Tea & Coffee addiction

Since many months, we have given up drinking tea or coffee. We used to drink two cups of tea daily, with animal milk, for years. After stopping it completely, I observed a remarkable change in one of my symptom. I used to have diuretic effect of tea. That means, going to pass urine in large quantity after morning tea. Then gradually, I also observed that my bladder control was less. I had to frequently visit the loo. There was some nervousness also with it. Now, this is completely reversed. My bladder strength is now as good as I remember I had, as a child studying in school. Back to normal.
Tea or coffee is stimulating the adrenal gland each time we drink it. Our body interprets it as stress. Do we need this?
We take herbal tea every morning. No animal milk added.
It is made with Mint, Ginger, Fennel,Cardamom, Tulsi and chemical free jeggary added as required.

World Peace Diet - Book

A very nice book I am reading right now is called as 'World Peace Diet' by Dr. Will Tuttle. I was given a cd of the talks given by Dr. Tuttle at the Pea vs Pills workshop seminar. I listened to it, was very impressed and inspired. So, I searched the net, found the website and the book written by this author. It is very kind of the author to let us download the whole book in PDF format. I am reading it everyday. All that he writes makes sense. After being Vegan, I started noticing changes in my mind and body, totally unexpected. I decided to be a vegan with very open mind. The results are very good. Therefore, I started reading the book. The book describes a lot in detail about food's influence on us. The book can be downloaded from the website http://www.worldpeacediet.org/
My brother has become a vegan too. He has just heard me mentioning a bit about milk and violence to animals. He decided to give it a try. He stopped taking all the animal milk products. And from, literally day 1 onwards he saw change in his health. He had chronic sinusitis. His nose was always congested. That started clearing up. now he is free from this. He feels less tired. His memory is also improving. He is now completely convinced about health benefits of Vegan diet. He also told me that he used feel some kind of sadness & depression always at the back of his mind, all these years. He did not know what it was. Apparently everything going good in life, but this sadness, heaviness was always there. Now, that is gone. It is replaced by a sense of peace, calm. He has less aches & pains in his body.
Something for me...a doctor to learn!
Animal milk is Kaphajanya ( Mucus forming), according to Ayurveda also. So, when you stop taking animal milk, your exceesive kapha disturbance improves.
Drinking a sad animals milk can only make us sad.

Peas vs Pills workshop - being Vegan

I attended a very nice workshop on diet by Dr. Nandita Shah. It is called as 'Peas vs Pills' workshop. It is learning about being a vegan. I am already vegetarian. But I was not Vegan. Vegan is the term for those who do not take any animal products as food, which includes milk. I was taking all the animal milk products until recently. I was just like most of us, taking animal milk products traditionally. But I was not aware about the pain an animal has to go through to give us that milk. I was not fully aware that animal milk is indeed difficult to digest for adults. I decided to give it a try. I stopped taking all the animal milk products. It is more than a month. I am feeling comfortable, easy. No problems giving up ALL the animal milk products. This includes butter, cheese, curd, ghee ( Clarified butter ) etc.
In a way, I have disconnected my self from using animal products, where an animal may have been harmed. But, at higher level, in my consciousness, I feel very connected, for the first time to animal kingdom! I feel the same connection that I feel for the plant kingdom. I do feel an expansion in my consciousness by being so aware about the animals on this planet. I am happy to be a vegan now.
