This one is a dieter’s delight, a morning ritual for instant weight loss. Those numbers can govern our mood, energy and self-worth. Now there goes an error in judgement; our body weight is a limited measure to evaluate fitness. But there’s still something to the kilos that makes us take desperate measures towards weight loss success. I often come across women who would otherwise prefer a salt-free dinner and ‘indulge’ in dal–rice, thanks to this morning star. The fear of eating salt goes out of the window when coriander seed water comes to the rescue. It makes me wonder, shouldn’t our quest for fitness bring more stability and strength to life—body and mind included? On the contrary, modern-day fitness trends comprising of changing food habits and photoshopped bodies have left us even more restless and insecure. The science behind healthy eating may be simple but we surely have become more complicated.
