When I received the
Indiablogger email blast about Happy hours, it reminded me to start blogging
again. And what more incentive than a possible Rs 1,000 flipkart voucher to get
started again?
I got hooked to
reading as a kid when after school; I preferred to curl up on a sofa with a
book, instead of playing with friends outside. That lack of outdoors physical
activity did lead to a few extra pounds in school, but thanks to products like
Horlicks, Boost, Boornvita and Chyawanprash, my immune system did not take a
beating.
Kids don't like
medicine, and I was certainly no exception. Despite all the ads of 'Taste bhi
health bhi' for Maggi etc, my parents never preferred noodles/fast food instead
focusing on nutritional food like Chyawanprash which actually ensured 'Taste
bhi health bhi'-that original tagline credit should go to them, as the
sweet-sour taste and jam consistency, means it can be taken directly or with
milk/bread, without losing its nutritional properties. Such nutritional spreads
protected me from cough/cold in school days. After that, I took a break from
all health food, till recently when I was down with the common cold/flu in
Delhi and Mumbai. At that time, I realized I had to rebuild my immune system to
avoid the 'Kejriwal cough’:D. And what better than to restart a course of
Chyawanprash? It comes in many more variants including even a sugar free
version.
Thankfully, after restarting the sugar free version of Chyawanprash (I
don't have diabetes but why take the risk?), my cold/cough is a thing of the
past, and despite being exposed to pollution day in/day out (an inherent risk
of living in a metro), and my immune system is no longer taking a beating.
Despite how much my lifestyle stretches my health to the fullest(think
sedentary lifestyle/odd hours for food), the immunity bank was built up so
excellently as a kid, that even as an adult, I rarely fall ill, and recover
quickly from ailments. And this keeps my parents from worrying about how their
son is doing away from home. So indeed, my being a healthy child, led to a
happy home as a kid (no missing school due to small ailments: D), and even as
an adult where they do not need to worry about my health. As the company
puts it in the link referenced above ‘Dabur Chyawanprash’s magnificent
brew of Ayurvedic herbs strengthens the body’s natural defence mechanism by
stimulating your NK cells* (Natural Killer Cells). NK cells assist in fighting
with virus and bacteria in your body, thus giving us increased immunity from
various infections‘
Medical insurance rarely
covers visits to OPD or cases involving treatment for infections/fevers/flu,
which can involve a sizeable hit to your wallet. So in inflationary times, do
protect your family’s health and financial future by inter-alia, incorporating
health food like Chyawanprash in your normal diet. And do give them to kids
early on for a sustained period so that they develop a taste for it later, and
more importantly, are able to live their childhood to the fullest without
missing out on activities for medical reasons. When children are able to become
all-rounders, that satisfies them and their parents the most than just being
sports jocks/nerds. For more information on
doing this through health foods , you can go to this link

which does go beyond mere product information, to actually educate the customer
on how to take it.
