A, B and C of Health

A for Appetite and Thirst

B for Brain Health

C for Culture

There is a proliferation of posts in the Internet regarding Health and Diet. 

I did a bit of search and realized these guys and girls are more interested in page hits and advertisements.

I have two sayings.

Even bad things can be advertised without peer review in the Internet.

Even a bad advertisement is good, if one is in to Insurance Business. Guys and Girls in insurance business work on alluring gullible individuals.

They are interested in the first 3 installments from which the prime seller derives substantial benefits. 
They have no control on subsequent installments, if the seller is not in the team.

Internet is cheap and a cesspool and anybody can access it and many of the claims are never substantiated.

Regarding Health and Diet what is most important is Common Sense.

A 
A is appetite and taste.
If one does not have hunger do not eat.

Two or there meals is a cultural habit.

Breakfast is the most important. In busy world it should cover at least 4 to 5 hours.
If one does that diligently, one can easily throw the so called lunch out of the window.

I use to have a glass of milk and big banana for lunch and TEA was my driving force.

Then one can think of the supper leisurely which can be prepared quickly or elaborately or even skip altogether.

I am a guy who says, a single meal a day was good enough for a prehistoric hunter, gatherer.


B
B is for Brain Health.

What brain needs is B Vitamins and MCTs which coconut oil is rich in. 

A banana, an avocado and pumpkin can provide all the brain vitamins and additionally vitamins A, C and E which are antioxidants.

C
C is one's culture.

One should learn to respect each culture on its merits.

One should not go to UK, USA and Australia and ask them to become vegetarians.

Similarly one should not go to India and tell them to prepare meat like in USA.

Let them make a masala.

Japanese eat raw fish which is revolting to me.

Koreans eat dog meat (their own dogs).

Muslims eat peacocks rared in their own home and their Halal system is a cultural norm.

Why Jews and Muslims do not eat pork is another enigma.

I come from a background that all animals have the right to live their own lives and snarl at anybody who keeps animal other than cats and dogs (domesticated).

I am against Buddhist monks who keep elephants in their temples. It is totally against Avihinsa or Compassion in Buddhism.

Elephants belong to the jungle!
