With seasonal changes, we are susceptible to falling sick. Common colds, viral fevers, etc. It is said that the body has power to heal itself.

The source for healing is the energy, which is prevalent and obtained from the food we intake.

Now, the body likes food in the simplest form. It is easily broken down and the energy and nutrients are easily obtained from such food.

In our normal day to day lives, we are eating cooked food. In short, this is a process, which modifies the food and makes it complex.

When we ingest such food, the body, has to work hard to convert the food from complex into a simplified form and then obtain the energy and nutrients.

So to do this, it consumes more energy than storing, which otherwise can be diverted to the problem areas in the body to heal itself.

Even when you visit a doctor, he/she often guides you to have simple food and avoid oily and heavy food, etc. He/she knows how our body works and how it heals.

The best thing to do during such period is to take fresh raw foods like salads and fruits.

The body easily absorbs the nutrients and energy without spending energy towards digestion. Such saved energy now is being used by the body to heal itself.
