Ayurvedic touch to lunch

While I always try experimenting with alternate medicines, home remedies, I was little skeptic to pay a visit to Cholaiyil Sanjeevanam Restaurant. I then decided to visit Sanjeevanam restaurant for lunch at Mugappair, Chennai. Touted as the natural health restaurant serving the meals prepared in Ayurvedic principles by trained and experienced cooks, it also showcases health products. The food is prepared only in earthen, bronze and copper vessels to reinforce that these contribute to the organic food.

The special attraction in the à la carte is the Rajakeeyam (Royal) lunch is a satvic meal. Satvic meals can be regarded as yogic diet or sentient diet, that are rich in antioxidants and leading to clarity of mind. Satvic diet is closest to natural form. However raw food may not be considered satvic owing to the impurity and microbes in raw form. So a satvic meal tries to emulate the nature food being moderately cooked with few spices and less fat added. Most of the cereals would accompany satvic diet. Honey, ghee and jaggery are also part of satvic diet. Picture this: Food that is less spicy and less oily, constituting the healthy cereals, sprouted grains, vegetable juice extracts moderately cooked is certainly proven to improve the healing response and builds the immunity, more so the digestive system is let to perform a lighter province, a heavy duty otherwise.



Satvic meal is eaten in an organized manner as the nutrients of fruits and vegetables should be absorbed by the system prior to the grains. (Courtesy: Placard placed in the serving table). The attendants would ensure to provide the order of serving to comfort yourself.

A pure vegeterian meal with 26 different varieties come at a cost little higher but yet a healthy bet

Swivel the life force by indulging yourself in a satvic diet and feel the difference swiftly. You will feel a completeness in diet but not a sense of heaviness and discomfort.
