Health is wealth; know what you eat 身心灵之约@芽笼
Body and Mind @ BWM Geylang district held the Thirty-Five Buddhas Repentance Practice, a talk on food additives as well as healthy dish cooking demonstration on 23/11/2019, 7pm to 8.45pm at Citiraya Building.
Mr. Wen ChuanBai and Ms. Hu DeZhen guided the participants by using the video of Venerable Ru Jun’s discourse, "My Unwavering Aspiration", on how to set the correct motivation prior to the repentance practice. That is, in order to help all sentient beings and to attain Buddhahood, I need to clear all obscurations and accumulate merits by doing repentance. With such pure aspiration, the participants completed the practice joyously.
The next segment was followed by a talk on food additives by Mr. Low Boon Eng. We are what we eat. The various food additives that enhance the flavours, colours and smell of our food are actually harmful to our body.
Our daily food intake consists of various food additives, though in small amount, unknowingly, it adds up to be large amount and eventually may cause us various sickness, such as headaches, vomiting, liver/kidney failure, etc.
A one-time food-additives top salesman and chemist Tsukasa Abe, who once helped developed cheaper, longer-lasting food for a supermarket realised the lurking danger after seeing the food he helped to engineer, was consumed by his beloved 3 years old daughter. So he quitted his job and now works in a firm that produces natural unprocessed salt. His book - "The Horrible Food Additives" was a best seller.
We are grateful that we get to enjoy and consume healthy products that were developed and/or available for sale at Yes Natural, of which they have been made with minimal food additives. All of these are made possible because of the guidance of our Master Jih-Chang who compassionately advocated the concept of loving-kindness for better health for all.
The program followed by a healthy dish cooking demonstration, and sharing of cooking tips through “sea velvet”, for losing weight, lowering of cholesterol, and nourishing the blood, etc. Participants got to sample the yummy dish. A few first timers turned up and found the programme to be useful.
Don't miss the next body and mind appointment @ BWM Geylang on Saturday 21/12/2019, 7pm- 8.45pm at Citiraya Building. It will be about how the hot selling item, "wheat gems biscuits" were developed. See you there!
