While the
whole of India has been looking up the cancer status of Sonali Bendre online, I
decided to look up all her health related interviews before 2017 and to my
surprise came across a dozen articles, videos and personal interviews of Sonali
in which she emphasized so much on her diet and exercise routine. Her food
would consist of a lot of almonds, walnuts, veggies, fruits, eggs and fish. She
avoided carbs of every form and sugars. She even told the media how much she
would like her husband to loose weight since Goldie was always a stout guy. So
far she was titled a ''yummy mummy'' by Bollywood and admired by all for her
fit looks and beauty despite being a mother of a 12 year old son.
Now after all this, shouldn't she be the last
person to suffer from a stage 4 cancer?? Not forgetting to mention that every
fruit, veggies, eggs or fishes of her pantry would come from organic markets
given how rich she was?? Weren't her fitness trainers and Dieticians highly
qualified and renowned names?
The truth is in the garb of impressing the
world by dying from inside and killing herself from not eating the food she
actually should have had, she compromised her immunity and her well being and
today sadly her beauty has faded with the same diet she thought she was glowing
with. Restraining from foods we love and consuming foods(which no doubt are
healthy) but makes us unhappy and we force ourselves to eat it because it is
good for health, makes us only sad and depressed and the prime reason behind it
is consuming these foods unhappily. No one feels happy to consume a bowl of
salad instead of a bowl of freshly prepared rice and chicken curry. We consume
negativity with those foods not realizing how much we damage ourselves from
within and in our minds. I lost my uncle too, to a rare form of cancer that was
traced to a certain vegetable he consumed. His wife undercooked every vegetable
presuming it was good for health. She gave her husband every healthy food under
the sun only to learn later that he was diagnosed with 2 different types of
Cancers in his late 50's.
I strongly feel we should eat about
everything in moderation and not deprive ourselves of something we like since
we eat it relishing it and with love and any food eaten with love will never
harm us. All we need to avoid is highly processed foods and outside food.
Exercise regularly and never go on fad diets compromising your immunity.
Thanking God for our lives, not doing evil unto others and being kind and
helpful to all around us only contribute more to our longevity. While we can
achieve a short term goal of loosing weight but we have lost our long term goal
of keeping ourselves alive. The greatest examples of people living a long life
without any ailments were my husband's grandparents whose grandfather died at
100 years and grandmother at 95 years of age. At 97 He would refuse to eat Pork
if he didn't see the fat pieces in it but yes he lived a whole century! And so
did my grandparents who ate everything and worked physically hard in farms and
did their own work instead of hitting the gyms or doing yogas.
I pray for Sonali to recover and be united
with her family soon.
