamrit is required for Abhishek and Naivedyam or Bhog. Panchamrit is called as Panchamrutham in south India, Panchamrut in Maharashtra and Panchamrit or Charnamrit  in North India. The recipe of Panchamrit varies from place to place but the basic recipe of Panchamrit, Panchamrutham or Panchamruth is the same. Panch means 5 and Amrit, Amrutham or Amrut means a holy drink.  In Puran, Shastra and Ayurveda; it is described that Panchamrit is made up 5 nectars or ingredients in particular proportion. If it is combined in that proportion a very healthy nourishing Panchamrit is formed.

 

Origin of Panchamrit

The most popular mention of the drink can be traced back to Mahabharata (largest epic ever written in the history of Mankind!). In Mahabharata it is stated that the Panchamrit was perhaps one of the valuable ingredients that emerged during Samudra manthan or Ksheera sagar manthan (churning of the ocean of milk). The demons and gods who were part of the process had a very long fight in establishing their control over this amrit, because they knew that whoever had it will become immortal forever.

According to mythology, the five elements of this sweet concoction have symbolic meaning. For example – Milk represents purity and piousness and Honey depicts sweet speech and unity. (Because it is prepared jointly by bees) and Sugar represents sweetness and bliss.

Religious importance

All religious Hindu Pooja and functions are incomplete without the Panchamrit (Panchamrit Prasad). It is used as an offering during poojas (bhog prasad). It is used as a libation during Abhisheka(bathing the idols).
