Growing Your Own Food: A Step Toward Health & Sustainability

We often think we should stay close to nature and eat natural food, or we should eat packaged food available in the market. Look, we are getting caught up in all this, even if we don't want to. We have become lost in such a diet, which has distanced us from nature. Very few people like to live in solitude. Most people enjoy being part of the lion's glory and the flock there. Very few people have been able to break free from all this, even though everyone wants to be close to nature or eat natural things. Times used to be very different. If I think back to my childhood, we all lived in villages, and everyone there was mostly in the villages, so everyone farmed and everyone depended on it. Gradually, times changed, and everyone moved to the mountains in search of jobs. Yes, there were plenty of jobs there at the time, and there still are, but now they're quite limited because the population has grown so much since then.

Earlier, people would stay at home and make their own food and drink. There used to be a kind of trading system, where villagers would take vegetables to big shopkeepers and buy the things they needed from them. They always had enough vegetables for food, and every animal knew about them. Because of this, everyone had access to milk and yoghurt. If someone didn't have enough, neighbours would help them out. But now, the environment has changed drastically, and if you go to your village, you'll see that very few people live there anymore, and life there is quite difficult. Everyone thinks that he will work for a few years and then he will go to the mountains and spend his life there, but see, all these things are probably not good for you in reality or if you are not rich then it might be difficult for you because if I tell you the reality of the mountains then life here is very difficult, if you have lived in the city then you might not feel that much comfortable in the mountains, you might like the peace and everything here for some time but after some time all these things will start to seem very strange to you.

In the past, everything was grown naturally, and plants weren't given many medicines, which meant you ate completely healthy, completely natural food. But now, there are a lot of pet products and medicines available, which also protect trees. But look, nowadays, people are doing different things, which can allow you to artificially grow vegetables, or adopt methods that can help you grow or produce vegetables faster. You may have noticed that sometimes you see fruits or vegetables that are not in season. This is all a result of this.

Look, nature is incredibly beautiful. If you respect and honour it, and if you use its products, then you should also give something back. If you don't, you will definitely see the consequences. This year has been very sad for Uttarakhand, where I live. So far, a lot has happened here, and I don't know what else we all have to face by the end of the year. See, nature teaches us a lot, and we all should learn from it and not destroy it. We see many places where people protect nature, but big businessmen are opening factories by cutting down huge forest areas created by industries, through which they are earning money for themselves but are causing huge damage to nature.

Yes, if you want to eat natural food and stay away from packaged food available in the market, you can do so. If you have a little space in your house, you can easily grow vegetables, and they are quite good too. If you want to do this, you can watch many videos on YouTube for all this information. I too am very fond of all these things, but currently, where I live, there is a lot of monkey menace, due to which growing fruits and vegetables has become a little difficult. However, at some point, I am planning to fence off a small area on my roof and create a small garden there, where I will plant different types of vegetables and a few trees. Yes, I have planted trees, but till now I have never focused much on vegetables. My father and I are very fond of all these things.

So, in conclusion, I would just say that you should consume as much natural food as possible, and the more you stay away from adulterated products, the better it is, because that's the secret to your health. Nowadays, you'll see people suffering from so many different kinds of illnesses, and the reason for that is all this packaged food. We mostly make our own spices at home. Currently, we don't buy them from the market. We source the raw materials, dry them, and grind them ourselves, ensuring the purest ingredients. Nowadays, there are so many different types of adulteration in spices, which is causing people to suffer from various diseases. If you want to eat natural food and stay close to nature, you can do that, but you'll have to struggle a little bit.
