Re: thanda khana
^ If u elave it in th fridge, yeah why not :p
Re: thanda khana
Its better you eat lots of vegetables and fruits! If you live in the UK, Sainsbury's Country Vegetables Mixture is one of the best healthy food.
You better eat multi grain bread or roti.
Re: thanda khana
oho, we are not talking about choolha and fridge plz....
Re: thanda khana
so how would you define 'gharam' and 'thanday' foods in english?
i've tried explaining it to my non-desi friends, and they don't get it.
chinese are the only ones that will understand what you're talking about :D
Re: thanda khana
You can give them example of black pepper or garam masala which physically may be cold but when consumed produces 'heat' in the body.... or diluted yogurt to fight 'heat' in summer etc.
Re: thanda khana
^ yeah, i don't think they'd get that :D
Re: thanda khana
Ok Captain Sahib, forget about garam and Thanda, the best thing for dry skin is the two important vitamins i.e. "E" and "C"
I posted this elsewhere too, in order for these vitamins to get to the skin cells, they have to be transported there, and that is done by Alpha-Lipoic-Acid. which is found in large quantities naturally in Spinach and Blueberries, eat these fresh or take over the counter supplements of the compound. results were from research done at Berkley and other institutions. search on the net for this compound or read Dr Nicholas Perricone's book, he is a Harvard MD Dermatologist.
**Good Luck...:) **
Re: thanda khana
Sindsagar is right about Alpha lipoic acids. As well essential fatty acids found in fish oils (omega 3 supplements) or falxseed oil supplements are a must.
ALso I remember in aryuveda there are saatvik and tamsik foods.
Saatvik - a really good habit is to drink moong water every morning. Boil whole green moong and drink a bowl of the water. Very very cooling in your body. If you need add bit salt. Other foods in this category are doodhi, rice and believe it or not some mithatis (made from milk products). ALso good to add ghee in your meals.
Re: thanda khana
My advice:
Take Vitamin B Complex and zinc supplements....
BComplex contains B6 for healthy reproductive system as well as folic acid to help prevent birth defects. Are you taking multi vitamins? If you are and if you do conceive, please check if they have Vit A as you should stop Vit A when you conceive.
Re: thanda khana
captain sahab must be thogoughly confused now lol. with so many interpretations of garam and thanda out there i think u're better off going to a real practitioner than rely on our advice for your health. someone might give u the wrong advice......u never know...na jaanay kitnay dushman hein aapke iss forum mein...
Re: thanda khana
meat is garam, sabzi-daal, dhoodh, fruit etc. are thanday. peanuts r also garam
Re: thanda khana
actually I am losing trust in these so-called practitioners, you go to them and if they don’t have good fix then you become their test rabbits, they will give you medication whose side-effects may not be clear even to them but they will still prescribe it. I would rather do testing of my own using natural items.
Re: thanda khana
does anyone know if 'qahwa' (arabic tea) is yin or yang?
Re: thanda khana
reduce the amount of spices, they are all "garam", especially the likes of fennel, clove, cardamom etc.
Re: thanda khana
Fennel? I believe fennel is thanda. This is just from mums aunts and grandmas. Where did you get your info from. Perhaps you are right.
Re: thanda khana
Maybe it was the chinese food I had last night that gave me these weird dreams 
are nosebleeds a result of being “garam” inside?
Re: thanda khana
can be sara.
does anyone know for sure what avocados are?
