Observe your weekly eating habits and note down which day/days you had a proper home cooked nutritional meal. If three meals are taken as standard meals in any given day, then we have an opportunity to feed our body with 21 meals in a week. So, how many times have you had a bowl of freshly cut fruits? Did you have homemade soups which carry no Maida or corn flour? Keep the answer to yourself. I will tell you what is needful for you to know.
