Everyday ,I get a few patients of acidity and gastritis .The culprit is always modern fast living making them skip breakfast .Most of the time it is women who can make tiffins for the whole family but do not want to waste time rolling out a chapati for herself and then waste time eating it .The result is acidity , bad digestion and in the long run gallstones, diabetes , hypertension .
On the other hand is another group which skips meals because they want to lose weight and having the traditional grease laden paranthas will cause weight gain and so they choose to skip the breakfast as a shortcut to weight loss .Though it only slows down their metabolic rate and can cause nutritional deficiencies making them cranky,weak and falling sick frequently.
My Rx :
A solid Anaaj ka Nashta (cereal breakfast) every day.
Coming to a healthy and tasty start of the day, I recollect my recent visit to our neighbour Guptaji’s house for breakfast.
We had recently shifted residence and so our friendly neighbour Guptaji invited our family to breakfast at their home.

Guptaji’s family consists of the simple and warm hearted Mr. Gautam Gupta , his effervescent and beautiful wife Mrs. Shalu Gupta ,their cherubic son Gattu and bubbly teenaged daughter Ritu.Their’s is a small and happy family .Always smiling and ready to help.I was really looking forward to our rendez-vous at their place.
After exchanging pleasantries and little bit of cricket chit -chat , we all took our places at the breakfast table .A delicious smell was wafting in from their kitchen and our kids looked excited .
Naturally we were very curious though secretly I was also a little wary of getting something dripping in oil in the name of tasty breakfast(Nashta).
