Ezhaam Suvai (Tamil)

by K. Sivaraman

“Eating Spinach cools body!”, “why you are not eating Curry leaves, chew well and eat, that is very good for health”. Eat Veldt grape (Perantai thovaiyal) that is good medicine for stomach. We now only have the memories of our ancestors, who only used food as medicine to cure all ailments. In this rapid world where we have forgotten the habit of sitting together and eating, we don’t find time to identify the bad and healthy foods. How many people knew Solanum Trilobatum (Thoothuvalai) is good medicine for cold and plantain stem is good for kidney problems and drumstick leaves are good for body strength? As we are running behind time in this fast moving world we are in a mentality to “Eat what we get”. Even the people who choose food and eat are focusing only on taste but not on health. The climate, effects, needs are all listed and the food that are best suited for these are listed in this book by Dr.Sivaraman. Gooseberry, cabbage, drumstick leaves, coriander leaves makes health better. Fenugreek controls diabetes, garlic cares for heart, pitikarunai cures constipation and so on are well explained by author Sivaraman in this book. This book compares all the traditional and present methods of eating practices we have, and the best method which we have to adopt. Not only as a doctor, but also as a socialist who has great care and hope for youngsters, Sivaraman has brought a better understanding in many ways through this book.

In the same spirit as his other two books I have read Aaram Thinai - Part 1 and Aaram Thinai - Part 2, Dr. Sivaraman has really created the awareness that we are losing about the rich nutritious food that our forefathers had in practice. We are being attracted by the corporate fancy statements about the food we eat and we have already started to despise the food that has kept us healthy for so many generations. More importantly, the preparation and inclusion of those food items that kept out health in balance is mostly ignored or forgotten by the arrival of packed foods that have nothing but attractive labelling for the most part.
