Spice it up with curry. Made from the turmeric root it is a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compound. Research has shown that it comes to protect the brain cells, but it can also prevent the build-up of the protein, beta-amyloid, one of the hallmarks of dementia.
Nothing makes a good cook happier than creating a wonderful meal and seeing the looks of joy and contentment on the faces of those being served. Food has consciousness; it is aware of our attitude and is affected by it. If we cook with negativity it impacts others on a spiritual level. Cooking with joy injects the ingredients with smiley faces, which eventually is fed into those who dine on it.
The next time you make a meal, add in some more ingredients like love, gratitude and joy… with a dash of humility. Be thankful of the various tools and machines that Hashem has brought into the world to quicken and ease up cooking today in comparison to generations past.
